It's funny that "Trump faked his assassination" is becoming a somewhat bipartisan niche conspiracy theory

This is a generational impoverishment.
I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Republicans are purposely and strategically incompetent on antiterror; they hope for violent attacks they can frame as terrorist, to justify accelerating the terrorist violence they’re already enacting against the US civilian population.
2/ nor can we forget Thomas Fugate, the 22 year old Trump campaign worked appointed as the lead counter terrorism coordinator at DHS.

Analysis of satellite data by Yale's Humanitarian Research Lab has found no evidence of civilian life in al-Fashir. It concludes that all 250k civilians who remained at the time of its fall to the RSF have either fled, are hiding, or have been killed.

One of the shocking things about becoming pregnant for the first time was how much the attitude of the baby's other parent, who pushed me to continue the pregnancy when I was hesitant, flipped to absolute contempt for me as a person and the palpable disappointment that I lived through the ordeal
Were more than happy to let their own children die than accede to the idea that a doctor might know more than they do.
More importantly, making sure that children aren't vaccinated is a way to demonstrate absolute power. Your wife may be able to give life, but you, the almighty man, can take it.

People in the U.S. need to be paying attention to what’s happening in the U.K., because it’s going hand in hand with what is happening in the U.S., the agitators at work on both sides of the pond are working hand in hand with each other, and both have similar goals of ethnic cleansing.

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)
And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.
This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail
