Dem Rep. Adelita Grijalva is fearless. Something she proved by taking on Trump and Mike Johnson.

But when coming face to face with Trump’s abusive ICE agents, Grijalva took things to a whole new level. Despite being pushed around and pepper-sprayed, she still pressed forward.

Elon Musk shares the Russian govt’s goals in Europe, and uses his platform to advance them, with Musk’s motive anti-democracy white nationalism.

The current US govt shares Russia’s goals in Europe, and published a National Security Strategy explaining the reason is anti-democracy white nationalism.
This is so perfect. No one have any doubts at this point about what Elon Musk really represents.

I spent two years in the Trump administration. During that time, I saw how the president handled national security decisions. One of my biggest takeaways was this:

He fantasized regularly about maiming & killing unarmed civilians. Actually.

The president posted/reposted more than 100 times last night from 7:20 pm to midnight, attacking Democrats and immigrants, pushing conspiracy theories (including from Alex Jones), proudly sharing the video when he called a woman reporter “stupid,” and much more. Wild stuff.

Trump is pardoning a convicted cartel kingpin, with an ex-president title, while bombing boats in Venezuela in the name of fighting cartels.

We are living in the stupidest era imaginable.
Markwayne Mullin defends Trump pardoning Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking: "What the president is doing is always calculated. I haven't had a direct conversation with the president about it, but I do trust his natural reaction and his approach to foreign affairs."

The only reason to go kill the survivors and lie about it is because you knew the boat wasn’t carrying drugs
5/ Administration explanation to Congress seems to be a bold-face falsehood: claiming double-tap strike was to clear debris, not to kill survivors.

"That explanation has prompted frustration among some members of Congress who say they believe the Pentagon was deceptive."
