WHITEHOUSE: How long do you intend to put up with Kash Patel? Are you good w/ his airplane jaunts, are you confident he's not drinking on the job, are you sure he knows what he's doing?
BLANCHE: That's an extraordinarily obnoxious question. I have full faith in Patel
W: Great. You get to own that

it sucks that the media doesnt care that the president is deteriorating in front of us because if it does happen the conspiracy theories will further rip this country apart and that could be triaged with actual reporting on whats currently wrong with him

Trump is using cryptocurrency to let billionaires, big tech, and foreign governments bribe him personally.
The CLARITY Act is disguised as “crypto regulation,” but the bill would do nothing to stop Trump’s crypto-fueled bribery machine.
Call your senators & urge them to vote NO on the CLARITY Act.

Stop Trump’s Crypto Corruption—Call Your Senators
The Senate will be considering the CLARITY ACT. A Trojan horse for deregulation that would only help Trump, billionaires, and foreign governments profit at our expense. We need Senators to block them.

We're no more than a few hours away from the next phase of digital propaganda: unverified videos of "liberated people celebrating" will go viral. Many of these videos will later be revealed to have predated the illegal war, or be entirely unrelated to current events

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.
But since she asked,
"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

This is what happens when untrained ICE agents who meet the lowest possible standards are sent to play action hero.
A U.S. citizen was shot & killed by ICE in Minneapolis.
📌 Eyewitnesses, including a city councilman, say police shot the person in the head. That person is now dead.

The word “hero” gets thrown around too often, but Ahmed Al Ahmed truly fits the description.
A good guy *without* a gun who put his life on the line preventing further harm and tragedy.
May he recover quickly from his wounds and be treated with the respect he deserves.
My heart is with 🇦🇺.

A heroic moment in this anti-semitic tragedy.
The hero here is a 43 yo Lebanese immigrant and fruit stand owner named
Ahmed Al Ahmed who was shot twice in the arm (apparently bt the other gunman) after wrestling the gun away.
He will be fine according to a relative.

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.
The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Miller complaining about protestors-- "respectable" old white ones, no less!-- is a strong sign that
1) they are scared of protest;
2) protests are happening; and
3) they are having an impact, even if the media refuses to cover them.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
