Allowing any type of "enforcement" officers to be masked and unidentifiable emboldens them to act illegally.

Christians: Does Jesus approve of beating up and imprisoning migrant workers and mothers? What about robbing the poor of needed healthcare? And not providing food and shelter to the homeless? Guns. Children being slaughtered. Jesus is cool with all that? #MAGA is not Christian values.

You ever have that odd feeling when you walk into a room and you can't remember... Why haven't they released the Epstein files?

Trump claims we are receiving trillions of dollars in foreign investment and that he's ended 10 wars. These are they types of claims you'd expect from someone who cheats at golf. #trumpmustgo

It looks like some of these ICE agents are engaging in aggravated assault and false imprisonment when dealing with protesters. At that point, they've crossed a line (no longer performing their prescribed federal duty) and should be subject to state charges and arrest.

A US citizen & human rights defender identified as Rachel S. was abducted & beaten by ICE Trump regime forces in LA, then transported to the hospital and then a detention center, local rights defenders demand an investigation. She is heard screaming: "Let me go! I am an American! I was born here!"

I can produce over a thousand posts, tweets, and clips of Trump making hateful, mean-spirited, mocking, and demeaning comments directed at fellow Americans (even while seated as president). The nerve of these people to tell US to dial down the rhetoric. Don't be afraid of the truth.

If the left overstepped the Constitution, I would call foul. I would be outraged. I don't care which side it is. If you abuse the rights of Americans, then shame on you. This isn't left vs right. This is a government going against the American people by ignoring Congress (a republican one at that).

Sometimes, it's easy to forget that we're all on the same team. There are a few, however, that stand to gain power and wealth by keeping us apart with fringe ideology.

Today, we can build instruments that measure small wrinkles in time and tease out the components of atmospheres on distant planets. But we also live in a time where the President of the United States doesn't understand how magnets work or tariffs. Can barely read and is incapable of simple math.

Yet another sad day for America.

It's important to remember that the Democratic Party lost to Trump, not once but twice, in presidential elections. Both parties have a lot of work to do to get right with the majority of hard-working Americans. For the Democratic Party, how about putting forward viable, electable candidates?

Medical Advice: There are many studies that indicate pregnant mothers should treat fever as quickly as possible and not "tough it out," as Trump claims by avoiding fever reducing medications. Don't take medical advice from politicians or their brain compromised appointees. Trust your doctor.

Normal people just admit when they say something wrong or stupid. Only kids use the "joke" excuse--except for the Trump administration. Fact check: Vance, rewriting last week’s history, claims FCC chair just made a ‘joke’ about Kimmel flip.it/d.m4T9

To my brothers in arms: Orders to fire on vessels, unprovoked, in international waters are illegal orders. Belay those orders.

Trump didn't tell people directly to inject bleach, but here's what he said: "And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?" Big brains. He then babbled about using light.

"Like nothing anyone has seen before" is such a dumb and lazy statement that Trump makes almost a thousand times a day.

With the stress of everyday life weighing on me, I'm going to devote more time to running, sourdough baking, reading, and mead crafting. The running and sourdough cancel each other out. The mead and reading enhance each other nicely.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt

I do hope that all of Trumps minions understand they don't share his immunity. Justice is slow, but it will come. Keep doing all the illegal shit Trump begs you to do. Just know his time will come to an end.

Are we OK with a president who hates Americans? A president who acts with vengeance against our institutions? A president that secretly organized an attack on our Capitol? A president who is stifling speech? Labeling Americans who disagree with him the enemy (or terrorist)? I'm not ok with it.

Trump hates Americans. Not just a few. Wide swaths. He hates everyone who doesn't share his myopic hate filled worldview. He hates those who didn't vote for him or oppose him. Hate with vengeance. And he's declared war on Americans. On our Constitution. Congress, do your job.

Trumpstein Files? Release the files already.

Personally, I would fight for free speech. Where are the patriots that swore to uphold the Constitution? I'll defend the rights of people like Charlie Kirk as much as those who speak out against these types of people. I can condemn his views and defend his rights because I'm an American.

Don't worry. Trump is taking care of important stuff. No, not the economy, or healthcare, or genocide in Gaza. No, not the labor situation or the stress on farming. TikTok. He's making deals for TikTok. FFS

Maybe you don't think bombing vessels in international waters is a big deal. But what happens when other countries start bombing American vessels? All they need to do is claim they were super positive there was illegal activity. No courts. Instant death.

The so-called party of law and order is completely unhinged and unlawful: Extrajudicial killing in international waters. Deporting people without a hearing to parts unknown. Sending the National Guard into cities by declaring phony emergencies. Making government workers swear loyalty. TMG.

The #Trump brand of McCarthyism is to brand Antifa (whatever that is) a major terrorist organization. No big deal, right? Now he can label everyone he doesn't like as Antifa. Celebrities. News agencies. Media platforms. He's millitarizing our cities and creating a police state. IT MUST STOP!

MAGA should maybe do a better job of vetting the people they hold in high regard. It's a bad look to say you're holding a moral high ground while endorsing racist, murdering, rapist pedophiles. You can't be FOR justice while carrying out extrajudicial executions in open waters.

Love this. Also, if Bondi needs examples of hateful (and protected) speech, she can look at Trumps Truth Social account.

Political gamesmanship has divided us into camps. It's all bullshit. We are all brothers and sisters, cousins, and neighbors. We all have the same needs and desires. Don't let THEM define who WE are.

I don't know if it's covid or what, but I'm feeling the crud. Advil is helping, but a nice pour of Pikesville Rye is really doing wonders. Now it's time for PJs and a good book. Early to bed. Tomorrow has promise. Night y'all.

JD is saying the left is responsible for violent crazy people. I'd like to introduce you to Eric Robert's, Timothy McVeigh, Dylann Roof, and Enrique Tarrio. Which side do these monsters belong to? Hate is the problem. Violent rhetoric coming from Congress and the President must stop.

JD Vance is going to shut down violent organizations. Are the Proud Boys on that list? Maybe start with groups that violently attacked our Capitol on January 6th.

Knock it off with categorizing high-profile murderers as left or right. The common denominator is that they've all been unhinged and had easy access to firearms. Crazy is on both sides. Mainstream media gives angry rhetoric a voice. It's not helping. No more blaming. Put Americans first.

Hate begets hate. If you want to build a following that is centered on prejudice and in opposition to the free will of others, you do so at your own peril. This alt-right neo-fascist fake Christian nonsense is a disease of ignorance. It's not making America great. Educate. Inform. Nonviolence.

I can see it in her (Leavitt) eyes. Great conflict. The illusion of Trump has worn off. What does she tell herself when getting ready in the morning? "It's going to be OK. This is going to make me rich, and that's all that matters." or "Oh God, what the he'll did I get myself into?"

Exactly how much illegal and unconstitutional executive activity will this Congress tolerate? How does the Republican party want to be remembered post Trump? As feckless, weak, cowards who had the power to act yet sat idle? Trump is doing more for the Democratic Party than anyone.

Trump proved it's safe to walk around D.C. by going to a local restaurant. All you need to do is have a National Guard presence and a squad of secret service agents surrounding you. Wow. I've been going to that restaurant for years without issue. Guess it was luck I never got murdered.

May Trump live a long life. I want him to see the magnitude of his failures so that he may fully appreciate his place in history and see how he'll be remembered before passing. The full social collective association of Trump with failure, stupidity, grifting, and criminal behavior is inevitable.

Voting Trump to "own" the libs was a most un-American act. Risking our economy and Constitution on such a poor choice for what, hate? Hate might be having a resurgence under Trump. It won't last. It can't last. It always fails in the end.

Hoax, hoax, hoax. Everything is a hoax that concerns Trump and his illegal behavior. And everyone is lying or deranged. And everything that isn't going to plan is because of some nefarious plan of Biden and the 'deep state'. Can't trust anyone, but ol' Trump. Doesn't this get old for MAGA?

Please, the U.S. Open asked us not to share any video of the president being booed heavily by an entire stadium, please respect their wishes, please

Sad days when the most (maybe only) credible news source available in the U.S. is Al Jazeera.
