Elon Musk is using Twitter to call for the National Guard shooter to be “hanged without delay”.

He says where there’s premeditated murder, punishment must be swift.

He knew cutting USAID would kill people.

He did it anyways.

600,000 people have died.

What’s his punishment?

🔥 Jasmine Crockett exposed the whole scheme.

Kristi Noem filmed propaganda while shoveling taxpayer money to her own political network. Millions funneled through her political circle into the same pockets.

Corruption at full volume.

Hmmmmm???

It isn’t like Shitler made news recently about threatening to bomb the country.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Meiselas: This guy's a con artist. He's a fraud. He's quite literally a criminal. A felon. He lies. He destroys people's lives. He's a rug puller. 'Look, $23 trillion! Dividend checks are right around the corner! I'm gonna make you so rich!'

It is demented and it is manipulative and it is abusive.

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"

Republicans can always be counted upon for making up ridiculous nonsense, but their claim that Americans need to be PAID by George Soros to show disapproval of Donald Trump is so shamelessly ludicrous. We gladly and eagerly hate him for free. And are willing to take the streets and parks to show it.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Clearly Trump lied when he said his $250 million ballroom wouldn’t “interfere” with the White House.

So who’s watching this mess; the White House Historical Association or the Office of the Curator? Because someone needs to make sure he’s not bulldozing history for a dance floor.

Apparently, the testimony of 40 minors was not enough to convince then U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta (later a Trump appointee) to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein.

This is one of the biggest cover-ups of our generation. @oversightdemocrats.house.gov won't stop until the truth comes to light.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

In an extraordinary move to counter Republican redistricting in Texas, roughly 30 Democrats in the state House are heading to Chicago today to deny a necessary quorum for the GOP to move forward with those efforts. They plan to stay for the week, in a plan brokered with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

Your Sunday evening reminder that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked real human beings, many children, explicitly to sexually abuse and rape them.
Also, release the Epstein files.

I want to make clear from this that victims absolutely should be believed. I support them 100%.

At the same time, there is an entire part of this that is financial, and people involved whom they never met.

THOSE are the records they're hiding.

And victims likely don't ever have access to that.
Y'all know they're never going to release anything from the Epstein files that would actually implicate any powerful people. They'll just take that out, redact it, or make some bullshit up.

What we NEED is a whistleblower to release ALL OF IT.

Donald Trump talked a big game on the economy, promising a new “Golden Era.”

But unemployment is up.

Economic growth has slowed.

Inflation is increasing.

This is the ugly reality of Trump’s economy.
