. @Lawrence One of my ancestors was in the Missouri militia allied with the Union Army in the Civil War. He was shot in the temple, badly wounded. He was unconscious, which saved his life, because Confederates killed the wounded. This was a despicable act now known as a Hegseth.

@Ancestry Thank you.

[Stan Linhorst @StanLinhorst]

@Ancestry Hey, https://t.co/MvqrhNKGUd, was your site hit by the AWS outage? I keep getting this message:
"Our website is unavailable
"What happened?
"We are currently unavailable. Please try again later."
Can you post an update about what is going on? Or email us?
Thanks.

[Stan Linhorst @StanLinhorst]

@NuBeeLuna @Ancestry Yes, a statement would be helpful. Everything else I have is working, so it’s only @Ancestry.

I can’t believe @CNBC hosts are so supportive of troops in U.S. cities. That Benioff segment of apology was bizarre. They should report the news but keep their love of Trump’s war on cities to themselves.

This is the first day since NPR was founded it has not had federal support. And we're here, strong, vital, and with an audience of millions we will keep on serving, no fees, no paywalls, and across all divisions. We hope you'll support your local stations to serve all America.

[Al Franken @alfranken]

Is JD Vance a liar or just woefully ignorant when claiming that Democrats want to give health benefits to undocumented immigrants?

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

How out of touch can Donald Trump’s top economic adviser be?

A 60-year-old couple making $85k/year will have to pay over $22,000 more EVERY YEAR.

TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Support liberty and justice for all. Please join the No Kings movement Oct 18 to speak out against authoritarian rule. It will take all of our voices to overcome the billionaires' money.

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country. And remember, 93% have no record of any violent crimes. This facility, then, is comparable to the internment camps for Japanese Americans during the Second World War. But let's call it what it is: a concentration camp. Jesus wept.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home.

We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

[Democratic Coalition @TheDemCoalition]

Only in America. These two are absolutely shameful.

[Stan Linhorst @StanLinhorst]

@karlykingsley They will come after all the Americans they don’t like - Jews, blacks, women, the wrong brand of “Christians,” union members, the poor, people in rural towns, people in the Midwest who think they are “safe,” anyone who doesn’t bow to the king. There are more, but you get the idea

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

📺 ICE’s acting director says he’s demanding Americans stop criticizing ICE.

Let’s be very clear:
The First Amendment doesn’t ask for permission; it guarantees it.

You don’t get to run a federal agency, carry out mass raids, detain families, and then whine about public outrage.

If you don’t want political backlash,
maybe stop doing things that provoke it.
This is a democracy, not a dictatorship.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

[Stan Linhorst @StanLinhorst]

Cowards and liars.

[Stan Linhorst @StanLinhorst]

ICE agents are masked thugs acting like 7-11 robbers. We have descended into the fascist dictatorship that Trump wanted. @ICEgov agents are Nazis, pure and simple. We are betrayed and America is doomed. They will come and beat you soon.
