GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.

Here’s my response:

Think that $20B that went to Argentina should have fed hungry Americans? Phone your congressman/woman.

Just over 2% of the US population attended a No Kings event on 18 Oct. we are more than halfway to the 3.5% threshold that topples autocracies.

Charlie Kirk defended gun violence and stated that President Biden should receive the death penalty, but people are being fired from places that claim to celebrate freedom of speech (WAPO, universities, etc.) for pointing out Kirk’s hypocrisy. He had/has a lot of company.

With the “Golden Share” of Nippon Steel, Trump has made an official step into Socialism: “We have a golden share, which I control, or the president controls. Now I’m a little concerned whoever the president might be, but that gives you total control.”

How odd to find myself explaining to a young fisherman in Everglades National Park the various reasons he should not fish close to an American Crocodile.

When Trump bankrupted six companies and crashed a dozen others, apparently that was just for practice.

“You can’t make a good deal with a bad person.” Warning for any university, law firm, or nation considering appeasement.

“You have to trust the president’s instincts on the economy.” (Mike Johnson) Because Trump declared bankruptcy six times?

Marco Rubio ordered the abduction of his first political prisoner last week, a grad student who spoke in sympathy of starving Palestinians. Little Marco has come a long way - toward Fidel Castro. Calling all Ladies in White to step up here in America.

Citizen protest at Krome Detention Center in Miami, where a thousand people are imprisoned by ICE under inhumane conditions. Thumbs up & honks from nearly all driving by.

WTF Marco Rubio? Abducting and disappearing a harmless female student because your boss doesn’t like her political stance. That’s exactly the kind of communist Cuba style abuse that Marco Rubio has spoken out against throughout his political career. And now he is going full Castro himself?

Russia, if you are listening, can you please back up the data on Pete Hegseth’s private phone?

Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar just said that Musk should fire her for not doing her job.

Last year, Elon Musk fired the entire Tesla supercharger development team, then tried to hire them back. Why would he be any more careful with our government workers?

In case you were wondering, it’s still not safe to go back to the Washington Post. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/b...
Washington Post Cancels Ad From Groups Calling for Trump to Fire Musk
The newspaper told Common Cause, an advocacy group, that it was pulling its special ad, which would have covered the front and back pages of some Tuesday editions.

Google Maps turned off reviews on “Gulf of America” after users posted their dim opinions of CEO Sundar Pinchai selling out. Several friends have deleted the app.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed: “We froze foreign aid so we can review those programs.” Such an obvious lie; reviewing a program does not require freezing its funds. Rubio hasn’t lost his talent for sounding rational while defending immoral actions.
