Seems the No Kings rallies across the country triggered some people.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

The problem with Susan Collins in one quote:

"Collins herself has said she has no regrets for voting to confirm Vought, though she told reporters, 'that doesn’t mean we agree on much of anything.'"

Her wishy-washiness has cost Americans dearly.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social is Worth a retweet after the week our President has had.
New piece from @radiofreetom.bsky.social answers the question: What does “nothingburger” have to do with
“utterly embarrassing”
“not okay”
“more confused”
“lost in the halls of history”
“usual grievances, lies, and misrepresentation”
“obsessions”
&
“unhinged”

It’s….sobering and also a great read

"Sheer drama?" Drawing a parallel between a humanitarian who sought to correct economic inequality and societal malaise and a despot who places figurative and literal handcuffs on the nation is specious. The palpable strain has the stench of mediocre speculative fiction, not historical analysis.
