Trump on video: “I don’t care what Tulsi Gabbard says!”
Trump WH hours later: The fake news media is trying to cause division in the our team with their lies and false reports. The president has complete confidence in his outstanding DNI.

I’m fascinated that several Waymo taxis were essentially the only cars burned, forcing them to shut down service. Tesla rolls out their self-driving taxis this month. Coincidence?

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

“El Salvador is far away, and won’t effect me. It’s not happening in the US…” Wrong! Trump publicly says he wants more prisons built in El Salvador to send “home growns” (citizens) there, with no legal rights or due process. YOUR family, neighbors, and friends??

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.
