I'm personally offended...on behalf of George, from George's pond

George doesn't believe in using wildlife to scare innocent people on behalf of racist bullies
This is George, a beautiful alligator, semi-submerged in his favorite pond, surrounded by lovely swamp plants

A screen capture of an exhibit in the response that reads: "dangerous conditions for both the officers and crowd. One protestor attempt to stop a law enforcement van's progression by standing directly in front of the van and placing his hand on the vehicle's hood. The man also backpedaled in front of the departing SUV, then tripped and fell in front of the vehicle. Fortunately, the driver"

*munching popcorn*
Two Trump Truth social posts "The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!" And "Elon was "wearing thin," I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!"

First of all, what an absolutely bonkers Easter message.

Secondly, the push for due process and to return Abrego Garcia (and others) from El Salvador and prevent any other Unconstitutional actions on migration IS WORKING.

Trump and Repubs know they're wrong. Keep it up.

I told you they were know-nothing script kiddies
Screenshot of X DOGE account with The @USGSA IT team just saved $1M per year by converting 14,000 magnetic tapes (70 yr old technology for information storage) to permanent modern digital records Readers context note reads Despite its age, magnetic tape is still highly favorable for long-term, static data archives. It offers cost-effectiveness (cheaper than disk/cloud), longevity (outlasts disk drives), offline security (resists cyber threads), and high capacity (up to 50TB per tape).
