Another POS from TexASS. He better heed his own threats. Its his party he describes here. Not the liberals. Texas AG Ken Paxton announces ‘undercover’ investigations into liberals www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Texas AG Ken Paxton announces ‘undercover’ investigations into liberals

The GOP Senate candidate’s announcement of the probes targeting liberals is modeled after Donald Trump’s authoritarian attacks.

Welcome to the Unified States of Trumplandia. All hail Dumpy the Great!

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

@timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

This one of the scariest things I've heard. There is no Antifa, but they have so far arrested the girlfriend of the "head' of Antifa in PDX. They are connecting Antifa & trans violence.

Antifa is not an organization...#47, Bondi, Patel, Noem, etc. are all gaslighting the public... they're all lying of course.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

This is a very bad idea. There is no reason for this that makes any sense. I guess that plane was more expensive than we thought.

All of Trumps Little Anarchists are paid. By ICE. Via US taxpayers. Can we get a refund and return?
