Thanks! I don't feel silenced since my books are bestsellers, but people who *just* figured out this information really should not be covering Trump. All of the evidence was, as the book says, Hiding in Plain Sight.

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him.

A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

If we flew the American flag at half-mast for every murder of an American who deserved better, who deserved to be heard and respected and live in peace, we’d never raise the flag to its full height again.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

What an obscenely terrible headline.

I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted.

The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

What you're seeing in LA is the authoritarian playbook in action, yes, but guess what the next chapter is: that kind of aggression stays inside the country's borders. Pretty soon, it has to be channeled outward. Invasion, war. It's coming—and sooner than you think.

Just because a guy tweets he’s opposed to a bill that would devastate millions of Americans—does not absolve him from dismantling vital programs, shattering thousands of lives, stealing our data, and breaking the law. Now is not the time to let up the fight in defending our democracy.

Many of the people who voted for America's political disaster are paying no attention to the unfolding disaster. They don't follow the news. They think the libs are getting owned and that's enough for them. They're clueless about the damage they've done to everyone, including themselves.
