If you're going to a rally on Saturday and I hope you are make sure there are people watching around you for things like cars heading for the crowd. As the Republicans are calling these hate rallies they're going to try to stoke some violence

BREAKING: Journalists exited the Pentagon after refusing to agree to the Trump administration's new restrictions on access.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces on Wednesday, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs being removal from being at the seat of U.S. military power.

He's defending them because he agrees with them. He knows 20-40 year olds are not "kids who made a mistake". He's playing it down because he sees nothing wrong with what they said.

Good evening, Portland! Tonight, we’re considering a resolution and an ordinance that will strengthen our ability as a city to safeguard Portlanders from federal overreach and militarization.🧵

Breaking: Capitol Police have been called after a Republican congressional office was just caught displaying a swastika.

This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”

MAGA Mike: 'Most Threatening Thing I've Seen Yet' Is The Portland Naked Bike Ride

There is a lot to feel threatened by these days, as masked Trump Gestapo kidnap people off the streets, but pussy Speaker Johnson feels threatened by naked cyclists. I shit you not.

As long as he opened the door to physical appearance, why does he, and so many MAGA, look like bad AI/CGI? The look as if their pasty skin will split open and some buggy creature will wriggle out like a scene from the film Men in Black?

"blue hair" is a somewhat anachronistic term for elderly ladies and I guess in that sense he's not wrong, there's a lot of normie grandparents at these things

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."
