This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.

Imagine, for a moment, if there was an FBI tape of Hunter Biden accepting $50,000 dollars as a bribe in a Cava bag?

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

If the National Guard has been deployed to protect Federal property then they should not be allowed anywhere but at that property.

Anything more than that is incitement.

Soon it will be show us your papers. This must stop.

A tweet by James Surowiecki replying to David J. Bier. Surowiecki asks, “Where in the Immigration and Nationality Act does it say that US citizens have to prove that they're citizens or else be arrested?” The quoted tweet by Bier reads, “ICE agents to US citizen: Turn around or you're getting the dog,” accompanied by a photo of a man wearing a face mask and standing near vehicles at night.

Palle! @palleh.bsky.social · 1d

I don't get the determination to make Columbus relevant to US history. He never set foot on US soil. He "discovered" a place where millions of people lived and vikings and Irish fishermen knew about. He thought he visited India until his deathbed. His contemporaries considered him a violent weirdo.

I don’t know who I’ll be supporting for the Democratic nominee for 2028. I’m doubtful there will be another free and fair election in my lifetime. In the meantime, I’ll be enjoying Newsom’s trolling to the absolute max.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

JFC people, they’re going to do it. That’s what all this militarization is all about. Buckle up.

If you were loud for Jimmy Kimmel, crank it up for Letitia James.
Authoritarian bullies count on silence to get away with it; make some noise and have her back!

I think the only thing Chief Justice John Roberts and I both enjoy is a gay dinner party on Martha's Vineyard. Glory!

People are really overreacting to us building the Qataris an air base in Idaho. It’s only there for defensive reasons in case Montana or Wyoming invade them.
