If you are an elective representative of the United States, and you are siding with dictators who are anti-democracy and berating leaders trying to preserve democracy, you are a traitor, no matter how many eyeballs you lose in combat.

[Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX]

If you are the leader of a country in a dire situation with no path to peace without American support, do not come into the Oval Office and argue with the President of the United States in public. Just a word of advice.

BREAKING: Epstein survivor Dani Bensky moments ago about attending Trump's State of the Union address:

“How can anyone feel safe in this country when our President’s sympathies are going to the former Prince Andrew and not to survivors?”

She then went on to list 3 things that need to be done immediately!

1) Where are the rest of the files?
2) Why are there no investigations when there are plenty of people in these files to investigate?
3) Why is the FBI Director out there partying like a college kid when he should be investigating the vast criminal enterprise?

“Release the Damn Files!”

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

JUST IN: Robert Garcia just CONFIRMED there IS a survivor who made SERIOUS allegations against Donald Trump — and that the FBI interviewed her.

And now her files are MISSING.

“Why these documents are missing is a critical question for the DOJ.”

WOW!!! JUST GOT A CALL FROM A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE (TOP LEVEL) THAT DONALD TRUMP IS FURIOUS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM (GOVERNOR OF THE FREE WORLD) HAVE COMPLETELY “HIJACKED” THE NEWS ON HIS “BIG SPEECH DAY” WITHOUT EVEN TRYING. FOX NEWS IS WALL-TO-WALL COVERAGE OF ME AND MY “ROAD SHOW.” MY RATINGS ARE THROUGH THE ROOF! MUCH BETTER THAN DOZY’S. PEOPLE ARE NOW SAYING THAT I SHOULD DELIVER THE SPEECH INSTEAD OF TRUMP’S “STATE OF THE SNOOZE.” I WOULD CRUSH IT. EVEN WITH DYSLEXIA. ESPECIALLY WITH DYSLEXIA! UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE, I DON’T NEED THE TELEPROMPTER (VERY ADVANCED SKILL, VERY RARE). I MEMORIZE. IT’S CALLED PREPARATION. LOOK IT UP, DON! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! —GOVERNOR GCN

HEY DUMBURGER. IF YOU FINISHED 2ND GRADE YOU'D KNOW GEOGRAPHY. IF YOU FINISHED 1ST GRADE YOU'D KNOW THAT 1700 IS BIGGER THAN 55. IF YOU FINISHED PRESCHOOL YOU WOULDN'T GLOAT ABOUT RECOGNIZING A GIRAFFE AFTER THREE HOURS. SAD. --GCN ("C" IS FOR COLLEGE GRADUATE.)

Renee Good was killed by the government and every high profile republican supported it.

DONALD TRUMP CREATES THIS NEW VIOLENT ICE. DONALD TRUMP CREATES THIS NEW LAWLESS FBI. DONALD TRUMP'S ICE KILLS AN AMERICAN WOMAN. DONALD TRUMP'S FBI IMMEDIATELY SHUTS DOWN THE INVESTIGATION. WHO'S FAULT IS THIS?

BIDEN'S OF COURSE.

The owners of the 400,000,000 guns in America appear to be allowing fascists to take over the nation without a fight, so there goes the “the Second Amendment is necessary to protect us from our government” argument.

Rep. Jason Crow: "As a three-time combat veteran, I get pretty damn hot when a five-time draft dodger bangs the war drums and talks about how easy it is to send boots on the ground in a foreign country."

Finally, the United States is waking up 🚨

Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line, and it matters more than most people seem to realize.

“If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.”

That is not rhetoric. That is the law. And he is putting everyone on notice.

This is how a constitutional system is supposed to work. Civilian control. Congressional authority. No freelance militarism because a president feels impulsive or humiliated or bored. Orders that violate the Constitution are not orders. They are illegal commands, and obedience is not a defense.

What I like here is the timing. This is not said after the damage is done. It is a preemptive warning. A flare shot into the sky saying: think very carefully before you cross this line.

For years, too many people in Washington treated norms as vibes and laws as suggestions. This is a reminder that the system still has teeth if people are willing to use them. And that responsibility does not magically disappear when you put on a uniform.

More of this please. Clear boundaries. Plain language. Zero ambiguity. That is how you stop bad ideas before they turn into irreversible disasters.

🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol just illegally arrested a U.S. citizen… a TEENAGER… in Richfield, Minnesota.

The teen was working at Target when agents tackled him and arrested him, while his passport was in his pocket, fully identifying himself as a U.S. citizen.

None of it mattered.

Why? Because he looked Latino.

When a coworker asked who to call, he said, heartbreakingly: “my mom.”

Think about that. Your teenage son goes to work, and Border Patrol kidnaps him.

This isn’t an isolated incident. ICE and Border Patrol have repeatedly illegally arrested U.S. citizens, especially in Minnesota. And after agents murdered a U.S. citizen who tried to drive away from illegal detention, this should outrage every single American.

U.S. citizens do not have to prove their citizenship. Yet, ICE and Border Patrol agents are routinely violating the Constitution, demanding proof anyway… and even refusing to accept drivers licenses or real IDs.

And now? Even a passport doesn’t matter.

This isn’t enforcement… it’s targeting Americans based on fear and appearance, treating citizens like criminals in their own country.

When will this end? When will the government stop stripping citizens of their rights and labeling them terrorists for simply existing?

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

Pro Tip: If you're a full armored ICE agent with an AR-15, a pistol, taser, pepper spray & 20 agents backing you up, and you STILL need to shoot an unarmed woman driving away, you're a pathetic weakling who deserves only a dingy prison cell to rot in for life.

They are shooting people in blue cities and trying to start a riot.

This is full on Nazi playbook bs!

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

While you watch what took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, remember that when the Nazis and Hitler’s Gestapo killed innocent people in Germany, they too gaslit the public into believing those people were criminals.

The only way a government can get away with killing people is by selling the narrative that that killing was justified.

Believe what you see with your own eyes, not what Donald Trump is telling you you saw.
