Trump: Everything we're doing is very lawful and what they're doing is not lawful.

And what the governor and mayor, as an example, you can say of Portland and certainly of Chicago, it's not lawful what they're doing. They have to be very careful.

Someone who can't tell the difference between a constitutionally protected peaceful protest and an insurrection shouldn't be the president. Just to make things clear, THIS is what an insurrection looks like.

It’s absurd that the Regime is saying Portland and Chicago are war zones. Absolutely ABSURD! Well, hopefully the super hero Antifa frog can save the day.

Piss Drunk Pete apparently thinks cybersecurity is a distraction from his "warfighting" manly man schtick. The Pentagon has cut cybersecurity training programs at a time of surging cyberattacks on U.S. military and infrastructure. Genius.

Everything happening in the U.S. today, including deployment of military vs citizens protesting, hasn’t been spontaneous.

All was pre-planned by The Heritage Foundation years ago and written in Project 2025.

There’s also a secret Part 2 we’ve yet to see.

The die is cast. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order Monday creating "ICE-free zones" across Chicago. Zones like schools, parks, and libraries are off-limits, and private businesses can opt in to the protection network. He has the full backing of Gov. Pritzker.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an order making city property off-limits to ICE. As federal troops deploy to Chicago, this is a bold stand for accountability and human rights. No city should ever be turned into a battleground for political power.

Counting real voters in TX: Voters don't register by party. When they vote in a partisan primary, their choice is recorded in the state voter file. W/o stronger clues (e.g. political donations or holding partisan public office) the most recent even-year partisan primary ballot is used. #ProudBlue

You can say a lot about MTG but she can recognize a sinking ship when she see’s one. Republicans are going to lose on the health care issue. It’s not sustainable for anybody except billionaires.

To satisfy Trump’s vengeful hatred, James Comey was indicted 2 weeks ago on bogus charges

We know that Trump wanted a “perp walk” to publicly humiliate him as a part of his retribution - A FBI agent refused and was fired for not complying

This case will likely be dismissed for cause

Trump’s hit list for prosecuting his enemies isn't working out

The 2nd attorney assigned to dig up dirt & prosecute NY AG Letitia James is coming up empty

Assistant U.S. Attorney Elisabeth Yusi came to the same conclusion as the 1st prosecutor

She won't make up evidence against anyone

Good. Several Democrats dare to say the D-word, dementia. Anything that brings the conversation into the mainstream, but not from Dems known to oppose Trump.

Who can genuinely show care for Trump & concern for national security over the risk & sacrifice of speaking up?

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.
