Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

But what if they did, and Elon rigged it? That's what I'd like to get to the bottom of, the real numbers.

The White House claims planes bearing migrants to El Salvador were in international waters off the YucatΓ‘n, so that’s why they ignored the court order to turn them around.

International waters, eh? Isn’t that the Gulf of *America* now?

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word β€œterrorism,” then expect to be called a β€œterrorist” soon yourself.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Moulton: "Trump thinks if you try to kill cops to overthrow the government and change an election, that's not domestic terrorism, but somehow having a protest in front of a Tesla dealership is? The bottom line with Trump is freedoms and liberties belong to people who agree with him, and that's it."

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.
🀳🏽: (202) 224-3121

I'd say not getting stories. Twitter is a MAGA echo chamber shilling fake news that glorifies everything Trump & Elon does, & vilifies & fearmongers everything else. News channels are not neutral purveyors of facts either, so even if the average pro-Trump Joe is having doubts, there's no info.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?
