The paid grifters, partisan hacks, and bots are out in force—misleading people about the Constitution and the law—to defend Trump’s unconstitutional war. Here’s an important Iran war PSA: Contrary to what you may have heard about the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. §§

I know one group of champions who would never willingly invite the feds into their celebration.
A source sent me this video of FBI Director Kash Patel partying with the US Men's Olympic Hockey team.

Rather than calling them “rare earth minerals” can we just call it “spice”? And rather than saying we need to diversify our spice supply chains, can we just insist that “the spice must flow”?

Your comment does not align with what the article says. Lummis is even quoted saying “we can’t let people call each other those kinds of insane things.”
Free speech Republicans, such as Cynthia Lummis, are getting increasingly uncomfortable with Trump’s actions around free speech.

Donald Trump says he's pro-crypto & but his DOJ just convicted Roman Storm for writing code. Who will ever want to work on DeFi in the USA ever again? Development will move to freer countries where innovation isn't punished.

“Birth tourism” in the US means that a bunch of rich people are signing up their kids to be lifelong US taxpayers because we’re the only major country on the planet that charges full freight taxation for overseas citizens, it’s literally the opposite of a problem.
I have to be honest, I don't understand why liberal and leftist Americans are so against ending jus soli citizenship. I get that Trump is very unlikely to replace it with something fair, but it so obviously opens your country up to birth tourism

let’s talk more about this since lots of you are incapable of thinking past “hurr durr the feds owning tons of land is bad.” they claim this is about creating space for housing to help more americans own homes. this is a lie. most of these places are remote, wild, harsh

"Our rights are granted by our Creator" is so cringe, folks. Rights can not be bestowed upon you by anyone or anything. Rights must be asserted. Rights come from within.

Officer Dustin Dillard, who kneeled on Tony Timpa's back for those 14 minutes, testified at trial today. He cried talking about his past & said it wasn't his fault Timpa died. But something his lawyer said caught my attention more than anything. A thread.
This was Tony Timpa. At 32, he died after cops kneeled on him for 14 min & taunted that he just needed some "tutti-frutti" waffles. You may not have heard his name. But his mom's 7-year, ongoing fight for justice epitomizes how hard it is to hold police accountable. A thread.

Second-biggest owner of Twitter is executing a man for his tweets. Silence from the owner of Twitter, who is a self-styled ‘free speech absolutist.’ Not even a “concerning”.
A Saudi court has sentenced a man to death based solely on his Twitter& YouTube activity. Repression has reached a terrifying new stage when a court can hand down the death penalty for nothing more than tweets. Saudi authorities should quash the verdict. https://t.co/jUYep3vrei

When #JerrySpringer was mayor of Cincinnati, Nazis wanted to march downtown. He knew he had to allow it but worried what his parents—who were Holocaust survivors—would think. They told him, "This is America... Let 'em march." RIP to a principled free speech advocate.

It's actually great to set precedent that even the most powerful office in government is not above the law.
