@RoKhanna @daxtonbrown Is it just me, or do Democrats sound like parents who keep promising a trip to Disneyland that never happens? The promises get bigger every year, but the roadmap for getting there never seems to materialize.

@AlexPadilla4CA You’re a lying clown and embarrassment to the Latino community!

What I want to know is why some people (this fool and @RepJeffries) feel compelled to punctuate every sentence with wild hand gestures. Hasn't anyone told them it makes them look unserious? If your argument can stand on its own, it doesn't need a full theatrical performance to sell it.

[Juan H ◻️ @ZeroMalarki]

The problem with your analysis is that it begins where the investigation ends. You skip over the facts that allegedly gave rise to the stop and jump straight to declaring a rights violation.

As someone who speaks Spanish, I find it amusing to watch people confidently explain a conversation they clearly don't understand. If the officers observed him crossing the river and then encountered him soaking wet, asking questions about how he got there is not exactly Sherlock Holmes-level police work.

Not every interaction with law enforcement is racist. Not every detention is unconstitutional. And not every person with a social media account is a constitutional law expert, no matter how many legal buzzwords they can pull from Google.

@nithyavraman I could never be a politician, particularly a corrupt one. The thought of trading my integrity for power, and then spending years looking over my shoulder at the prospect of prison, would make my stomach hurt.

@overton_news It’s not that even a dog can vote, it’s that they always vote Democrat.

Karmelo Anthony’s use of deadly force was not self-defense under Texas law but unlawful escalation, intentional, criminal, and fatal. @CityOfFriscoTx @Frisco_news

Under Texas Penal Code § 9.31, a person is justified in using force (not deadly force) if they reasonably believe it’s immediately necessary to protect themselves. § 9.32 allows for deadly force only if the actor reasonably believes it’s necessary to prevent the other’s use of deadly force or to stop certain violent crimes like aggravated assault. And crucially, § 46.03 prohibits carrying a deadly weapon, like a knife with a blade over 5.5 inches, at a school-sponsored event. Possession alone is a crime.

Self-defense does not grant a license to kill simply because someone’s feelings are hurt or their space is invaded. The law demands proportionality. When two teens square up in a fistfight, one of them doesn’t get to reach into a bag, retrieve a strategically-placed deadly weapon, and plunge it into the other’s chest.

Let’s be clear: Karmelo brought a knife to a school sporting event, a criminal act under § 46.03. He stored it in his bag, not on his person, meaning he had to stop, open the bag, and retrieve the weapon. That moment of deliberation severs the thread of instinct and ties a noose of intent. One does not fumble for a blade mid-frenzy. One prepares. And in that preparation, mens rea is born. @KenPaxtonTX

Karmelo wasn't reacting in blind terror. He had a weapon at the ready, and that reality didn’t make him more vulnerable; it made him more willing. Willing to engage. Willing to escalate. And ultimately, willing to kill.

Even if #AustinMetcalf acted like a jerk, even if he was the schoolyard’s most decorated bully, #karmeloAnthony had a legal and nonviolent remedy: walk away, find an adult, or throw a punch if truly cornered. What he did instead was unleash deadly force in response to non-deadly aggression. No jury in Texas will be convinced that two high schoolers trash-talking under a track tent posed a reasonable threat of death or serious bodily injury, and.

Furthermore, invoking “no duty to retreat” is laughable when one voluntarily arms oneself in a prohibited location, then escalates a minor conflict. One cannot both break the law and claim its protection.

This wasn’t #selfdefense. This was a calculated response to a bruised ego, executed with a criminal weapon, in a setting where its presence was illegal. Karmelo Anthony will not walk free because someone yelled in his direction. He’ll be convicted because he brought a knife to a fistfight and used it to end a life. That’s not standing your ground. That’s digging a grave.

@TrantPj29506 @GavinNewsom Now I understand why politicians like Newsom continue to thrive; there are plenty of people willing to believe and defend every lie they tell.

If you have to be a natural-born citizen to be President, you should have to be one to serve in Congress.

I introduced a constitutional amendment to make it the law.

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

If you were not born in America, you should not hold power in our government.

End of story.

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

Ilhan Omar. Shri Thanedar. Pramila Jayapal. All born in foreign countries, none were citizens by birth. All sitting in the United States Congress. All making clear every single day their loyalty is not to America.

We just introduced a long overdue joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to require Members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers to be natural born citizens. This is the very same standard the President and Vice President are already required to meet.

The people writing America's laws, confirming America's judges, and representing America on the world stage should have one loyalty: America. Not any other country.

For too long we have allowed foreign born members to hold seats in this government while making clear they are America last, not America first. We see it every day. This constitutional amendment will put an end to it.
