Also, would love a snoop at their browsing histories 👀

The No Kings rallies have been peaceful. But when was there ever a protest with violence in Washington, DC? I'm racking my brain on that one....Oh yeah, when YOUR people showed up to overturn an election, beat up cops, and threatened Dem. and Repub. legislators. Trump pardoned all those thugs.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

The irony and the hypocrisy:
Texas has a bigger violent crime problem than Illinois, with a violent crime rate of 389 offenses per 100,000 people in 2024 compared to Illinois' rate of 289 offenses per 100,000 people. Recent studies also rank Texas as 48th out of 50 states for overall safety. .

The people will boot you from your office, Mike “Moses” Johnson. May your party wander in a political desert long after.

A screenshot of two X posts and a news broadcast image. The first post by @GavinNe
... (6h ago) reads: "Translation: 'We're desperately trying to rig the midterms. Our policies are so unpopular, it's our only option left.'" The second post by @Acyn
(7h ago) reads: "Johnson: We're going win the midterms. Imagine if Democrats took over the house, they'd impeach him," with an attached image of a news broadcast from "The Ingraham Angle" on Fox News, featuring a man in a suit speaking, with the text "IT'S ALWAYS UP UNTIL THEN GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN" and a timestamp of 6:27 CT.
