Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

Just a deep, dark cesspool of corruption like we’ve never seen before in US history at every single agency and level of government. Republicans in Congress continue to ignore all of it and if people still care about having a Republic they will vote them out as soon as they can.

🚨 Leader Jeffries is ALL out of f*cks:

"If Trump can find $20B to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about the healthcare crisis that they've created."

This is all about Barron, as is the autism stuff. It kills him to have a special needs son (you could argue he actually has three).

Ah, yes, the double standard.

Kids do edgy things like saying "I love Hitler." Just ignore it.

Oh, also, my admin is getting people fired and pulling their visas for saying mean things about Charlie Kirk.

Someone should ask Vance why its only the shitheads who support him who get to be "edgy"

Yes. They must have info that the protests will be huge. They’re also trying to justify an over the top police response in advance. Be careful out there.

With the original post now that it's deleted for some reason:

The above post, but instead of it quote-tweeting a deleted tweet, the tweet is visible--A tweet from The Bulwark with a video of JD Vance.

Text:
Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys -- they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,
