Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

Just put his name and face on something gold and maybe he won’t have a tantrum! All his political decisions and policies are just his man baby resentments and tantrums. Unfortunately, he’s using the enormous power of the US government to go after his enemies and who ever he has grievances with!

Gov. Shapiro: "The way the president has chosen to deploy the National Guard in other states, and to deploy the Guard of one state. Texas, into another state, Illinois, is extremely dangerous...It does not make us more safe. It creates chaos and real danger in our communities."

Unfortunately, Cheryl Hines chose to have an affair with and then marry and support this crazy guy. I don’t think we should rely on her to suddenly become a good judge of his character or sanity.

Maybe the brain worm was contagious and she had one too 🤷‍♀️

The worm 🐛 in his brain has obviously done irreversible damage! How did this insane person become the US Health Secretary???
Don’t forget the two Democrats, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, who both voted for Kennedy. We should be looking for Dems that can win their seats in the primaries!

As both Chicago and Portland fight against Trump's deployment of the National Guard, learn more about the Insurrection Act and the history of domestic deployment from @thedailyhayley.bsky.social, @sydkneeb.bsky.social, and @doo-dc.bsky.social:

Domestic Deployment of the Military: The Past, Present, and Potential Future

Since the founding of the United States, domestic deployment of the military has been a move of last resort; that may be about to change.

Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say

A decision isn't expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

Notice how they’re now calling everyone else an “insurrectionist.” Pure projection.

A screenshot of an X.com post by House Homeland Security Committee (@HouseHomelandSecCo) stating, "We're drawing a blank, let us get back to you," with an image of a crowd storming a government building, featuring individuals in red caps and carrying flags. Below, a reply from @Acyn
, Acyn, posted 5 hours earlier, quotes Stephen Miller asking, "when in our history have we tolerated unlawful, riotous assemblies around government buildings," accompanied by a video thumbnail of Miller speaking on a news program, labeled "OANN 0:13" with text identifying him as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.
