Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

This is fascinating. I would bet trump doesn’t care if we see photos of him with topless girls - but he certainly does not want us to see them laughing at him and pointing.

This is Reverend David Black, minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Chicago. He was shot seven times in the head with chemical pellets by ICE agents as he was pleading and praying at a protest.

Marjorie Taylor Greene just said the Republican Party is “getting destroyed” during this government shutdown as they refuse to protect health care.

“Everyone’s just getting destroyed... Republicans, you have no solutions... It is hurting so many people.”

No doubt the numbers will be disputed, but ‘in the region of’ is still horrific and genocidal and internationally indictable. The number of crimes and accused will be many thousands I surmise.

A HUGE shout out to all Protesters that have taken the abuse of Trump’s Militia.
Being attacked with pepper spray, shot with rubber bullets, pepper balls, thrown to the ground, pushed, etc. All that stood up and resisted the authoritarianism trying to destroy our country and democracy! 🫶🏼

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

🚨BREAKING: Former FBI Director James Comey pleads NOT GUILTY to charges of lying to Congress and obstructing a proceeding. Many believe Trump is targeting him out of revenge for investigating his 2016 campaign. Abuse of power to settle scores is dangerous and unconstitutional.
#BlueCrew #Resist

Graphic styled as a “BREAKING NEWS” alert featuring side-by-side photos of James Comey and Donald Trump. Bold text claims Comey pleaded not guilty to criminal charges and accuses Trump of abusing presidential power for revenge. A call to action urges viewers to “SMASH THE 👏🏽” if they agree Trump is acting unconstitutionally. Branding at bottom reads “CALL TO ACTIVISM.”

James Comey is not a GNAT to be gotten rid of.

Trump’s turned the DOJ into a revenge machine — staging show trials through Pam Bondi and a beauty-pageant lawyer. This isn’t law & order. It’s a dictator auditioning for absolute power. ⬇️

Trump’s Political Persecution of Comey is Flagrant Criminal Abuse of Power

CALLING DEMS "GNATS" TO BE "GOTTEN RID OF" IS A DANGEROUS NATIONAL DISGRACE

The indictment of James Comey is just the latest example of Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to go after his political enemies.

At the same time, he’s doling out favors to his supporters and allies – including white collar criminals. Watch: https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?si=QTTJev6Fml50pYgP
