it's wild to watch this happening in a situation where we've had no prior military engagements with the country or recent attack to even drum up a public desire for vengeance. nothing at all is going down but Trump is clearly trying to push Iraq 2.0 on the country.

Cultist defends cult leader's death threats to Dems.
Mike Johnson just defended Trump when asked about responsibility for toning down dangerous rhetoric:
"I don't think you can put the blame on the president for any of that."

I have long said people don't be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts as much as they should be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts
“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.”
This all on the leader of the MAGA #scotus ↘️

It’s been 6 weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election.
Mike Johnson won’t swear her in & is dragging out the longest shutdown in history.
Congress is being paid.
They’re getting top of the line healthcare.
They’re not going hungry.
Yet they refuse to do their job.
Swear her in now.
