Is this pithy observation or shameless self-promotion?

@GeoRebekah All they have to do is search for "did trump cut the NOAA budget" to get their answer.

On America's 250th birthday, we're celebrating the ideas that built the most prosperous, successful nation the world has ever known. Generations sacrificed for these freedoms, and it's our responsibility to protect them for the generations to come. Happy Independence Day.

This man needs to be arrested today for spitting in the face of a judge’s order to release trump’s pedophilia files. Katie Phang, the hero journalist lawyer, won’t let this criminal get away with it.

[Gene Trevino @GenoVeno73]

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT ANYONE SAYS — THIS MAN IS THE REAL MVP, AND A TRUE HERO.

This is Air Force Major Jason Watson's speech that resulted in his arrest on July 1, 2026.

I QUOTE: "In the grand scheme of things, I'm Just a nobody. What matters far more than who I am, is what I have to say, and the price I'm willing to pay to say it."

This man KNEW the trouble he was getting into by standing there in his military uniform, and he was willing to pay that price by sacrificing his entire military career so others can understand the dire situation of the current state of this country.

I can only aspire to obtain this type of bravery and courage.

250 years ago, this country was founded on a radical idea that government answers to the people.

Today, that idea is under attack by a man who embodies the very tyranny our Founders rejected.

Let's honor the promise of America by defending our democracy.

Ransack the U.S. Capitol? Pardoned. Pick up a chunk of floating paint chips in the reflecting pool? Felony.
This country is ridiculous right now.

[Colin Allred @ColinAllredTX]

This is reckless, plain and simple. At a time when families are begging leaders to do more to keep our communities safe, the Trump administration is trying to make it easier to ship guns straight to people’s homes.

We should be closing loopholes, strengthening background checks, and keeping guns out of the wrong hands.

Trump just approved $846 million in disaster aid for nine states, and all nine voted for him in 2024.

Americans in blue states pay the same federal taxes and suffer the same floods, fires, and storms as Americans in red states.

No president in history has treated FEMA as a reward for voting the right way. Every American deserves help when disaster strikes, no matter who their governor is or how their state voted.

This is disgraceful and we will not let it stand.

This may be the image that defines America's 250th birthday.

A woman sits calmly on a Washington Metro train as masked members of the white nationalist and domestic terrorist group Patriot Front surround her.

They covered their faces.

She didn't.

Earlier in the day, Patriot Front marched through the nation's capital carrying Confederate flags and chanting that America must be "reclaimed," the latest expression of a white nationalist movement that has grown increasingly visible, violent, emboldened, and politically influential in recent years.

Their ideology is explicit.

Their courage, apparently, is not.

Not one of them was willing to show his face.

And then there is her.

No mask. No uniform. No fear.

Just an American woman refusing to surrender an inch of her dignity to a group of men who appeared to be seeking exactly that.

The symbolism is almost too perfect.

250 years after the Declaration of Independence, and six decades after Americans marched and died to make its promises apply to everyone, a group of masked white nationalists rode the socialist Metro home in anonymity.

The woman they tried to intimidate is the one America will remember.

The people who hide their faces do not define this country.

The people who refuse to be afraid do.

ICE detain mother holding U.S. citizen daughter—force her to decide about family separation.

Agents refuse to allow her to call the father to come and get the young girl.

Force her to either abandon daughter and leave her alone on sidewalk—or be detained by ICE along with her.

Mother and daughter are then ordered into an unmarked truck and taken away.

The incident occurred in Houston, Texas.

Man filming promised to try and contact the father—to tell him where his family disappeared to.

He doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

He now wants the historic Cherry Trees that were gifted from Japan in 1910 REMOVED, along with the bike path so he can build a golf course.

Guy's! HE'S PLANNING ON CUTTING DOWN THE CHERRY TREES. THE FUCKING CHERRY TREES OF DC.

This better not happen.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

Major Jason Watson is NOT a Democrat.

His protest was NOT about party politics.

It was about what he believes his oath requires of him—and the price he’s willing to pay for speaking out.

Everyone has seen the arrest.

Now hear the courageous powerful speech that came first:

[GOP Ls @GOP__Ls]

🚨 A baby formula producer was under criminal investigation after their formula was repeatedly linked to the deaths of infants.

The Trump Administration has closed that investigation.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: WTF!? Viral video shows a right-wing church in Kentucky staging a mock execution of their enemy while children screech for his blood.

MAGA has taken a very, very dark turn...

Footage of the incident in question shows members of the church dressed in military uniforms and holding realistic-looking rifles and pistols. They are seen escorting a "prisoner" — which some commentators have suggested is meant to represent an undocumented immigrant — to the front of the congregation.

Led by the voice of an adult man, the children chant "Take him out, blow him up!" The soldiers then proceed to act out the extrajudicial execution of their captive while the entire church hoots with bloodlust. The armed men then drag the body out of view to "blow him up" as their pastor has commanded.

We must have missed the chapter in the Bible where Jesus directed his followers to murder people in cold blood. Maybe that section only appears in the official Trump Bible™

According to the Lexington Herald Leader, the mock execution was conducted at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky.

The pastor, Dewayne Walker, responded to the widespread backlash against the clip with the same lack of remorse that is characteristic of the entire Trumper movement.

He claimed to be "befuddled" by the media "firestorm" and insisted that the murder victim was supposed to represent "sin" and "killing the Devil." He went on to blame "this generation" for reacting adversely to the clip, especially since it was "just a small part" of their Vacation Bible School.

Absurdly, he referred to the soldiers as "Commandos for Christ" who bear "the Gospel Gun" as they conduct "spiritual warfare."

"Understand, we're painting a real picture to kids, visibly what's going on invisibly," said Walker.

Excuse us if we doubt his explanation. The Devil is a metaphysical entity. He doesn't wear joggers and a hoodie and he can't be physically executed with an AR-15.

Let's be clear about what's really going on here. Far-right Christians are normalizing violence for children in a religious context. They're teaching these kids that confronting evil requires the use of guns against their enemies. At the same time, Republicans are increasingly referring to Democrats as "Satanic" and "demonic." Put two and two together and you can see where this is going.

Imagine for a second if this had been a mosque and a Muslim congregation had staged armed militants executing someone. Fox News would be running wall-to-wall coverage about how ISIS has taken root in America. But because these fanatics are white Christians, there's nary a peep from the mainstream media.

This stomach-churning incident is emblematic of the Evangelical movement as a whole. These so-called Christians have zero interest in the actual Gospel because that would require them to criticize the rich, care for migrants, and open their hearts to those who are different from them. They'd much rather roleplay as armed murderers marching forth under the banner of a god who bears no resemblance to the biblical Christ.

Please ❤️ and share if you oppose Christian nationalism!

If the highest court in the land decided you sexually assaulted a woman, then Congress should decide to remove you from the highest office in the land.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

The Fourteenth Amendment is clear: If you're born in the United States, you're an American citizen. It’s that simple, no matter what Trump says. It has been the law of the land for over a century, and it’s outrageous that Trump ever tried to take it away in the first place.
