![@paleofuture.bsky.social: Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump."
AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

So MSNBC reportedly fired Matthew Dowd tonight just hours after Jesse Watters called for his "immediate" termination over his Charlie Kirk shooting comments.
Meanwhile, Watters said he's going to "avenge" Kirk's death because "they are at war with us" -- and he'll face no repercussions from Fox.

This is Patty Hartman, a 17 year veteran of the Justice Department. She was fired on Monday by Pam Bondi. She is warning of a wave of retribution inside the agency. You must hear her words for yourself.

The Cato paper ignores all this. Instead, it clings to a comforting idea, that “more speech” will fix everything. That if everyone just talks freely, the truth will rise to the top. That was never quite true. And today, it’s a fantasy.

If Joe Biden had sent a bunch of masked goons to kidnap and deport persecuted Christians who had fled to America for religious freedom, I'm pretty sure Mike Johnson's head would explode Scanners-style.
I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful.
Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood.
We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?
