Rand Paul: "In the one instance you're killed on sight. On the other instance, if you're captured, we just say, 'Oh well, we're gonna send you back to your country.' It doesn't make any sense."

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

"The Pentagon should not fear scrutiny by the press corps that walks its halls. It should welcome it and rise to it. In a free country, the Army defends the people—and the press ensures the people know what is being done in their name." www.thebulwark.com/p/locking-do...

Targeting more than half the population of the US for a political reason is treason. No elected official or a member of his staff has the right to punish the American people for who they vote for. Withholding money for states that voted for Harris is tyranny and must be stopped now.

It began with crowd size.

President Macron: “We were very naive to leave our public space to social media networks controlled by US or Chinese companies that don’t share our interests and not interested in survival of our democracies.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=MggN...

Arguing with a Facebook friend that the fourth amendment says “people “ not “citizens “. She told me I was using “woke speech “. I had no idea our founding fathers were woke. constitution.congress.gov/constitution... My heart breaks for the USA.

To explain: At the start of his opinion, Judge Young includes an anonymous note received by his chambers, which reads “Trump has pardons and tanks..what do you have?” Responding to the note, Young says we have our “magnificent Constitution” and “here’s how that works out in a specific case —“

Goebbles or Miller?

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Weird right? He used to support the first amendment

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

He says it low, but he says it

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

This story feels like it’s going to have huge repercussions

Thankful the 2nd threat in less than a month was another hoax; fight or flight response & fear for my colleagues & students is the same as if it were real. You remember those times when the threat was real & people died. Relief spills over you that no one was injured, but there is emotional trauma.

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

Today is the 10th day that the homepage of Reginfo.gov — the federal government website for informing the public about what survey data and other information agencies collect — has displayed a notice saying it's "currently undergoing revisions" with no further explanation

When Tr#mp dies and JD becomes president, will they fawn over his “big beautiful face” and kiss his rear end?

A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."

Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.

The book, "Your Child, His Family, and Friends" by marriage and family counselor Frances Bruce Strain, was checked out in July 1943, the library said in a news release. buff.ly/WUrQadq

Faculty who wrote to defend their president and object to a DOJ investigation of their university...are now being investigated by the DOJ. The most banal defense of free speech and academic freedom will trigger the full wrath of the US government now. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/u...

He cheats on taxes. He cheats on asset valuation. He even tries cheating inflation. He's cheated on all his wives. He cheats at golf. He cheats on America... and the Earth. He's a cheater. But he can't cheat mortality and when that beautiful day comes, we won't be cheated out of a huge celebration.

So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...

Week 1: Are you still talking about Epstein? Week 2: I know it’s a hoax. It’s started by Democrats. Week 3: They should focus on… Larry Summers and Bill Clinton

“I told them I was an American citizen. I questioned why they were using those tactics on me. I asked about my constitutional rights. An officer outright said out loud that I have no constitutional rights at a point of entry,” says Wilmer Chavarria, a school superintendent in Vermont.

I've no more F***s to give. This song is both witty and accurate. youtu.be/Vqbk9cDX0l0?...

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious. Check out this song parody from last night's show: Mike Johnson Delays House Epstein Vote Until September

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

Seems important.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

On Monday morning, the Trump Organization announced that it would offer a new wireless service, Trump Mobile, and a golden, $499 smartphone to go with it. None of it makes much sense, and the more you read about it, the more confused you might get.
