chump is:

Kidnapping us off the street!

Ruining our economy; raising prices on health insurance & fuel for our cars!

Picking fights with our Allies & other countries that he doesn’t like!

chump wants to join the world wide “dictators” club by ruining our country, our health and our democracy!

Let's focus on Steven Millers slip up on CNN.
Who the hell does he think he is?

Plenary?Plenary authority?

No Steven Miller, Wrong again!!

No! You do not plenary authority to harm the American Public. It is cruel and illegal. You do not have the executive power to overthrow our own government

Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.

NEW: Comey is going to file selective and vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss AND he will challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment! There’s more, too… so glad @annabower.bsky.social is there to bring us the whole story! Thread below with details:

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

Today I wrote about why my law firm is currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states. While the legacy media focuses on other things, Trump has launched a wholesale attack on free and fair elections.

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

I'm honored to earn the endorsement of Liz Holtzman, who served our city with distinction as a Congresswoman, District Attorney and Comptroller.

"Mr. Mamdani will bring tremendous energy and intelligence to the second toughest job in America along with a vision of making New York more affordable."

Our government is shut down but nobody is paying attention because our president is an idiotic cunt who is sending troops to invade our cities for fraudulent reasons because he’s a pedophile.

California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.

The fact of the matter is that the American economy needs air travel to be running at peak efficiency (such as it is), delays that are happening now are already damaging corporate America's bottom line and it will only get worse

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.
