It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Federal agents are committing state felonies every day. Breaking and entering. Kidnapping. Assault. When they kick down doors without judicial warrants, when they detain citizens without probable cause, when they point guns at children, these are crimes under state law.

Abbott never manages appropriate response to TX disasters, natural or otherwise. He stays otherwise occupied. Check notes

No difference today🤨🙄🙃

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 22m

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Read Lisa Graves book- Without Precedent. She details John Roberts decades long corruption going back to the south Florida riot that stopped the voting in Bush v Gore election. Also, Kavanaugh and Barrett have been right there all along on every decision to unravel democracy.

Why are only Pritzker and Newsom talking about this?

It’s so obvious that the midterms will be rigged to high heaven just like the 2024 election was. And if by some miracle Dems still come out on top, they will 1000% steal it in some way like they tried in 2020.

So, Trump clearly doesn't like it when others take severe actions on product exchange. Clearly, Trump's reaction is "knee-jerk" as he doesn't seem to recall %tariffs he already imposed on China ___+100%(whatever they already have🙄)

Hypocritical narcissists never like acts such as what they do🤨

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.
