People laughing at this don't seem to realize how perilous this is. Now he can call anyone a member of Antifa. This will be his justification for disappearing more people off the streets and sending them to God knows where.

Be very careful when joking about this!

ABC News says the indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James by Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Lindsey Halligan caught Trump's attorney general, Pam Bondi, off guard, raising questions about whether she has fallen from Trump's favor despite her devotion and sycophancy.

This is what I have been worried about.

“Trump and the MAGA cronies know there are likely to be millions of people in the streets on October 18th for the No Kings protests. And so their strategy is to preemptively paint patriotic, dissenting Americans as literal terrorists,” says Chris Hayes.

Maryland Rep. Olszewski: With all the due respect to the Speaker, that is a load of crap. Rep. elect Grijalva was duly elected. She’s ready to get sworn in any time, any place. Those 2 Floridians were sworn in the day after they were elected. This is now weeks that we’ve been waiting to swear her in

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance doesn't mean people won't get sick.

It makes health care more expensive for everyone.

I guess they didn’t like Trump’s new 100% tariffs on China today, added on to the previous tariffs.

The President seems unwell. From his physical symptoms to his visible cognitive decline, the American people deserve clear answers about his ability to serve. I’ve formally called on the White House Physician to provide transparency and the truth about President Trump’s health.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

I suspect the transcript would explain that…. This “prosecutor” likely has no idea how to conduct a competent grand jury investigation

"Donald Trump assembled this team to suit his twisted visions of vengeance, destruction, and self-aggrandizement. Never has a collection of people so unbalanced, unqualified, and unfit controlled the levers of federal government power.

This deserves a constant reminder...."
