I hadn't thought of that. Except for the Boise area, Idaho is militia & MAGA extremist central. Rich Muslim Arabs with fighter jets in their midst. How fun!

Sorry, puppy killer but we’re not buying it. The video of the incident doesn’t quite match up with your recollection. Senator Padilla never even came close to you let alone attack you. Enough of the lies.

More of our tax dollars wasted because Trump is butt hurt over his 34 felony indictments for crimes he ACTUALLY committed as opposed to these charges Pam Bondi made up against James. This is gonna get embarrassing when they have no evidence.

"The right loves the accounts, which often rail against supposed voter fraud.
They’re run by a Macedonian who illegally donated to a U.S. House candidate."

Yes indeed. MAGA doesn't care, even when they learn the truth.

Trump is following the authoritarian playbook to the letter. He plans to invoke the the insurrection act & normalize the deployment of troops to his enemies.

Books are still being banned, but most remain on shelves thanks to heroes who refuse to bow to censorship.

Librarians, teachers, students, and readers everywhere are keeping the flame of free expression alive.
Stand with them.

Reminder that this baseless indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is part of Donald Trump’s corrupt weaponization of the criminal justice system against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.

🧵Today, a 9th Circuit panel, including 2 Trump appointees, will hear arguments on whether Trump has unchecked power to deploy troops to U.S. cities. At issue: his attempt to send the National Guard to Portland, despite Judge Immergut (also Trump-appointed) ruling the move “untethered to the facts.”

The convicted felon is hellbent on sending the National Guard to peaceful U.S. cities. And yet, he NEVER lifted a finger to send the National Guard to the Capitol on January 6 when all hell was breaking loose.
