The really interesting things about all of Donald Trump’s tweets about Marjorie Taylor Greene is that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

Clearly the thing to do now is for Congress to call Mark Epstein in, put him under oath, and ask him whom “Bubba” was referencing in their email exchange. For maximum spectacle.

I'm 68 and I've seen unusual things - but nothing quite like this.

I believe many of our own elected "leaders" are intentionally trying to harm our own country. And they are being paid Big Money to do so.

✝️ Standing on God’s Word
To those who speak falsely, spread lies, or stir up conflict, I choose to respond with the truth of Scripture, not anger. God’s Word reminds us:
📖 “A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will not go free.” – Proverbs 19:5
📖 “Do not speak evil against one another, brothers.” – James 4:11
📖 “There are six things the LORD hates… a lying tongue… a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict.” – Proverbs 6:16–19
Even in the face of slander or hate, I will walk in love and truth, because Jesus commands us to bless our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44).
💛 I forgive, but I will not stand for lies. My hope is in Christ, who is the Righteous Judge.

A brutally savage Russian airstrike with an aerial bomb on the rural settlement of Yarova in the Donetsk region. Directly on people. Ordinary civilians. At the very moment when pensions were being disbursed. According to preliminary information, more than 20 people were killed. There are no words… My condolences to all the families and loved ones of the victims.

Such Russian strikes must not be left without an appropriate response from the world. The Russians continue destroying lives while avoiding new strong sanctions and new strong blows. The world must not remain silent. The world must not remain idle. A response is needed from the United States. A response is needed from Europe. A response is needed from the G20. Strong actions are needed to make Russia stop bringing death.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

I hope y'all are watching Rachel Maddow. She just played the recording of Ghislaine Maxwell telling Trump lawyer Todd Blanche that several members of Trump's cabinet were friends w/Jeffrey Epstein. Did Blanche ask for names? Nope. Blanche pretended he didn't hear it and moved on.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

I blame the White House press corps for the disrespect shown to Yamiche Alcindor by trump.

Telling a grown woman to be quiet and calling her "2nd rate?" It's disgraceful that he's allowed to get away with it repeatedly.

Stand together and push back.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

JD “I don’t give a shit” Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the “highest and best use of the military.”

Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird?

Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation??

What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial.

Trump regime ICE forces assaulted and kidnapped a mother on her way to pick up her children from school, this is what they are doing all over the country. #StopICE

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

I debated whether to share my story on here, but I guess I will.

I think there's an idea out there that millions of violent criminals are pouring across the border, carrying machetes and drugs, looking to harm Americans. Certainly, while some people fall into that category, the vast majority of undocumented immigrants don't.

My family escaped Vietnam after the Tet Offensive and went through an arduous journey that eventually landed them in the Canada. My father worked there for a time as a janitor; my mother, a secretary. When work fell through, my dad was offered to work with his sister in the United States, so he went, as our family needed money. He ended up staying in the US longer than he was supposed to — not knowing immigration laws — and asked my mom to come be with him. Of course, she went and carried me over the border while I was still a baby.

I'm still unsure whether we technically broke an immigration law. The border between Canada and the United States was pretty porous (as it is today, for the most part). But either way, since I came here without legal documentation, I eventually fell into the category of being an undocumented immigrant. Yet, I've been in the United States since I was a baby. My identity and roots are very much based in this country, no different from anyone else.

The lack of legal immigration has totally shaped my life. It has made every interaction with the law much scarier. It has shaped which opportunities I could or could not get. It has taken an emotional toll, as this legal issue hangs over your head like a black cloud.

There are millions of people in my situation — people who were brought here as children, some babies, and were unable to raise their hand during this process and say "maybe we should hire a lawyer." Parents may have crossed the border not knowing about the law, as the law can be pretty confusing and lawyers are expensive. Perhaps, in the end, they should have hired a lawyer; but sometimes life is messy. In the end, they crossed for the same reason many people rise every day: to support their families.

I think it's unreasonable to deport millions of people who have contributed positively to society. It's simply not true that the majority of these people are violent criminals carrying drugs. Many own small businesses; many work as skilled laborers (including garment workers!). The vast majority are good, honest people. For those of us who grew up in the United States, sending us "back" to our "home" country would mean sending someone to a foreign land, as they grew up in the United States. Tearing families apart based on immigration status seems inhumane.

About twenty years ago, I watched with some small measure of hope that the Dream ACT would pass and help a portion of undocumented immigrants. I saw people march angrily in the streets (something I supported). But I was dismayed to see nothing really come about. In fact, when Obama passed DACA, I was skeptical that it would be sensible to give your information to the federal government without a guaranteed path to citizenship. It seems that the Trump administration may use those lists to hunt down immigrants.

I think the ICE sweeps are inhumane. I support and admire the protestors who are putting their bodies on the line for non-violent resistance. Ultimately, I think we need to solve this issue on a systemic level. It's unreasonable to me to expect that the government will deport some 10-20 million people. Even deporting 1 million will cause an insane amount of chaos, not to mention an incredible amount of wasteful government spending. The militarization of law enforcement is over the top and only escalate the situation.

I have seen people march on this issue, only for it to be dropped later and dissolve into quiet grumbles. In the end, nothing is done for immigrants. Time passes until decades later, we have another political crisis like the one we have today. This cycle seems unsustainable. I hope people sustain this energy to solve the immigration issue and put undocumented immigrants — most who are peaceful, skilled, and hard-working citizens — on a path to citizenship. As time continues to go by, many undocumented immigrants are seeing their lives wasted away.

If you care about this issue, I hope you get involved on the long haul: volunteer for pro-immigrant groups, donate to mutual aid, and perhaps pursue career paths that help people in this situation. I was moved to read someone on here say that, when they found their employee was undocumented, they helped them get a green card. The path was difficult, as our immigration system is broken (it took them 11 years). But I can tell you that this is like pulling someone drowning in raging waters.

Ultimately, I hope me sharing this story helps push back against the idea that all undocumented immigrants are MS-13 members. I know many people in my position and they are all like your neighbors.

This is such wonderful news for Florida. @davidjollyfl will bring Democrats, Republicans, & Independents together to actually get stuff done to help improve the lives of everyone in Florida. David is the real deal. I am so excited for, and happily endorse, his candidacy.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Holy shit. On 60 Minutes, trial attorney John Keker accused Trump of an impeachable offense for arranging free legal work: “he’w violating the rule that says you can't offer a thing of value…for an official act. That happens to (be defined) as bribery."

@donwinslow @amazon Thank you, @donwinslow. I just borrowed both the digital and Kindle versions from my library. I am so stressed I can barely catch my breath and will start reading tonight before I completely lose it.
