I do many things, but I am not the things I do. I am a simple human who cares about others, and want to make this world a better place for all, when all is said and done.
Oh, and ICE are Gestapo.

This is obviously First Amendment protected speech.
Regardless, you know the November election where he wants you to believe that he’s on the ballot?
Believe him. He is absolutely on the ballot. And if you vote for a single Republican, you are voting for economic ruin and dictatorship.

This is literally the head of the Executive Branch that operates the Federal Government openly retaliating because he doesn’t like what is reported and wants more favorable coverage.

What’s this today? Is he doing the whole electric boat and sharks schtick again? It didn’t make sense the first time; makes less sense even now
Trump: "If I'm in an electric boat and I see I'm going down and the water is pouring in, so I know I'm going to be electrocuted, but 5 yards away there are sharks. Do I take the electrocution or do I go swimming with the sharks? I'll take the electrocution."

Sitting federal judges almost never give interviews to the press about the administration of justice. At most you get vague book talks or law school lecture series, and even those are predominantly from SCOTUS justice.
This is a Paul Revere-level ringing of alarm bells for the rule of law.

Trump is still the dumbest twat this nation has ever seen in a President.
He is surrounded by arse-licking morons, and sounds smart only to literal idiots. And yet craven sycophants like Speaker Johnson continue to support him while he burns the country down to the ground.

There is no opportunity in which Alito and Thomas will not show their true selves: invested ony in pursuing their political agenda with their, ”Damn the Law! Damn the Constitution!” battle cry.
In upside-down world, Justice Alito blames "the plaintiff States and the courts" for causing the late timing of USPS' attempt to interfere in mail voting by suing to stop it.
Unmentioned by Alito: USPS issued the rule in violation of an injunction.

I dunno Donnie. I think that—based on evidence—your bad life choices are the reason fuel prices, and the economy in general, are in the shit.
