The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

There is no way an Arab government will be allowed to put a foreign military base next to the state that is a major military contractor of airplanes

Friday night Tequila tweet: I’m so fucking sick of how divisive Trump & his people are. Here she is, using her official government office for political/partisan purposes. To trash Democrats. It’s wrong, it’s illegal, & it’s a really shitty thing to do. I’m fucking sick of them trying to divide us.

The cost of homeowners and auto insurance in FL is insane, but Republicans are always laser focused on the important distractions from all that stuff.

Benny Johnson is a well known plagiarist, grifter, & Christian nationalist who was being paid by Russia - to the tune of well over a $100,000 a month - to push Russian propaganda on the American people - the perfect bio for a MAGA influencer. We no longer have a Justice Department.👇

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Building a military base in Idaho for an ARAB COUNTRY is insane. Seattle’s Boeing production plants are short flight away. Boeing is a government military contractor.
