U.S. legislators: "Soldiers and sailors, if you are ordered to kill someone and you believe the order is unlawful, don't do it. Remember your oath to The Constitution.
U.S. President: "Kill the legislators."

Am I missing something? Anything at all?
I still have characters left, if so.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

My first thought too when Trump announced his toothless EO. This is what the MAGAts have been calling socialism forever, but now that their orange-painted leader declares it, it’s all good.

Auchincloss: "You gotta give credit to Trump as a marketer. He creates uncertainty and havoc by raising tariffs, and then claims victory when he lowers the tariffs that he himself put in place. All this does is extend uncertainty for another 90 days."

This might be the most racist thing he has ever said.
Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?

TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

All this Qatar plane bribe stuff is going to do is up the ante. Congress will turn a blind eye while others start lavishing Trump with bigger and bigger gifts. The grift is done. There is no going back without massive congressional pushback, including investigations and veto-proof legislation.

REPORTER: Why are you creating an expedited path into the country for Afrikaners but not others?

TRUMP: Because they're being killed. And we don't want to see people be killed ... it's a genocide that's taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

The fight for voting rights never ends. Last month, Indiana passed a law banning the use of university-issued IDs as valid voter identification at the polls. The state allows far less secure IDs making this a “surgical attack on young voters.” Advocacy groups have filed suit. @lwvus.bsky.social
