Oklahoma Gov. Stitt is the first Republican governor to oppose sending the Texas National Guard to Illinois.

"We believe in the federalist system — that’s states’ rights. Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration," he said.

MAGA wants to redefine anti-fascism so they can have a blanket term to "justify" murdering and kidnapping everyday Americans that question the Trump regime, call out its numerous criminal actions, and / or ask for the release of the Epstein files.

-$33 BILLION in military aid over 2 years
-$45 MILLION every day
-$144/month per every 🇮🇱 citizen from 🇺🇸

As 🇮🇱 has free health care, free college, subsidized child care… and we do not.

I think she's center-right, in opposition of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela. Though I did just see she's an ally of Netanyahu so 🤷‍♀️

There’s no greater snub to Trump than María Machado winning the Nobel Peace Prize, a Venezuelan woman who is a talisman for democracy in a world of autocratic men.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Mike Johnson told Republicans that he did not plan to bring the House back in session until Senate Democrats passed the GOP stopgap bill.

Translation: he is hellbent on stalling the release of the Epstein files.

As RFK Jr. spread Tylenol-autism conspiracies, the few scientists left at the EPA finished a report on PFNA—“forever chemicals” in the drinking water of 26M people—linking it to low birth weights, liver damage, and reduced reproductive health. The EPA has yet to release it, per ProPublica.

Netanyahu must be presented at The Hague and given the maximum sentence of life imprisonment; along with being forced to pay reparations to all victims in Israel and Gaza alike.
