I don't know how many Muslims are in this guy's district. I know there are tens of thousands in mine. They are parents. Entrepreneurs. Police officers. The firefighter-paramedic giving CPR to save your life. They are us. They are American. This tweet is NOT American. Rep. Andy Ogles a @RepOgles Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie.
No calls for censure, either from Republicans or Democratic leadership.
Thankfully, many Dems have called Ogles out.
So far, no Republicans, right?
I know there’s a lot going on, but we can’t ignore this.
A sad truth regarding the wimptitude of far too many men.
Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
"Spread the Word: Legal Immigration Is Difficult" [Alexander Kustov]
Don Jr. and Eric Trump backing a drone company to target military sales is a total collapse of American ethics. In any functioning democracy, the President’s family selling weapons to the military their father leads would be a federal crime.

Rep Jason Crow has seen war up close-and he says Americans are DONE with endless conflicts. Working-class people pay the price while DC elites talk tough. Congress must return now, hold a War Powers vote, and demand answers from Trump before this spirals into another forever war. #sheshed

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.
Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

The Financial Times is reporting that Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates are all considering withdrawing contract with the U.S. in light of recent events.
Trump blames deadly strike on school on Iran. "We think it was done by Iran." But Hegseth does not back him up when asked if that was so. "We're investigating," he says. A @nytimes.com analysis indicates it was likely hit by US airstrike. @shawnmccreesh.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

Congress ordered the Kennedy Center to be a living memorial
Trump wants to shut it down & demolish it anyway
So we amended our lawsuit & sought emergency court relief to stop the destruction of national cultural institution
