The MN assassin's ties to the New Apostolic Reformation begin with his being a graduate of Christ for the Nations Institute. Wired further reports that in 2023 he preached, ”God is going to raise up apostles and prophets in America,” he added, “to correct His church.” www.wired.com/story/shooti...

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism. But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Trump's top advisor and biggest donor just publicly accused him of being a pedophile. Has any House Dem called for investigations yet? When Dems take the House next year, what investigation will there be? Who will be subpoened? Who is holding hearings? What's the timeline?

[email protected] should be showered with praise for this. The "smart" insider DC advice at the time was to abandon Abrego Garcia. But Van Hollen fought for his constituent and helped get him home. And it turns out fighting back rather than misreading polls was politically smart too.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Unbelievable. With Dem support, the senate passes an industry-friendly crypto bill that does nothing about Trump's crypto corruption. Ignore these Dems' speeches. Watch their votes. They're telling you they don't get it. And then they spam you to say Trump is bad so please donate more money.

You can’t make this up. Republicans snuck a “tanning bed tax break” in their bill—the same bill that’s going to make hospitals go under and take away hospital beds. They’re too ashamed to even say it, too.

It's been almost 35 years since James Carville started running the Clinton campaign & yet cable TV is still platforming him as Dems' guru in 2025. Imagine CNN in 1992 platforming Adlai Stevenson's campaign manager as Dems' top election pundit/guru that year. That's basically the equivalent.

I refuse to believe these are "accidental" letters. These are malicious attempts to move the Overton window to normalize fascism against US Citizens. MAGA regime has successfully demonized legal residents enough to pass legislation denying them due process. Citizens who speak out are next. Mark it.
