I still love my country. I hate the Republicans and their fucking bullshit propaganda. Emmer would do well to remember there will be comeuppance eventually. He’s not built for prison.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen.bsky.social · 14h

Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.
