I have taken
the freedom of speech
that was in
the Constitution

and which
you were probably
using
for peaceful protest

Forgive me
the courts said they were
so agitating
and so irritating

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."

I've been a paid subscriber since maybe a couple of months after you set up PN. I have to say that in the past few weeks I've repeatedly thought, "There is no amount of money in the known universe to properly compensate Aaron for doing this job." #respect

Trump: "Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a far left extremist who inscribed the words, 'hey fascist, catch' -- meaning catch the bullet -- onto the bullet shelf itself."

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 19h

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

After law school, only one thing is gonna keep me from prosecuting murders in my home town, and that is prosecuting the shameful federal ‘law enforcement’ officers who are so proudly violating the law. Save your signing bonuses for defense lawyers. You’ll need them.

A leaked memo shows Trump is trying to deny furloughed federal employees the backpay they are legally entitled to after the government shutdown ends. This won’t be allowed to stand. And it’s because of a law he signed!

Furloughed workers not guaranteed back pay after shutdown, OMB claims

Federal workers may not be entitled to back pay after the government shutdown ends, the Trump administration’s budget office wrote in a new draft memo obtained by The Washington Post, ratcheting up te...

It’s bad that cops lie so much.
But is it good or bad that they don’t bother to tell lies that stand up to the gentlest scrutiny?

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

Tyranny isn’t American. Defiance of tyranny is.

Trump might think he’s warming people up to the idea of authoritarianism, but he’s encountering patriotic resistance at every turn.

From judges, governors, ordinary citizens…like us.

True Americans will not go quietly into the night.
