Trump’s masked gestapo just shoved a Common Defense member and Air Force veteran to the ground and arrested him for peacefully protesting in Illinois.
The lawlessness of this regime must end — and he must be released immediately!

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

A new era of government censorship has begun.
It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself

Today, the children at Annunciation Catholic School were shot while praying. Two were killed in the pews.
Thoughts and prayers are NOT enough. We need immediate and comprehensive gun safety laws. That’s what saves lives.

Every psycho cop is going to copy ICE now. Police oversight boards, city councils, county commissions, mayors and county executives should have zero tolerance for this behavior. Fired and straight to jail for the perpetrators.

An independent evaluation of who gets what from the Republican tax bill just dropped, and wow.
This chart shows only the tax cut side of things, and they only find the rich. The spending cuts, which are separate, somehow only find the poor.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Trump is golfing. Musk quit. Patel is at NBA games. Now, Bongino is crying on TV about having to govern. These guys are fascists, but thankfully, they're completely unserious about it.
Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard."
