The same pedophile Nazis, murdering peasant fisherman in Venezuela are the same demons flying Blackhawk helicopters in the skies of Chicago and Portland.
Putin’s pedophiles are on the march and it’s truly disgusting. 💩 #EpsteinsEnforcers

Whenever I see a republican, all I can think about is how they murder peasant fishermen for trying to feed their families in Venezuela.
There’s nothing more demonic than a supporter of the GOP. 💩

As I previously said, the Trump Administration’s actions in the Caribbean Sea are illegal and unconstitutional.

Today’s military assault off of the coast of Venezuela is just the next in a series of criminal acts committed by President Trump and Secretary Hegseth.

Trump continues to order the murder of alleged drug traffickers off the coast of Venezuela. This is not war. This isn’t even plausibly war. This is the president playing judge, jury, and executioner of foreign civilians.

The United States struck another small boat accused of carrying drugs in the waters off Venezuela, killing six people, Trump said Tuesday.

It is a very short step from the military killing alleged drug traffickers off the coast of Venezuela to the military, ICE, or others killing people inside the US for crimes, real or imagined, as directed by the president.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

Tweet from MeidasTouch: “Wow that’s crazy. Who’s running the federal government?”
Below, Acyn’s tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: “If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don’t see that it’s being done well.”
A C-SPAN screenshot shows Johnson speaking with another man standing beside him.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

This arrest appears to be in direct violation of a temporary restraining order prohibiting DHS officers from arresting journalists. The officers here may well be subject to contempt of court. protectdemocracy.org/wp-content/u...
