"... that's almost an insurrection." He's just completely making stuff up to justify using the Insurrection Act.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Criticizing Charlie Kirk is a fireable offense that incites domestic terrorism. But calling political opponents "the party of hate, evil, and Satan" is proper and good. Got it.

All hell is about to be unleashed on people utterly unprepared to discern truth from falsehood.

Trump tells the generals that he'll use the military to fight a "war" in US cities.

Trump claims Biden never praised the military. This is from Biden' DOD farewell address.

Gov't action against people who call the admin "fascist" is the sort of thing a fascist would do.

Happy 25th Anniversary to the greatest dunk of all time.

Celebratory sparkles in front of a grieving widow wiping her tears is just one of many strange dichotomies at the Kirk Memorial Service.

MAGA repeats the worst mistakes of progressives but twice as bad.

I guess this needs to be said: The Democratic Party didn't murder Charlie Kirk and attempt to murder Donald Trump.

🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation. Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."

Hello, fellow nerds 🤓

Grok is no different from the rest of X/Twitter: it is a means for Musk to impose his worldview on users.

Our faith teachings should come from our faith leaders, not the Department of Homeland Security. The reason we have religious disestablishment in the First Amendment is our Founders didn't want a gov't that showed favoritism toward a particular religion or religious group.

The "nasty guy" @drmoore.bsky.social points out one way he is just like Donald Trump (all of us really).

I never knew Travis Kelce was an English teacher.

I appreciate the concept but I feel like some factions are missing. Where is the pro-Putin faction, for instance? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump's PAC just sent an email saying he wants to get to heaven and can do so by making America great and I can help him get to heaven by sending him $15. (Maybe one of his faith advisors can explain to him why doing good deeds (or bad deeds, as the case may be) won't save you?)

This may be too much to ask, but can we stop whining about headlines so much on this app and start looking at the actual content of articles instead?

I remember when those of us on the right were complaining about lefty media using scare quotes with "religious freedom." Now you have folks on the right literally using scare quotes for the entire "Constitution."
