I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Always remember that the conclusion of THE BRAINWASHING OF MY DAD was that they got their dad back from Rush and Fox by just subscribing him to a bunch of progressive news emails.
My grandfather went through a period where he was tuning into Rush Limbaugh to “know his enemy,” and let me tell you it did NOT improve his thinking.
This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).

Funny how many ppl in Trumps admin dont seem to understand that they dont actually work for Russia
U.S. Army Sec. Driscoll warned EU diplomats that Russia is stockpiling long-range missiles, using it as leverage to push Trump’s peace plan.
He claimed the growing arsenal could soon overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses. Critics say this flips U.S. policy on its head, pressuring the victim to settle.

While America today is focused on the DC National Guard shooting, we should all be asking how did the shooter get his guns and why is this administration working to make that even easier?
While the world focused on the Epstein files, Congress took up a dangerous bill that sponsors say is to help law enforcement get greater access to “less-than-lethal” weapons.
In reality, it deregulates dangerous weapons to help a billion-dollar weapons industry make more money.

Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.
