In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Just fell down a depressing rabbit hole of people believing a lie from RFK Jr that the reconciliation bill will give them a concierge doctor for $75/month. People are desperate for it. It's not even a manipulation of a kernel of a half truth. Pure cruel lie. The bill will gut them & they're excited.

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

I suspect in the days ahead we will hear a large number of people saying publicly what no one has been saying publicly. I suspect everyone reading this knows what I am referring to. A POTUS who falsely accuses Democratic leaders of paying for a military invasion of the United States is a madman.

a stark admission that they are here to usurp the authority of our duly elected government officials, punctuated by the physical removal of a US senator. Call it tyranny, call it fascism, call it authoritarianism. It's here, and it's coming for us all if we let this stand.

Just got off the phone with @schiff.senate.gov's office demanding that he support his fellow senator in shutting all Senate business down until DHS, CANG, and the Marines cease this operation. Noem's stated goal is replacing elected leaders by force and they just demonstrated they're serious.
