Trump issues an order for the arrest and criminal prosecution of members of Congress who made a video reminding soldiers and sailors that they swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States and shouldn't implement illegal orders. Trump's conduct is unabashed fascism.

This!
I think more members of Congress should do ads telling federal employees not to do illegal shit. Get the ones with law degrees out there saying, “We’ll prosecute your ass when Trump is gone if you crime for him.”

Oh. Constructive purpose. Post have to have a constructive purpose on this platform, do they?
And who decides what is and is not "constructive?"
Yeah, I don't think I'll be posting much here anymore.

Paramount Global, CBS, and 60 Minutes literally sold their credibility and their integrity for CEO bonuses and shareholder value. Trump rubbed their noses in their own shit last night and they sat there and took it, because the Press has been a collaborator with Trump from the beginning.

I'm not a Nobel winning economist, but it seems to me the world's largest retailer and the worlds largest delivery services laying off hundreds of thousands right before the busiest retail and delivery season of the year is perhaps not an optimistic indicator of Trump's promised "Golden Age"

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.
If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.
So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”
Because that IS what they are going to say.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

The Speaker of the House calling peaceful American protestors terrorists is not going to end well for democracy.
What a despicable little man who is lying through his teeth to try to incite violence against Americans who will be peacefully assembling to protest the Trump regime’s anti-democratic rule.
Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to be kidnapped off the street and beaten by masked goons cosplaying as ICE agents than you are to be assaulted by an immigrant.

Another American citizen beaten, taken to the hospital, then a detention center by the American Gestapo.
A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation.
She is heard screaming: "Let me go! I am an American! I was born here!"

We are bailing out Argentina while Argentina’s farmers sell soybeans to China in the place of American farmers which is putting them out of business, so now we also have to bail out American farmers while Argentinian farmers make bank.

The American Gestapo continue their attacks on civilians. 😡
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

So, you claim to be a Christian AND support Charlie Kirk’s beliefs?
Charlie Kirk has left a hateful, dehumanizing legacy of words that Conservative Christians are either choosing to ignore in their zeal to canonize him, or they simply share his racist, phobic, misogynist, Islamophobic, antisemitic, supremacist sentiments.

Yup. You got it right.
The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Even more footage of our American Gestapo in action.
She runs a large anti-ICE TikTok account—now agents caught on livestream targeting her in violent arrest.
Agents drag her out of Tesla & throw her on ground where she lay unresponsive—then rushed by ambulance to hospital.
She is well-known to ICE as community activist who films raids Los Angeles.

📽️ WATCH: Student Kenneth Santizo captured ICE and FBI officers stopping a family on their way to church in the Boston suburbs.
Agents broke the window, forced Daniel Flores-Martinez to his knees and slammed him to the ground while his children and his wife, a U.S. citizen, sobbed in the car.

American Gestapo in action this past week. I can’t imagine actual law enforcement officers wearing sneakers.
NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby.
This was at 14th & R in Washington DC, this morning (Sunday).
What the hell is happening to the US?

With the knowledge that 47% of Republican voters would support known pedophiles it becomes clear why they are also opposed to abortion.
A survey conducted in late July found that 47% of Republican voters said Trump being implicated in Epstein's criminal activities would not affect their vote:
47% of Republicans would still vote for Trump even if implicated in Epstein's crimes, survey found
A majority of GOP voters said they would either stand by Trump or weren't sure, even if he were officially linked to the late sex offender's crimes.
