Why isn't every Democrat saying this all the time to anyone who will listen?

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 1d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

and that's like, white normies. natural born citizens. if you think people are generally equal and have rights they want to go through your phone and break up whatever book club you belong to. if you think racism is bad they don't think you should have roads or running water. it's a problem

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

POOL: Are you concerned that through original sin your soul is corrupted in the eyes of an angry god?

TRUMP: Original what? Sin? No. That's the first I'm hearing of that. No. Adam and Eve were not good people, ok. I'm different. My team tells me, they say "you have the most beautiful soul we've eve

I really appreciate how the piece digs into fact checking whether the various policies and programs were working or not! A major reason I subscribe to both KUOW and ProPublica!

Data provided by the mayor’s office and the King County Regional Homelessness Authority shows otherwise. The year before, CoLEAD moved a far bigger share of its clients from its city-funded beds into permanent housing than emergency shelter operators as a whole: 65%, compared with 26%.

You want Democrats to do something. They militarized the police and built up the security forces that are invading US cities. They've done enough

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

I think the basic problem with the Bengals aside from the Brown family is that they fired Lou Anarumo last year when they should have fired everyone but Lou Anarumo.
