Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

After Trump’s major losses yesterday, the White House says it’s preparing executive orders aimed at changing how U.S. elections are run, citing so-called “blatant fraud” as the reason. It’s clear they just can’t accept losing.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

Border Patrol & ICE operating under Trump regime directives have repeatedly attacked and detained US citizens violating their civil rights and human rights. Regime agents have also been caught falsifying reports, destroying evidence to cover up their actions. #3E 🧵

Dr. Susan Monarez, recently removed as director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the Trump administration is deliberately weakening the country’s public health and vaccine protections. This is a danger that should concern us all.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.
