Hello everyone.

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Thanks for your attention.

But he's not demented.
He's called the Democrats the "enemy within" so many times now, he believes Democrats will use tomahawk missiles.

No, really, read that again. This is how advanced his dementia is right now and nobody's talking about it.

He has the nuclear launch codes.

Trump to Milei: "Do you need any Tomahawks in Argentina? You need them for your opposition, I guess, because in this country they use Tomahawks on the opposition. I don't do that. I'm much nicer. The Democrats would use them if they had the chance. They're sick people."

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

The Trump admin trying to incite violence is super cringey because everyone knows that’s what they’re doing. Picture future historians watching that monotone dimwit Kristi Noem get clowned by a city in frog costumes while pretending it’s a war zone. We’re in the dumbest timeline.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

How about 12 million Americans protesting on Saturday. That’s 3.5 percent of our population…and the beginning of a real response to the authoritarian disease.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

NEW: Texas Republicans spent nine days in court proclaiming they didn’t discriminate against minorities when drawing the state’s new congressional map. Yet they also desperately fought tooth and nail to hide the details of their mapmaking process. Here’s everything we learned👇

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."
