This guy co-sponsored a bill to have "Trump Derangement Syndrome" classified as a mental illness YESTERDAY.
State Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, was arrested Monday for allegedly soliciting a minor for prostitution. The Bloomington Police Department said detectives communicated with Eichorn “who thought he was talking to a 16-year-old female” and detectives then arranged a meetup on Monday.

Yes, this.
If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Stop voting for these people!
If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army.

And yet....16 Democrats just did so

Distress flag hung off El Capitan in Yosemite. Wow.Yet, neither NBC Nightly News nor CBS Evening News reported it. Possible deadline issues but generally networks seem muted. Too many feel-good stories in place of substance. Cronkite rolling over in his grave. www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

I want to tell you a story. In 2015, I was in the small Lithuanian city of Panevežys, standing with the locals, watching a military parade. But this was no ordinary parade, because marching alongside the Lithuanian troops were our American allies.🧵1/17

Big ovation at an @RepPaulTonko town hall as a teacher encourages him to push back even harder, even get arrested to stop the Trump/Musk rampage.

"Ukraine is a country that's at war and USAID plays a huge role in Ukraine also in ways that people probably don't know," said @anneapplebaum.bsky.social.

"It has a role in restarting the Ukrainian energy grid, ... it has a role in helping Ukrainian farmers get back to work."
