Good. They shouldn't be able to find hotel rooms or drive around without being blocked either.

The girlfriend after the investigation.

Poorly cropped image of a fox news screen cap where Jesse Watters is talking to a "mysterious" masked person who has definitely never been on Fox News talking to Jesse Watters before(he has, multiple times). Below, the original caption has been obviously scribbled out. It now reads Girlfriend of Antifa Founder Speaks Out.

They could probably arrest a lot of them visiting the ANTIFA memorial on the National Mall.

Can you ask her where I can join and how I start collecting those paychecks from Soros?

She finally realized that Mango Unchained is never going to bring her into his inner circle and she's started telling the truth about a few things.

This is hilarious! You just reminded me of my art major college roommate. One time, she planned a performance art piece where she made a mold of a head, learned how to make cheese, filled the mold with it & let it age. Then for the "performance," a bunch of us sat in a circle around it and ate it.

My friend, who's 80 and a cancer survivor, was told by her PCP that she's not allowed to administer COVID vaccines to anyone anymore.

Is Speaker Johnson the ONLY person who can swear her in? Can't a judge or other official do it? What if Johnson is incapacitated, which he seems to be? It's time to sideline him and move forward. He can't hold the entire country hostage.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 3h

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Multiple domestic abuse accusations, so give him a job where he's basically not held accountable to any laws.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Especially during a shutdown when they're not even getting paid! Morale must be at an all-time low.
