You can blame a lot of what's happening today on Alex Jones

Long before Sandy Hook, he peddled the vile conspiracy theory that "9/11 was an inside job"

Still, in 2016 Trump appeared on his show and praised his "amazing reputation"

Now those peddling conspiracy theories are running the government

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

In case you got lost in the steaming pile of bullshit Speaker Johnson’s been shoveling, the shutdown fight Democrats are holding the line on is about healthcare for hard-working Americans.

Leader Jeffries isn’t flinching, isn’t wobbling; he’s been consistent and hasn’t wavered on this issue.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

Narrative matters in political warfare. We are winning this. MAGA are reduced to begging each other to be scared of the dancing frog.

Donald Trump's brains are pudding. He is dying. That is why he is fixated on "heaven" lately.

Dasha Burns said she talked with Trump on the phone 4 days ago. But now he doesn’t know who she is 🤔

Bari Weiss always fails up. Always. CBS news is a joke. This is an article from an internet shitposter on CBS News and yes they spelled Zohran Mamdani's name wrong.

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

They’re right.
Even if we have to work in shifts, we need to be a constant thorn in their sides.

Take OFF the gloves and fight!

Show up at their homes, their offices, where they eat. Make them walk through a crowd of us everywhere they go until they remember who really holds the power!

The economy is crumbling, experts are warning global terrorism threats are rising with no one listening and Republicans are bumbling through the shutdown incapable of governing. All while Trump's mental decline is on full display. Today's Coffee With Texas Paul, JOIN US at 11 AM Eastern.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?
