This.

Ask his tradesmen and/or wives if they would describe Trump as loyal.

See ya!

Yea!

Not very PC.

Yeah, the fraud and waste guy.

This is so so true about being poor in an affluent country. I have never cared about money but to be comfortable is a different thing. Not having money erodes your sense of dignity in so many ways when basics are out of reach. #Speirgorm www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it. It's clear who gets to be “delicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.

Yes! No one is permitted to challenge MAGA deranged rhetoric (shit talk).

I won't support the troops ever again. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

See ya

An advance look at “On Parade,” David Plunkert’s cover for next week's issue. #NewYorkerCovers

What percentage of the ICE captures are actually illegal? Let’s have some transparency/accountability.

Exactly

😥

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

So the women who bragged about blowing a puppy’s brains out is now described as “delicate”? Not sure that she would like that description.

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?

"President George Washington offered a very different model of an American parade—one better suited for a moment that tested the nation’s founding principles," T. H. Breen writes:

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

Today wasn’t about a U.S. Senator, it was about an American citizen asking questions of their government and being met with force. My friend Alex Padilla — and every American — has the first amendment right to free speech.

The United States is not and never has been run by a king who is above the law or turns our military into his personal political enforcers. I will always stand with the American people and for the rule of law, the safety of all communities, and the integrity of our military.

Amen, praise the lord. 🙏

Yes!

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

You know, we used to study Dr Kings civil disobedience as something good. It was

Hey, see ya’ll tomorrow. Set your phones to Airplane mode and turn off wi-fi. Peace out. ✌️

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

It is now a crime to ask critical questions and challenge the Trump narrative. Your time is up.

A U.S. SENATOR was arrested for attempting to ask a question. Let that sink in. This is authoritarianism in real time. I’m outraged by this administration’s abuse of power and I stand with @padilla.senate.gov

ICE TRIED TO ROLL OUT IN Manhattan-New Yorkers said "NAH" AND SENT THEM BACK INSIDE!!

Call your senators, demand they shut the Senate down.

A Senator asking tough questions of the executive branch is doing his job. If that now gets you roughed up and handcuffed in the United States, it does not look much like the Republic I grew up in. Americans should be very concerned.

This is absolutely outrageous. This is a US Senator — full stop. To treat him like this is beyond the pale and the mark of an authoritarian regime. If they can do this to a sitting Senator, just think about what they can do to you. Absolutely no one should be treated this way.

Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Listening to the asshole @SpeakerJohnson just blame Senator Padilla makes a few things clear. 1st - He uses God and religion to justify lying. 2nd - IT IS TIME FOR A NATIONAL STRIKE. AMERICANS SHOULD CALL IN SICK AND SHOULD STOP SPENDING MONEY ON ANYTHING BUT NECESSITIES.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.
