An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

Defense Dept has renamed its X account as "DeptofWar" and is going after Mark Kelly for his political speech. It's pathetic as it is a distraction from the kinds of defense efforts our government should be focused on, like foreign manipulation & real national security issues: x.com/DeptofWar/st...
Department of War 🇺🇸 on X: "OFFICIAL STATEMENT: The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations" / X

New Yorkers are tired of being asked to believe in a system that has delivered little for them. They want a politics that can see the scale of the crisis, and actually start to tackle it.

Mindblowing that all the politicians and US news outlets are on X.

Americans...gullible AF or lazy...pick one, or both!
MAKE RUSSIA, NIGERIA, BANGLADESH, & SAUDI ARABIA GREAT AGAIN you stupid MAGA’s 🤬 The shittiest / most “patriotic” of America ate all this crap of foreign actors 😑 🏳️
It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician who was the key vote to confirm RFK Jr., should go on TV to announce his resignation, not to serve as a smokescreen for RFK Jr.'s assault on the nation's health.
TAPPER: Dr Cassidy, RFK Jr lied to you

CASSIDY: First let me say what's most important -- vaccines are safe.

TAPPER: You were the deciding vote that allowed RFK Jr to ascend to the role of Health Secretary. Did you give him too much credit?

CASSIDY: The fact is the scientific community agrees that vaccines are safe. That's all I can say.

Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.*

The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so:
