Being uninvited from the White House caused Rand Paul to lose a lot of the respect he had for Donald Trump that Trump’s two impeachments, insurrection, four criminal indictments, criminal conviction, and sexual abuse damages verdict did not cause him to lose. Got it.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Rep. Green wants to stay in office and vote on the reconciliation bill despite now having this outside job. The bill impacts virtually every industry. Hard to see how his new job wouldn't create a disqualifying conflict of interest.

America is not under invasion from undocumented immigrants who are mostly peacefully living & working in communities that value their contribution to society America is under invasion by Trump who is literally sending military to invade & occupy peaceful cities to crush the will of the people there

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Gavin Newsom just gave a strong speech laying out the stakes for democracy in blunt language that too few powerful Democrats have been willing to use. I know the huge problems with him. But at this awful moment, playing the "Sorry, he's dead to me" game with Democrats seems an unaffordable luxury.

me: in cheers frasier said his dad was dead but then when sam visited him in seattle he had to explain that he was lying because their relationship was strained but to me the weirder thing is he never mentioned niles to anyone at cheers the federal soldier being unlawfully quartered in my home: ok

My wife can't go to the grocery store by herself because ICE might be hanging out in the parking lot. She was to carry all of her paperwork on her anytime we leave the house. And we are privelaged. But we are all supposed to worry about how the imagery of being enraged might hurt the Dems image?

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

When you head out to protests, bring American Flags and State Flags. The optics need to change. We need to take back our flag. The American flag needs to represent “Voice”, the flag needs to represent our core freedom of speech and protest. It’s all about imagery when the story is told of this time.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Yes. I will again be protesting this Saturday wearing a red white and blue tie and with a flag my sign.

"Weird", they're always white dudes? Almost as if they're proud boys? Weird how the media doesn't try to find out who they are either. That'd be a big help towards knowing who they are. Because this largely got ignored but instantly got blamed on protestors who were dancing in the streets.

Insane scenes in Downtown Los Angeles as the cops open fire indiscriminately on people milling about. The cops shattered a business’s windows while firing on a live-streaming journalist. Keep this in mind when people talk about the protesters causing property destruction. 🎥 : AXN News on YouTube

These guys would happily learn English if we paid for English classes. Instead we demand these guys work 24/7, so they learn English on the job. Anyway, this guy is pretty clearly no older than 25 and can't imagine a time when delivery services didn't exist, but he might soon get his wish.

There's a lot going on but it seems like a big deal that there's so much reporting implying that Stephen Miller, not Donald Trump, is running the federal government.

They can’t arrest all of us. They think they can. Because they don’t believe in numbers. Because math is for nerds.

Trump has been ruling as an authoritarian from the first day of this term. The only question has been how we will react. The silver lining now is that Marines being deployed against peaceful demonstrators is a lot easier to understand as dictatorial than attacks on law firms/press/universities.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadn’t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever
