The first Swiss journalist to reach Gaza under the army of genocide lost his temper at the horror he witnessed, saying: “Humanity was destroyed here.”

We renew our call on international media and investigators to pressure the genocidal state to allow immediate access to Gaza.

In answer to bully Taco's 100% tariff threats on China.
Beijing replied,

'Wilful threats of high tariffs are not the right way to get along with China'
'We do not want it , but we are not afraid of it'.

OK, now release the trump-epstein files.

Everyone better start calling up their Congress members because Stephen Miller is trying to pass the Save Act again without Congress so loads of women won’t be allowed to vote because of them being married! We fought this earlier in the year and Congress didn’t pass it! 🤬

Someone should go to court and seek an injunction against applying the Insurrection Act until a) federal law enforcement has been in compliance with all court orders for 90 days, and b) previous unconstitutional behavior has been remedied.

ICE seeks an armed response.

The goal is to escalate so Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act.

Trump didn’t just instruct his cronies to look into Letitia James to see what they could rustle up. Instead, he twisted the entire federal government into a shape designed to produce the criminal indictment he demanded. Be shocked, if you still can be.

The Insidious Effort To Rationalize Trump’s Lawfare

This is not a president justified in going after those who went after him. It’s a person making a mockery of our justice system.

Per WSJ, the Trump regime and Bannon are bragging they’re “ruling Congress with an iron fist” and that it is “largely ceremonial” like the Russian Duma.

Shameful. Not what the founders intended. 🇺🇸 @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett @AndyOgles
