Trump is against the freedom of the media.

I’d rather my tax dollars go to feeding children and universal healthcare than war and whatever this bullshit is.

[Dem Saints @LDS_Dems]

The dumbest thing I have ever heard. It would only take one drone to take out a nuclear plant or a gas power plant. It would take dozens of drones to have an impact on a wind farm or a solar farm.

Is there anyone left who still buys this nonsense?

[Nate Blouin @NateForUtah]

I entered this race for one reason: this district deserves better than Ben McAdams. Our new congressional district is bluer than the state of Massachusetts. It should be represented by a real progressive, not a conservative Democrat like McAdams backed by big tech and Trump megadonors.

He's either lying now, or has been lying for months, or doesn't actually know what's going on.

All 3 of these things are likely true.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

The leader of American Gestapo is both dumb as a rock and purely evil

@BasedMikeLee Glad to have my friend Jack Stauss fighting on the front lines.

[Nate Blouin @NateForUtah]

Codify the roadless rule and rescind @BasedMikeLee.

Everything that Republicans warned you about "big government" is coming to fruition under Republicans

Hard to top this level of dystopia. Have health insurance through the ACA? The Trump Admin is going to turn your health insurer into a loan shark you borrow money from if you can't afford to pay your portion of medical procedures and you get to pay them back with interest! 🙄

[Bonhoeffer's Child @bonhoefferchild]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but detainees at Guantanamo Bay aren’t convicted/sentenced of crimes.

When summary execution becomes part of the American system it’s because we’ve chosen madmen to leads us and we’re lost.

America’s day is over. Act accordingly.

[Pablo Manríquez @PabloReports]

DHS stopped reporting got-aways early in Trump's second term. The border has been fairly open ever since. Been saying this for over a year.

"In the end, we’re right back where we started in January 2025: an administration asserting that Trump’s election meant he has the right to completely dictate all government policy and spending unilaterally." https://t.co/QG8Jg5lBWG

[Mona Burns @Monaheart1229]

"So, to recap: Trump issues executive orders that are nothing but memorializations of his bigotry. OMB then pretends that these things are actually law and therefore apply to the entire executive branch and, by extension, the entire country .."
This is a very important piece:

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

Florida voters unequivocally banned gerrymandering for partisan gain in their Constitution, which nobody denies is exactly what was done here, but GOP judges are GOP operatives and therefore “so what.”

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

🚨Trump is going to deport Iranian women who PROVED to an immigration court that they would be persecuted in Iran to the Central African Republic, a country so dangerous to others the U.S. recommends no American travel there.

Trump is destroying this country's legacy of freedom!

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

Unsurprising, but still absolutely demonic, that this administration’s only reason for not pardoning convicted underage sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is that it would create a huge PR problem.

[Turnbull @cturnbull1968]

Hard to believe that an intelligent, articulate and popular mayor is unable to get along with an uneducated nitwit with a Napoleonic complex and 50 gallon cowboy hat.

[Taylor G. Petrey @TaylorPetrey]

I see this in my mentions a bit. Radicalized conservatives are leaving the LDS church over political disagreements. While the church has not been great about retaining liberals, the antisocial divisiveness of the far right has quantifiably undercut the church at higher rates.
