It is driving me crazy that I’m not seeing widespread coverage of these statements by the President. This is a big deal! If a news organization isn’t putting this in front of their readers/viewers, they are failing at their job to inform the public.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family. No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

DUFFY: You should wear a tuxedo to your flight. ALSO DUFFY: But the airport will be a gym.

👇 👇 👇 If things don’t change in ‘26, I hope all young people leave, because there will be no future in this once great nation. And after this new NSS I can’t imagine anyone signing up for ANY branch of the service. That will make it harder to be a bully. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Current US Policy: If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Trump: I'm going to pardon massive drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández, bc I don't think former leaders should be held accountable for their crimes. Also Trump: But I'm going to make thinly sourced claims that Maduro is a drug kingpin so I can rationalize an illegal war based on that claim.

The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

ICE, like the Gestapo, demands if you're not white you must carry "papers" to prove you belong in the USA if they stop you. Their stops aren't usually based on investigation, but on racial profiling. But if you show your papers, they say they're fake. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
