Trump was POTUS on J6.

It was Trump’s FBI.

Biden’s win had not even been certified yet.

Trump’s lies are beyond insane.

2) No need for the National Guard in Mississippi? This administration sends the guard to states because of crime, but never mentions guns. Weird

Mississippi

Mississippi has among the weakest gun laws in the country.

They rig maps & silence voters.

They rip away freedoms we fought and bled for.

They try to silence voices on national TV.

This is dictatorship in action.

On October 18, we rise to remind the world: America has #NoKings

Trump is trying to rule like a king. Sending masked agents into our cities. Targeting immigrant families. Terrorizing our communities.

But this country does not belong to kings or dictators. It belongs to us.

On October 18, we rise to say #NoKings !

Trump announces he's putting a bajillion percent tariff on China

It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.

Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.

It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

Sigh. Once again, the idea that Biden “opened the border” is such nonsense. And the idea that the Trump admin is just focusing on “bad guys” is an even worse fiction.

Julie DiCaro @juliedicaro.bsky.social · 3d

Here's their brief:

www.courtlistener.com/docket/71559...

For the past four years, illegal open-border immigration policies flooded the country with
illegal aliens, including criminals convicted of crimes in their home country, violent international
gang members, and suspected ISIS terrorists. Much of that was done in violation of federal
immigration law through the assertion of executive enforcement prerogatives. Now, President
Trump is executing Congress’s dictates and enforcing federal immigration law—which includes
valiant efforts by federal law enforcement to identify and deport alien criminals. Against that
backdrop of law enforcement, activists began to gather in cities across the United States, including
Chicago. But rather than protest peacefully, some of those protests became violent, threatening
federal officers, harming federal property, and certainly impeding enforcement of federal law.
President Trump’s deployment of a small number of National Guard members to defend against
this lawlessness is responsible, constitutional, and authorized by statute.
