James: He indicated that I was on his enemies list, along with others. All of these baseless allegations that have been refuted—it’s nothing more than retribution. It’s nothing more than the weaponization of the federal government.

This new Texas law copies anti-Jewish legislation in pre-war Nazi Germany. That legislation consisted of a series of restrictive laws passed in 1933, then the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. This is not an exaggeration.

The Trump administration fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla D. Hayden as part of their sweeping book ban efforts. One of the titles removed? Freckleface Strawberry, a children’s book about self-acceptance. Seriously, who gets offended by that?

Anyone advocating for Alberta separation from Canada, especially Danielle Smith and Alberta legislature, should pack their bags and renounce their citizenship. They can leave but the land will stay. The land belongs to First Nations and the treaties are with the Crown. #cdnpoli #AlbertaSeparation

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Boasberg is pressing DOJ about Trump's comment that he could pick up the phone and have El Salvador send back Abrego Garcia. Doesn't that mean U.S. effectively has custody over deported migrants, he's asking?

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.

I served 7 years as a Recon Marine. I took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That oath still stands. I’m against Trump because defending America means standing up to those who threaten its core value

US pushes nations facing tariffs to approve Musk’s Starlink. Wow the corruption. An internal State Department memo lays it bare:“As the government of Lesotho negotiates a trade deal with the United States, it hopes that licensing Starlink demonstrates goodwill and intent to welcome U.S. businesses.”

The U.S. is on track to have the worst whooping cough outbreak since 1948. Some regions are reporting that they are struggling to do contact tracing of cases because they are ALSO managing measles investigations. And, of course, funding cuts to public health have resulted in fewer resources.

First Germany said NO to fascism and Trumpism. Then Canada said NO to fascism and Trumpism. And now Australia has said NO to fascism and Trumpism. The people of the world are speaking with their votes and we want democracy not authoritarianism. #SheShed

🚨 Big news from the Black Sea. Yesterday evening, a Ukrainian naval drone shot down a Russian Su-30 fighter jet 50 km west of Novorossiysk using an R-73 air-to-air missile. This is the first known instance of a drone using an AAM to down a fighter jet. Historic and humiliating for Russia.

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.
