Jacqueline Sweet @jsweetli.bsky.social · 7h

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

Everyone do what they want, “you be you,” but my humble hope is that as many people as possible carry American flags to the Oct. 18 rally. That will make for the images that will most infuriate the Republicans and best sway the moderates.

This guy sounds awesome! He knows about TikTok videos and babies in placentas! Someone should put him in charge of our country’s medical policy!

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 1d

"Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman eight months pregnant—she is an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School—and she is saying 'eff Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta."

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

Leavitt: "The financial backing of these groups, particularly Antifa, is certainly something the administration is looking into aggressively ... we're kinda kickstarting that into gear. The FBI is working on it alongside the White House's homeland security task force."
