Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa
by Arnold Lobel

Public health is not partisan. It is health for the public.

🚨 Do ICE have MRE provisions? Oh, no. That’s a damn shame. All that income and no place to buy a meal. Hey, I know what they can eat… 1/2

Good night, friends.
Tonight was deeply painful.

We at CDC do this work because we care.
It’s long hours, often feeling overworked and not enough pay, but we do it because we want to make the world a better place.

No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

So greasy fascist lunatic Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg may be the Antichrist?

Guess whose name appears in the Epstein Files that have been released, Peter? No hers. Yours!

So that, technically, makes you more evil than the Antichrist.

[Excerpt:] Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg & critics of tech or AI are “legionnaires of the Antichrist” in private lectures on Christianity that linked government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future.

Inside billionaire Peter Thiel’s private lectures: Warnings of ‘the Antichrist’ and U.S. destruction

In leaked recordings of private lectures by tech billionaire Peter Thiel he argued that “the Antichrist” is likely to take the form of a critic of technology.
