Republicans constantly accuse others of that for which they are guilty. The Trump/Vance govt is the most wasteful, fraudulent & abusive in American history, How about making that a headline story, if randos like me can glean this truth from the data flowing since Trump took over, surely you can.

Maybe I missed it in your article but how many people are associated with “antifa” organizations in the 3 states you note? The number seems minuscule. As such, the greater message being used by the left that “we are all antifa” makes sense as it’s indeed good to be anti-fascist.

“what some say they see as increasing authoritarian governance” are words for the history books. Journalism is dead under billionaire rule. It’s factually true & obvious that the Trump/Vance Admin is an authoritarian one. Do WAPO writers have no brains? No journalism degrees?

At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians.

Trump ICE regime troops terrorizing American civilians out shopping, knowing fully well they are US citizens. The regime thugs are violently chasing people, especially nonwhites, they don't show them ID.

The GOP was never serious about anything other than power; they pushed whatever propaganda needed to fool people (even themselves). All major scandals in my life (sans BJ lie by Clinton) have been Republican. See my pinned post. It’s obvious.The GOP is the enemy within & has been all along. Evil.

Challenging time for everyone given the fact America’s ruling Republican Party & its criminal leader lie every day.

Trump inherited growing economies from both Obama & Biden. He wrecked them both. Republicans are complicit in the corruption of our govt by a 34 count traitorous felon & sex offender. What fraudsters you all are. Thank God for the @democrats.org - our only hope.

STOP LYING WAPO! Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Dems have been clear on what they require, and it’s to the benefit of the American people. Meanwhile, Republicans continue to break laws & self deal using taxpayer money.

“Deplorables” was a scandal for years and she wasn’t even in the government yet. This is the White House Press Secretary, whose salary is paid by the American public.

Kudos to the Atlanta airport for recognizing this video by Noem & the Republican Admin is illegal. Trump/Vance et al flaunt the laws of our land at every turn. They abuse their power & use taxpayer money to benefit themselves. Pray to God they all end up behind bars in one of their own prisons.

The entire first two months of the Biden administration were taken up by obsessive complaining about how he wouldn't do press conferences & wasn't taking policy questions (bsky.app/profile/mcop...).

This? Gone tomorrow. Totally different set of standards applied to two totally different parties.

It’s really sad that media bias favoring Republicans has kept so many unaware that Democrats have been our economy’s salvation all along. Republicans ruin it, Dems save it. Rinse & repeat. This go around though, might be too late. Trump/Vance the most corrupt & incompetent yet, hellbent on evil.
