His masked agents already are grabbing people off the street.

Separating children from their parents.

Creating fear.

Taking people for “how they look.”

Making people feel they need to carry citizenship papers.

Invading our state with military troops.

Sending in war helicopters in the middle of the night.

Arresting elected officials asking questions.

The truth hurts

Yep, the same with the clickbait headlines. That's why I don't share their content with friends and family, even when the interviews are good.

In the lead-up to the election it was Trump Collapsing, Panic in the GOP.....

Speaker Johnson will do the same after the midterms.

The GOP is a criminal organization.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

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.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

And, not a word from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social or @schumer.senate.gov. This is a complete failure of leadership. It's time for them to step aside.

Huh? I like your writing, but this makes no sense.

That's her strategy. Evade and attack, evade and attack.

I was traveling today and didn't watch the 'hearing'. Did any Republicans ask a serious question?

David Whitehouse, Ph.D @davidw38.bsky.social · 1d

Exactly, a 1% increase in Larry Ellison's net worth is $4B. That's 2.5X the value of CBS News.

Wow, in any other administration she would be fired immediately.

They’ll do the same after the midterms

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social for Democratic Senate Leader!

Schumer needs to step aside for the good of the country.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 1d

Understand what they are doing: using the massive power of the state - including military power and the power to imprison - to carry out a campaign to eliminate their political opposition.

It's growing in seriousness by the hour.
