SHUT THE FUCK UP, REPUBLICANS. "NO KINGS" PROTESTORS DO NOT "HATE AMERICA" — BUT I HAVE A LONG LIST OF SHITWEASELS WHO DO, AND YOU CAN READ ABOUT IT IN MY POWERFUL POST THAT NO ONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/43lAtYs

let’s start with those doughy incel pantloads who just got caught texting each other about how awesome Hitler and gas chambers and slavery are.

these unfuckable shitkazoos thought it would be fun to try to outdo each other in seeing who could post the vilest slurs about blacks, gays, Jews, women, immigrants and any number of marginalized groups.

ask any one of these ‘young Republicans’ if they love America, and they’d all sprain their necks nodding in agreement. well, guess what: you can’t claim to love America when you hate half the people who live in it.

oh, and here’s a pro tip: you can’t love America and Hitler at the same time. sorry, but that shit is incompatible. we had an actual war about this, remember? pick a fucking side.

Blatant lying is just how this admin operates. If Senator Murphy gets an answer at all, it will be more lies.

Important: Sen Chris Murphy just sent pointed questions to Kristi Noem about DHS's account of shooting of US citizen by Trump's paramilitary forces in Chicago. The official line is imploding. Murphy wants Noem to explain why DHS misled. More like this, Ds.

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged.

As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.
