That stupid MAGA girl, Tomi Lahren, says Bad Bunny isn’t American. 🙄

Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is Puerto Rican. He’s 31 yrs old, born in 1994.

Puerto Rico has been a U.S. territory since 1898 & Puerto Ricans have been Americans since 1917.

It's hilarious that the same people who claim that their families never owned slaves and their family came here as immigrants get upset when someone posts the truth about America's racist & violent past.

Why do they agree to erase history they had nothing to do with? 🤔

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

Sure, many countries were having issues getting back to normal after covid, but one country in particular really started to go off the rails after the narcissist came down the escalator. It started with the lies and grew to what it is today, oppression, terror, ridiculous exergerations etc etc.

He is being celebrated in Israel while he fires government workers in America. His "Big Beautiful Billionaire Bill" because it makes them richer. His need for adulation and reconization is pathetic.

Ballroom being built at the WH. Vanity memorial being planned for DC. $20 billion for Argentina. $1 trillion for Trump's private army. Soy farmers out of business, prices going up, health premiums about to explode, job market going to the dogs.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Republicans own this shutdown—every job lost, every family hurt, every service gutted is because of their decisions.

A tweet from Russ Vought reads: "The RIFs have begun."

It's not just those on medicaid but also government workers who need to know you have their backs. They want assurances. The Democrats will reverse firings and contest any illegal firings in court.

Don't allow ICE to bait you. They want a reason to put down an insurrection they instigated. Some of these ICE could be from the group that maga pardoned for Jan 6.

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.  As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

Don’t you love the way Trump can post violent AI videos of people attacking Joe Biden or Democrats and Republicans are fine with it. But if a Democrat has a private text message in which he says something similar, all hell breaks loose.

Democrats, don’t fall for it.

Odd how deliberate maga wants others to think they are the wrong doers while they are committing the very thing they accuse others of.

Narcissist struggle to give credit to others, accept their failures, the truth about their actions, and their true capacity for healthy relationships. Their inflated sense of self-importance, lack of empathy, and fragile ego, leading to defensive behaviors like lying, denial, blame, or gaslighting.

I remember when the GOP & right-wing hacks accused all Muslims of being Qatari agents & anyone who worked at Al Jazeera English or AJAM of being terrorists and extremists.

So, what does that make Donald Trump, who accepted a $400 million jet from them & now is letting them build a base on US soil?
