Gregg Abbott Declared War On Illinois

When a state’s army marches into another state, uninvited, armed, and there to harm, what do you call that?

A military occupation? A violation of state sovereignty? A Civil War?

An Armed Invasion?

Translation: if you are a republican who is involved in an insurrection, you cannot be investigated. The FBI director is offering a pass to republican politicians who are involved in potentially criminal activity.

THIS should be the shot heard (and seen) around the world.

Among countless others.

Has this goon been identified and arrested? And if not, why not?!

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

NEW: A MAGA X account often shared by Senator Mike Lee and House Republicans like Nancy Mace--that often alleges Democrats encourage voting fraud-- is run by a man who not only has never stepped foot in the US, he also illegally donated to an American campaign.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

While Trump performs for the cameras, his admin CUT $16M in federal funding for Chicago's most effective violence prevention programs. He's not solving a crisis; he's manufacturing one.

Regime Collapse 🧵: 4. They're Weekend At Bernie-ying the fuck out of Trump.

Miller has begun to let slip that *he’s* sending National Guard to cities or doing boat strikes.

Like Musk before him, we need to put the pressure on him - not Trump.

Congress should ask him to testify. 🧵

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
