Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

I’m interested in hearing from the MAGA pastors about Trump’s statement tonight that he wants to refuse to release emergency funds set aside to feed the poor despite a court order because the govt needs to “remain liquid” in case he needs that money to fight a war.

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion.
Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.
The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina.
Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.
I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not.
He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.
