If we had a normal Congress that I’ve held a law and not a bunch of Republican, yes, she could be a peach. But this Congress won’t release the Epstein files.

I’ve read he dissed his middle school Mexican-Am friend b/c he was Latino after reading white nationalist hate literature.

His sociopathy goes way back. I imagine that as a kid he pulled wings off of flies, set fires & wet the bed. He is still doing this now.

Health premiums are already set to rise 15–20% next year—but if you rely on the ACA marketplace, losing tax credits could spike your rates 75–100%.

Millions are about to pay thousands more.

That’s what this shutdown is really about. #TrumpShutUSDown

Nobody in the blue states asked for your “help,” Greg.

Tweet from Greg Abbott showing members of the Texas National Guard boarding a large military cargo plane on a runway at sunrise. Text reads:
“The elite Texas National Guard.
Ever ready.
Deploying now.”

She certainly appears to not understand the Constitution, the law or her role as AG.

NaziMiller can spout lies.
It doesn’t make them fact, only propaganda, gaslighting and lies.

It’s unconstitutional to deny birthright citizenship. Period. Any other decision defies the Constitution.

The Bulwark @thebulwark.com · 1d

Why are the courts having to slog through so much federal litigation over Trump’s executive order? Because the far-right majority on the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to shut it down.

Courts Keep Smacking Down Trump’s Lawless Attempt to End Birthright Citizenship

But he keeps plugging away—believing his allies on the Supreme Court will ultimately side with him.

The disdain that dropped out of her w/every answer was repugnant. She thinks she holds the high moral ground &can continue to lie her way through. I hope the Democrats can win back the House & Senate &she is called before a committee where she isn’t able to get away with these obfuscating answers.

We need to think about an “aikido” response.

General Strike & soft secession of blue states.

Starve them by withholding our support of this terrorism.

This would be painful but not as painful as fascism.

They are provoking a response to their violence in order to justify martial law &the normalization of military roaming our streets.
Don’t normalize this ever or we lose our country for sure.
They want to stop free & fair elections b/c they know they will lose b/c of the harm they are causing us all.

I never made this connection, but @blaes77.bsky.social makes a valid point: Norm wants us to be concerned about phony cartel threats of bounties on agents heads, but she doesn’t seem to think bounties on every person who resists is not violence & ok.

Not Sure @blaes77.bsky.social · 1d

But bounties she has put on every person within the USA who resists facism isn"t dangerous? Oh... i forgot they are called a bonus, so not dangerous.
