Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 3d

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"
