Rand Paul: "Secretary Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn't happen. And then the next day, from the podium of the WH, they're saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and didn't know what had happened."

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

"Being an American citizen is an honor and a privilege — and if you want to be an American, it’s all or nothing. It’s time to end dual citizenship for good"

Freaking nationalist authoritarians are like "what makes America great is PURITY!". Idiots.

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

Spc Sarah Beckstrom died. Trump admin will say, "don't politicize!" Well fuck them.

There is ZERO evidence that the Nat'l Guard was necessary, nor that it did anything positive by stationing them on the streets of DC. Trump killed her, as much as the gunman. HE politicized this. He owns this.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

The number of ways this is disgraceful behavior from the Secretary of Defense is...a lot.

Service members do have a duty to refuse illegal orders

All Americans have a 1st Amendment right to say that out loud.
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

They need to start laying charges against these agents.

Start with the man who shot Marimar Martinez five times and then bragged about how he put “seven holes” in her.

They need to learn they’re not above the law.

That “just following orders” is not a defence.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago.

She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media.

All charges against her have been dropped.

In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.

This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

Arrest the President for sedition.

"But he has immunity!"

Don't care. He wrote the playbook. Arrest him and make him play it out on the courts. Render him unable to do more damage or threaten more people with DEATH THREATS without consequences.

Forget winning... immobilize him.

Dear MAGA. Can I tell you a secret?

When he said "Make AMERICA Great Again", he never considered you part of "America." You don't matter to him, and you never did. He got what he needed from you, and now he's moving on...just like he's always done.

Just like he's always done.
