Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Dear Democrats: Elon Musk is ruining the lives of tens of thousands of good, hard-working federal employees. And he thinks it's a hoot. He thinks it's a joke. Here is your picture. Spend some money and flood the zone so you drive this stupid, gross image into the minds of every freakin' American.

“We are successfully negotiating an end to the War w/ Germany, something all admit only ‘TRUMP,’ can do. Sleepy FDR never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, & Sikorski probably wants to keep the ‘gravy train’ going. This war never would've happened if I was President. LONG LIVE THE KING!"

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Elon Musk and Nancy Mace think they are going to scare me and silence me with a censure. They don’t want opposition as they raid the social safety net. Democrats need to fight harder, not retreat. I’m not backing down folks, I’m from Long Beach.

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

Those diversity initiatives targeted by Trump 2.0? Some of them were promoted by Trump 1.0. “Diversity and inclusion are the cornerstones of high organizational performance,” Trump's education secretary wrote in 2020 memo to staff.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Feel like there is a real possibility that we could wake up to a headline like: “TRUMP SIGNS EXEC ORDER MANDATING CHILDREN OPEN CARRY & USE TERM “ORIENTAL” OR FUNDING WILL BE CUT OFF” & his supporters would shrug, and the MSM would write: “TRUMP EXPANDS 2ND AMEND & CONTINUES TO DISMANTLE WOKENESS".
