How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force

This is so wrong - she was elected weeks ago and still not swearing her in? That’s House Unleader Mike Johnson playing games with voters in Arizona. Swear her in now! #AdelitaGrijalva #MikeJohnson #EpsteinFiles

Trump is literally destroying the White House while he is systematically dismantling our democracy. What ever happened to our ‘Checks and Balances’? What ever happened to our Supreme Court . . . oh, the lure of free vacations got to some. #TrumpSucks
Trump suggested that the construction would not affect the existing White House.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be,” he said during an executive order signing in July.

Holding military leaders accountable is important - Hind Rajab should not have been killed.
And there goes North Carolina down this bullshit gerrymandering trail that will remove any minorities from Congress. If that doesn’t reek of fascism, you must be a Republican. A white Republican.
BREAKING: In a 26-20 vote, the North Carolina Senate passes a Trump-approved congressional gerrymander that aims to dismantle one of the state’s Black Democratic seats. The House redistricting committee is set to take up the measure this afternoon.

Tom Homan reportedly accepted $50,000 stuffed into a takeout bag from undercover F.B.I. agents. We must continue to ask where the money went, Ruth Marcus writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/zn2Q1B
We hope you’re asking how much this inflated birthday party with #Hegseth and #Vance cost at #Pendleton. Disclosure - our two poster boards and felt tip pens cost $22. We love our Marines (we live nearby) but boy did their party get hijacked! #Happy250thBirthday!

Hey! That is me asking Mike Johnson about Trump pooping on No Kings protesters
Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.
It’s so time for Mike Johnson to just leave the building.

When Trump announced 4 days ago randomly that India agreed to stop buying Russia oil, I was surprised because Russia is their largest supplier, we are still in a trade war with India, and their govt has said nothing about it. Turns out he just lied and made it up. Shocker.
It finally feels like our all important media is really stepping up for First Amendment freedoms.
The policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize.

Media members that don't sign the policy by its deadline have 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out of Pentagon facilities.
