Meanwhile, police departments across the country are reporting that No Kings protesters had zero arrests. Incredible job, everyone! It’s becoming impossible for Trump to sell his propaganda.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

"Chuck Schumer shut the government down." THAT IS A BOLD FACED LIE.

The Republicans control all three branches of govt and yet can't control the Democrats. We The People don't currently have the power to turn congress on and off. Schumer doesn't.

Mike Johnson could make one phone call!

This is sick. Several of the MS13 gang members Trump traded to Bukele so he could have access to CECOT prison for deportees were actually COOPERATORS with law enforcement. He betrayed them. wapo.st/4nbNiM4

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

January 6 were DOMESTIC terrorists. In 2016 Putin put them in the oval office. In 2024 Musk has put them back into the oval office.

You’ll notice that no one at No Kings marches throughout the country tried to storm state Capitols nor did they try to smear their shit on any walls, just people saying fuck no to a fascist criminally indicted felon and his Nazi/Hitler agenda.
