One of our core principles is to not deploy the Marines domestically to carry out law enforcement functions. They aren’t trained for that and aren’t there for that. Since the founding of the Republic. But this toady will never go against Trump on anything. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Musk cannot be “turned”, “flipped”, “allied” with. He is a Nazi and he’s killed 300,000 people, mostly children. Anyone considering taking his political contributions or discussing allying with him has no moral compass nor should they be near power.

As a child, the U.S. government forced George Takei and his parents to live in an American internment camp during WWII. After the war, his family was left without a home or any resources to get by. He went on to become an award-winning actor and a lifelong advocate for immigrants' rights.

New in PN: The new pope is latest sign that the world rejects Trumpism "Neither Pope Leo nor Mark Carney nor anyone else can save the US from what its own voters have done to it. But we all live in the same world, and any pushback against Trump is helpful and hopeful."

The Trump admin is fast-tracking a uranium mine in Utah by slashing the permitting process to 14 days, bypassing environmental review and cutting the public out entirely. Projects like this are supposed to go through NEPA, the law that requires environmental impact assessments and public comment.

AOC: This administration — and Noem — spits on the American flag every time they engage in that nonsense. So I don’t want to hear anything about “America First.” These people, and this administration, are putting America last by acting like their allegiance is to a man instead of the Constitution.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Trump’s allies are all so grotesquely twisted. The South African oligarch in Trump’s orbit knows absolutely nothing about American patriotism and proper allegiances. Sen. Mark Kelly is deeply beloved and honored in this country — whereas Elon Musk is wholly despised. SLAVA UKRAINI FOREVER.
