Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

They’re primed to believe conspiracy theories. Just remind the MAGA faithful how anti-Trump Vance used to be.

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

All it takes is a whisper campaign amplifying his anti-Trump statements to the MAGA faithful, and Vance gets nowhere.

I remember when Jan 6ers were bragging on social media that evening (when they still thought the country supported it) that it was them and how dare anyone suggest it was Antifa.

It’s not just that he is delusional, but that the people around him are enabling it. Totally agree.

"Don't do that! You're gonna make them declare martial law."

Uh, no response of ours -makes- them do anything.

They're sadistic fucks. They shoot people for praying. They shoot people begging for mercy.

We're not responsible for their behavior. They're violent, treasonous criminals.

When the Trump regime says "Antifa", they don't only mean protesters, but in their own words: "anti-capitalists; pro-immigrant and anti-racism advocates; all trans people; and anyone with hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality." Remember that.

SCOTUS has already ruled that you cannot refuse to seat duly elected members of Congress. But they don’t give a shit about precedent.
