Imagine children in front of their school, waiting to be picked up. Then this happens to their mother before their eyes. Imagine their terror. What will happen to them? Who will make sure they're safe? Heartbreaking. I'm ashamed of my country.

Kristi Noem actually said it out loud: "...we're going to root them [antifa] out and eliminate them from the existence of American society."
Antifa = antifascist. By which she means anyone who isn't MAGA.
She couldn't be more anti-American!😮

DON'T buy into #MikeJohnson's pathetic excuse for not swearing in duly-elected #AdelitaGrijalva.

Elected official CAN be sworn in during a government shutdown.

Want some precedent?

The full House was sworn in during a government shutdown when a new Congress started in January 2019.
#EpsteinFiles

Swearing-in ceremonies are not halted by a shutdown, because they are constitutional or statutory duties, not discretionary spending activities.

A government shutdown affects agencies and programs that rely on annual appropriations, but Congress itself and the offices of elected officials (federal, state, or local) usually remain operational for essential and constitutional functions.

For example:

Members of Congress can still take the oath of office even if parts of the federal government are closed. Congressional operations are funded separately under permanent appropriations.

Presidents are sworn in on January 20th regardless of any shutdown. The inauguration is a constitutional event that cannot be postponed by funding gaps.

State and local officials are likewise sworn in per their state constitutions or laws — those events are governed by state authority, not federal funding.

Trump’s economic policies are hurting his supporters. He’s cancelled investment in red-states, slashed health care spending, and ruined the market for farmers. “Trump won’t rest so long as there is a single MAGA voter left employed.” From Ryan Cooper: trib.al/uGwl968

Donald Trump to Trump Country: Drop Dead

The president told MAGA voters exactly what he was going to do in 2024. Now he is doing it.

Bring the Epstein Files out into the open.

I invoke the 1st amendment. Freedom of speech.

I do not promote violence. I do not promote hatred. I promote honesty, transparency and a shared humanity in difference.

Mr. Brainworm, whose brain has been damaged by a hungry hungry worm, shouldn’t be in a position to spread insane lies about circumcisions & Tylenol.
Even w/o brain damage, he’s probably a born-sociopath. With all that, & a past of profiting off health-related lies, he should be canned from his job.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 23h

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

TRUMP: “Gaza’s gonna be slowly re-done. You have tremendous wealth in that part of the world.”

Sure sounds like that giant real estate deal coming together, like he (and Smotrich) have openly said. Anyone wanna bet Trump’s family gets a nice piece of the action?

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Everytown for Gun Safety @everytown.bsky.social · 21h

The gun industry preys on fear and paranoia to sell more guns—all while knowing that when everyone is armed and afraid, people shoot first and ask questions later. Now, they’re pushing for a dangerous federal Concealed Carry Mandate.

“We took the freedom of speech away,” President Trump boasted in his opening remarks at his “antifa roundtable” Wednesday.

It was a jarring admission—perhaps a Freudian slip—from a president who is, indeed, evidently intent on eliminating free speech. trib.al/6RZEOqc
