It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

You talking smack about Uncle Walter? I heard he put Uncle Miltie to shame.

After Fetterman‘s brain injury, he became an organically inherently different person than he was an elected. Based on that alone, he should’ve been immediately removed and replaced. Democrats should be the first to make this move because he’s betraying the reason he was elected.

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."

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

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?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Imagine showing up to an ICE invasion carrying a rake and leaf bags and hold it out in front, offering it to the folks assigned to “protect” a city that’s not at “war.”

Without playing on their playing field. Electronic interference, confusion, ruining their financial records, using our sophisticated computer systems to identify the people in masks and shame them and their families. But not by picking up a gun.
