It’s hard to overstate how grotesque is the prosecution of Letitia James. I hope John Roberts—who unleashed this malignant, vengeful career criminal on our beloved country—is enjoying Trump’s utter abuse of power and trashing of justice and the rule of law.

I think we've seen this before...

Create the crisis, prolong the suffering, blame the opposition, watch the suffering, grab power to 'fix' the problem, then crown yourself the saviour, it is the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Stephen Miller should be laughed out of every room in the worst way possible.

He should never have a platform. Never stand at a podium. Never have a microphone or camera in his face.

FUCK STEPHEN MILLER

Unelected bureaucrat Miller is pulling all the strings and is wreaking untold hate, racism and violence to America and its people! And he’s always been terrible!

IF HIS TAX RETURNS DIDN'T EXPOSE CRIMES, THEY'D BE PUBLIC.

IF THE PUTIN TRANSCRIPTS DIDN'T REVEAL TREASON, WE'D HAVE THEM.

IF THE WH VISITOR LOGS
DIDN'T PROVE
CORRUPTION, HE'D HAVE LEAKED THEM HIMSELF.

AND IF THE EPSTEIN LIST DIDN'T IMPLICATE HIM, HE'D HAVE ALREADY WEAPONIZED IT!

The President of the United States ordered the military to fire on U.S. citizens because he was watching years-old B reel on Fox News, then promised everyone sci-fi medbed cards.

And the cowards and ghouls in the GOP just sit there instead of invoking the 25th & wheeling him out in a straitjacket.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

79-year-old US citizen & business owner in Van Nuys, CA, was slammed to the ground *twice* by masked ICE agents. He was just asking for his employees to be allowed to retrieve papers proving they're legal immigrants. He suffered multiple rib fractures & a head injury w/ possible brain damage.

Trump posts this AI video on Truth Social tonight where he has Schumer saying that Democrats are all “woke pieces of shit.”

I guess the hat means Jeffries is a migrant or something.
