🚨DHS is already lying about Border Patrol’s illegal actions in Charlotte, NC. After video exposed agents assaulting a U.S. citizen, DHS claimed the man “refused lawful commands.” Except… those commands weren’t lawful at all. This man was racially profiled twice. The first

Our Founders actually believed that jury trials were a remedy against authoritarian leaders -- and I'm thankful this DC jury proved them right. https://t.co/5RTYuByih8

Joe Biden had a peace deal in place, but then Netanyahu and Trump met in Mar-a-Lago and decided that keeping the war going would benefit them both. Ten months later, they’re signing the exact deal Biden brokered.

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This opens a window into MAGA propaganda and MSM's failure to cope with it. 1/ (new piece) https://t.co/oYHRITg6Xn

Speaker Moses McWeasel is deliberately not swearing in Arizona's Adelita Grijalva because she is the 218th vote needed for the Epstein files. The Speaker is obstructing the will of the people of southern Arizona for Trump's cover-up.

@Ronxyz00 Under the Democrats the economy was so strong the Fed was raising rates to cool things down. Unemployment was at an historic low. Wages were up. Soybean exports topped $24.47 billion. Republicans break stuff and then insist it was already like that when they got there.

Just months short of the nation’s 250th birthday, Trump is close to batting a thousand at speed-running the very abuses of power that led the Founders to write the Declaration of Independence in the first place.

Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?

This is the 2nd day in a row that Orange Fascist has said he is a dictator. And that Americans want a dictator. This is called conditioning. He's hoping if he says it enough, people will start believing & accepting it. Here is the quote: "The line is that I'm a dictator, but I
