Fascism has come to the U.S. No one is coming to save us. Not Congress, not our elected officials, not the courts, not law enforcement, not the military. If we get out of this, it will be because of everyday citizens.
Tom Emmer was on Fox Business *this morning* looking gaunt and sounding a bit hoarse
😳 Rep. Pete Stauber indicates there's something gravely wrong with Tom Emmer's health: "You have no idea what Congressman Emmer is dealing with right now. If you did, you would've never made that comment. He's fighting for his damn life today!"
“Human Events with Jack Posobiec” yet not one ounce of humanity to be found.
Sen. Jim Banks refers to American citizens as "the babies of invaders" and compares them to Nazi spies and terrorists
Divorce can be messy when you’re doing it to escape domestic violence.
NN: The abuse allegations against Rep. Max Miller -- Moreno says he should resign, but President Trump disagrees. Do you think Miller should step down? REP. JIMMY PATRONIS: No. I agree with the president. This is a family fight. Unfortunately, divorces are messy. There are two sides to every story.
Happy Birthday President Barack Obama! Your decency, morality, class, humor and great sense of style shall always be a part of your legacy. #HappyBirthdayObama

Sen. Rand Paul: "This was a war of choice, and it wouldn't have been my choice ... they've militarized the strait. The strait has never been militarized ... I think that really we, by any objective viewing, are worse off now than we were before the war"
He could have gone into interior design for the ultra rich but no he just had to become president so he could fuck over the whole world.
Trump: "Now we have a big decision to make. Do we take the pavers that are red -- the red, brick pavers -- and do we change them into a granite?"
Not entirely surprised but disgusted, disappointed and sick of this shit.
my face in this thumbnail sums up how I feel about SCOTUS striking down limits on how much money political parties can spend in coordination with candidates. *loved* this conversation with Professor Sample. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZuq...

Thank you, caller. Also, what’s up with the host?
The caller on Rand Paul’s virtual town hall is all of us.
If there’s any legal loophole that could allow airports to refuse to refuel these planes due to emergency evacuation safety concerns for the shackled passengers or any other reason then perhaps we should start demanding airports do that.
🧊🚨✈️ AFGHANISTAN ⁉️ ⚠️ A GlobalX jet (tail: N276GX) on an ICE charter mission now appears to be heading to KABUL 🇦🇫 I'm going to be physically sick 👀
If this was happening they would be talking about it on Fox and NewsMax nearly 24/7.
Ron Johnson claims the the "injection injured" are committing mass suicide
I don’t know one person who had a reaction to the vaccine worse than a sore arm and just generally feeling blucky for a day or two after.
Sen. Roger Marshall: "Who didn't have a friend who took this vaccine and had some time of complication? A stroke, a blood clot, a young man getting some type of heart inflammation. That's what destroyed the trust in the American people for our government."
I’m surprised this malignant narcissist can even accept the fact that there are a ton of people out there that don’t love him.
Trump: "It's amazing what tariffs will do for General Motors, and what the election has done ... the rest of the world doesn't love me, but that's ok"
There are now just 100 days until the Nov 3 midterm. Saying this is the most important election in our lives is an understatement. This is the most important election in the life of our Republic. If MAGA wins, they will rig 2028 elections and target the freedoms of all who oppose them!
Someone has obviously never eaten a backyard tomato.
Another odd moment occurred when Musk insisted that work in the future would be "optional" because robots would do everything. Musk said people might still work in the future but compared it to people who grow their own backyard tomatoes. He said they could just go to the store for better tomatoes.
Oh great, that’s our best hope.
NEW: Trump has become so convinced that military force will help him dominate Iran that a source familiar w admin discussions tells me the “best” hope for de-escalation is that POTUS becomes “super distracted beautifying the District.” More here including ICC context: www.notus.org/trump-white-...
He’s going to do something insane again this weekend isn’t he?
Incredible scenes
The FDA is not withhold info about food contamination. There are like 6 fucking ppl to run recall comms for the entire US and about the same number of ppl in the field to track and trace. You cannot report what you don’t fucking know. There is a difference and this is not helping.
The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.
Making matters worse, the guy was a total rookie. ICE hired him in 2026. He's a veteran who had been bouncing around a series of jobs for short periods of time, often just 1-2 years. In 2025 he was fired from a job as a volunteer firefighter for getting into shouting fights with leadership.
“White House says nobody knows what he’ll ultimately say.” is probably the only completely true thing they’ve announced since Trump took office.
“White House says nobody knows what he’ll ultimately say. Reporting suggests anything from selective intel on foreign schemes, to voting-machine conspiracy theories, to an emergency declaration.”
Trump’s really repeating his greatness hits today.
Trump: "Most people don't know that 'dumb' has a B"
“The suspension is not absolute and there’s room for exceptions when executing a criminal warrant or working with partner agencies, according to a person who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive law enforcement operations.” This means nothing then. #AbolishICE
BREAKING: The Trump administration orders ICE to suspend most vehicle stops after two deadly shootings, an AP source says.
