Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

So if I got this right—the people insisting we had to take out Maduro because he murders his own people, insisting on Iranian regime change because it murders its own people, now unquestionably obey Trump as he murders his own people?🤔
This is what a cult looks like.

One thing Dems could do is go on TV (including Fox) and say that Trump's legacy (which is all he really cares about) will forever be tainted by what he's ordering DHS to do. No one will celebrate him and all of his tributes to himself will be burned to the ground. Let him think about that.

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!
![A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says:
Dear [REDACTED],
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes:
• Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation".
• Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23.
• Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice.
And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win.
She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security.
Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ats4shmeia7i7ildqm3denmd/bafkreie3alhaaxwvbtdqtff5io2igfu3enefx2j6gqh7ja6rqu4une3etq@jpeg)

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

The House voted 308 to 122 for the GENIUS Act, the corrupt crypto industry bill to set the stage for the next financial crisis, encourage money laundering, and bless Trump's corruption.
102 Democrats voted yes, including 4 out of the 5 memberships of House Dems's Leadership Team.
