Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

This man holds office because Republican Senators (almost all of them) voted to confirm him earlier this year.

If that bothers you, let them know and remember it when they come up for re-election.

United States Congressman calls for the deportation of all Muslims from the US.

All Jewish groups should join together to denounce this.

Tweet from Congressman Randy Fine: "Muslims calling for the destruction of Israel — after the peace deal.

It was never about Gaza.

Why did the UK allow these demons in?

We must ban Sharia in the United States and deport them ALL before this becomes us.

Religion of peace."

While the definition of the word "weaponization" hasn't changed, the context in which it is used has. For any society to have effective communications, you need a standard definition as well as a stand context in which that word is used. Which is partly why we're not effectively communicating with

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom.bsky.social · 17h

One more time: As it’s not “weaponization of justice” for law enforcement to prosecute someone who committed crimes trying to rob a bank, it’s also not weaponization of justice for law enforcement to prosecute someone who committed crimes trying to overthrow an American election.

He's genuinely forgotten that he was the President on 1/6.

Fred Guttenberg @fredguttenberg.bsky.social · 20h

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

I hear there's a document that gives us all the RIGHT to peaceably assemble. Maybe Preacher Mike can help me identify this document! 🫤

He’s sounding as unhinged as his boss lately.

Tweet from Really American: “BREAKING: In an insane moment, the Speaker of the House frames the upcoming ‘No Kings’ protest march as a ‘Hate America’ event, irresponsibly calling folks who oppose fascism ‘pro-Hamas.’ We found that ‘violent rhetoric’ Republicans have criticized.”
Below, a screenshot from Fox News shows Rep. Mike Johnson speaking with the U.S. Capitol in the background.

My biggest fear is that Trump is going to do it first

When Dems take control. And they will, I hope they expand the SC. I was never for this at all. Trumps endless damage to the court has consequences, I think this is one of them.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/
