We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.

The endgame for Trump, Vance, Noem, and Bondi is coming into clear focus; it’s a step-by-step implementation of Nazi jurist/philosopher Karl Schmitt’s ideas that created and sustained the early Third Reich. Vance has even gone so far as to directly quote Schmitt.

The Republicans don’t want to pass their budget on their own. It’s full of ugly and unpopular stuff. They want Dem cover. We cannot give it to them.

The founders in fact did NOT create the filibuster, but they DID give the Senate and House each the power to set their own rules, which includes changing rules to allow passage of appropriations bills with simple majorities

Yep!! He sold off a piece of America to not so nice people so he could have a pretty plane.

Is this legal??

This administration is really trying to rule! But MIT said no.
But, is it even legal for the WH to be the setting the conditions for favorable access to federal funding?

Trump might have immunity, but ICE does not.

He won’t be able to protect federal agents from criminal and civil prosecution once he’s gone.

Their day of reckoning will come. Broken down here…
