Israelis are happy about this deal.
Palestinians are happy about this deal.
Jews are happy about this deal.
Arabs are happy about this deal.

The only people who aren't happy about this deal: white people who have made wearing a keffiyah their entire personality for two years.

Dear Speaker Mike Johnson,

We the PEOPLE think Congress, especially those of us you TARGET, should have WORK REQUIREMENTS. Since you have sent everyone home since 9/19 (last time House was in session) it should be retroactive for any member NOT in the chamber.

Fondly,
AMERICA

PS YOU WORK FOR US!😡

That’s not how you science.

Tweet from Republicans Against Trump says: “RFK Jr: There’s no proof that Tylenol causes autism. We’re doing the studies to make the proof.” Below is a photo of a White House meeting showing RFK Jr., Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump at a long conference table.

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."

He wasn’t going to.

Did he get a military medal by saying to a top general

“I know I had bone spurs but, can I get the medal anyway?”

It’s about time some red state governors said this!

Tweet from Home of the Brave: “Oklahoma’s Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt criticizes Trump for sending the Texas National Guard to Illinois,” followed by Stitt’s quote about states’ rights and federalism. Below is a photo of Stitt sitting in his office with an American flag behind him.

The thing abt Krasnov gifting Qatar a military airbase on US soil is:

Krasnov is at Walter Reed not getting his yearly check up.

Krasnov did not win the Nobel Peace 🏆 as compelling as zip-tying kids & shooting a pastor in the head w pepper balls is.

AND

KRASNOV IS ALL OVER THE EPSTEIN FILES.
