A crime so bad you need not prove it in a court of law! Your punishment? Death or a very stern warning before going home.

It boggles the legal mind. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Why? Complete waste of taxpayer money. Where is the Congressional authorization and oversight? Appropriations? Disgraceful abuse of power for a dog-killer.

It’s been a busy month traveling across the state, but I’m so grateful for the chance to meet and talk with so many folks in every corner of Florida.

We’re growing our coalition at every campaign stop, and we’re just getting started. We’ll see you at an event soon!

Wrong boat. Most likely innocent civilians. Where is the proof any of these killings were “narco-terrorists”? We need proof. U.S. is likely violating international and military law. Justice is coming.

The Trump administration has decided to return the two survivors of the recent US airstrike to their home countries, Colombia and Ecuador, instead of prosecuting them or holding them in detention.

But if they were so dangerous that Trump had to blow up their boat, why are they being released?

If the administration has such great evidence that these targets are narcoterrorists who pose an imminent threat to the national security of the United States, why are they not being tried in our criminal courts? 🤔

Breaking news: The United States plans to repatriate two alleged drug traffickers to Colombia and Ecuador after military forces attacked their vessel in the Caribbean on Thursday.

It is unclear if the two surviving alleged drug smugglers have any links to Venezuelan criminal organizations.

And *this* is why the White House spent all week desperately--and stupidly--trying to undermine No Kings in advance. They had reason to be scared.

Here at our local No Kings.

I’d say turnout is perhaps 4X that of June.

Sorry to inform Mike Johnson, I haven’t run into anyone paid to be here, or “antifa,” or anti-American. Many veterans. Lots of attendees thanking the pair of Fairfax Country policeman strolling around keeping an eye on things.

No Kings, Naples, Florida. At least 3,000 here easily. Some great protest signs here, but no signs of any domestic terrorists and no one I spoke with hates America. To the contrary, we are all here because we love America and want to preserve our democracy from Trump’s escalating fascism. #NoKings🇺🇸

A revealingly creepy formulation by Speaker Johnson.

What does he mean by “they” are going to “descend” on “our” capital?

WE are going to assemble in OUR communities exercising OUR constitutional rights in defense of OUR nation.

Johnson: “They're going to descend on our capital for their much-anticipated so-called ‘No Kings’ rally. We refer to it by its more accurate description: 'The Hate America' rally. I'm not sure how anybody can refute that."
