This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

1/2 🧵What Trump does NOT want you to know is that the claim Lakanwal (the alleged shooter of two National Guardsmen)…who entered the U.S. in 2021 and was “granted asylum” in April 2025 under the Trump administration appears to be true and is also being widely reported.

Just a reminder:

The night Epstein "committed suicide".

-He was on suicide watch.
-The guards "fell asleep" and failed to complete more than 75 mandatory checks on him.
-The cameras monitoring him "stopped working"
-Prosecuting the guards was "deferred"

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

The FBI redirected lots of agents to work on deporting people who came to the U.S. illegally, but who were not involved in separate criminal activity.

Perhaps if they'd been working on terrorism and violence cases, the two National Guard agents would not have been shot.

Trumputin was responsible for the shooting of 2 National Guard officers in DC. It was HIS government that signed off on the shooter’s right to stay in the US. It was also HIM that put the NG there for no good reason.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.
