These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Just want to note that the Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins (pictured in the linked article) was confirmed 72-28. 18 Democratic Senators voted to confirm her, despite the fact that Rollins headed the America First Policy Institute, a group whose whole goal was to create the policy to enact Project 2025.

Not joking: has one reporter responded to his preposterous Sgt Schultz “I know nothing” schtick by immediately asking:

* Doesn’t this level of ignorance disqualify you as speaker?

* Do you really think we are so dumb to believe you?

* Do you think it is appropriate to insult the voters like this?
RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?

Good reminder that Trump was guilty of an egregious crime simply in Georgia, let alone the rest of the country, and should have served a significant stint in prison. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

The U.S. justice and political systems have shown that they can’t hold the president and his allies to account for trying to steal the 2020 election.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

US flags half staff?
One was a social media influencer, right-wing political activist, entrepreneur, media personality,
and of the male persuasion
earning $325K annually from TPUSA & related orgs;
the other, a US soldier, on duty & executed in our capital, earning :$2k monthly & decidely FEMALE.
Hours after Charlie Kirk was shot, there is an instantaneous order from 🍊💩 for US flags half staff but when a National Guardsman who was illegally ordered to DC dies from being shot, there is no such order? Abysmal but yet not shocking. Ask your military friends and family how they feel about this.
Outrage Grows as Flags Stay at Full-Staff After D.C. National Guard Killing
A growing wave of anger is building online after the killing of West Virginia National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, who was shot and killed during an ambush-style attack in Washington, D.C.

You have the right to record ICE.

You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.

Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.
