There is a major Antifa cell here at Arlington Cemetery: tens of thousands of Antifa members in full view, who gave their lives fighting fascism.

I found the agitators! They are 2 unicorns, giraffe, canary, panda, mouse, dinosaur, mouse, Stitch, and the frog! And they are right outside of Portland's ICE facility! 🤣🤣🤣

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

1.) One of those „kids“ is a state senator in Vermont. (They’re not kids)
2.) kids are bigots is a weird stance
3.) going full boys will be boys about the „I love Hitler“ chat is quite a choice
4.) What else to expect from a guy who still follows Bronze Age Pervert on X? (Rhetorical question)

The WH budget for FY26 includes a proposed $18B cut to NIH, a $5B cut to NASA, a $5B cut to NSF, a $5B cut to CDC, and a $5B cut to EPA. You don't need a math/econ PhD to see that a $40B bailout to Argentina covers this and more right here in the USA.

Bessent says US considers doubling aid to Argentina to $40B

The assistance is aimed at bolstering the country's collapsing currency and calming economic unrest before Oct. 26 midterm elections.

US Citizens, know your rights! Memorize these laws:

ICE/Federal: BIVENS DOCTRINE

State & Local: STATUTE 42 USC § 1983

Officers can be held PERSONALLY liable for violating US Citizen rights. Meaning they can lose their jobs, homes, EVERYTHING!

Boyle: Mike Johnson and House Republicans have decided to do their own version of quiet quitting — they canceled session three weeks ago, they canceled session two weeks ago, and they’ve now canceled it last week and this week.

There is clearly no strategy there other than pure, sheer laziness

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!
