Klippenstein: To what extent it’s going to activate what are called Joint Terrorism Task Forces?

The military is really limited in terms of what they can do.

But these Joint Terrorism Task Forces don’t have those limitations. They can do and go places the military can’t.

Klippenstein: The memo says it considers as indicators things like anti-Christian sentiment, anti-government views, and anti-traditional family positions.

These are descriptors that would cover millions and millions of people in this country.

Parnas: A lot of people are saying this idea that, well, Graham Platner hasn’t won statewide, and Janet Mills has.

Platner: We have a number of excellent senators who had never run for office or won a statewide race before.

That’s an argument the establishment makes to protect itself

When a democratic candidate runs for office now, they have run against two different democratic parties. One is bringing fresh ideas & positive change. One is the same old same old. The same one that elected Fetterman,Manchin & Sinema.

for over four months I’ve reported as Trump has put troops and federal agents in cities across America. more than ever I’m seeing and hearing from people pushing back — standing up for immigrants, democracy and members of our military who don’t want this.

Basically the entire US government is now dedicated to just doing two things (1) making Trump feel important (2) making Trump Family insanely rich.

This guy is involved in a coverup protecting sex traffickers of teenage girls as young as 14. This guy is collecting his paycheck, while refusing to pay federal employees. Spare me your BS, Scalise.

Not quite sure I’ve ever seen politicians totally ignore the needs of their constituents more than republicans at this moment. They promised lower prices. What’s their focus, Nobel Peace Prize for Trump. They have 0 respect for the American people.

This new Pentagon press policy is not good for our press or our military.

And I’m saying that as a former soldier who knows the importance of a free press.

Locking Down the Pentagon Press Is Dangerous

Pete Hegseth’s proposed restrictions would harm the people whom both the military and the press are meant to serve.

Which Republican genius came up with the talking point to label millions of ordinary Americans peacefully protesting their government as paid Marxists who hate America?

That’s really what you are going with?

That we hate the United States of America?

Fuck you.
