Grok, Who is responsible for the gutting of USAID, which you concluded has resulted in the deaths of 300,000 people?

@nunya_ray @CMWhitburnD3 @10News @ABC @CBS8 @CBSNews @Telemundo @kcranews @voiceofsandiego @fox5sandiego Now that's respect for the law. Violent threats against public officials. You may want to review this: https://t.co/9x98QFWoA5

@uncleoomie @CMWhitburnD3 @10News @ABC @CBS8 @CBSNews @Telemundo @kcranews @voiceofsandiego @fox5sandiego Who, specifically is here illegally? How do you know that? Names and evidence please. US citizens understand that arrest is not conviction. That's what due process means - one of the founding principles of this nation, which is enshrined in the Constitution.

@Migsoler_M @CMWhitburnD3 @10News @ABC @CBS8 @CBSNews @Telemundo @kcranews @voiceofsandiego @fox5sandiego Due process is when the accused get to fight the charges. Until then it's just arrest with the presumption of innocence. In the US, anyway, under the Constitution. Not sure whether you agree with our founding document.

@NathanV6778 @CMWhitburnD3 @10News @ABC @CBS8 @CBSNews @Telemundo @kcranews @voiceofsandiego @fox5sandiego Just curious. Who broke the law, specifically? What evidence do you have? Who was taken away? What are their names and what did they do? And what justifies the Gestapo tactics?

@Christo00509847 @CMWhitburnD3 @10News @ABC @CBS8 @CBSNews @Telemundo @kcranews @voiceofsandiego @fox5sandiego 'Infested' is an interesting word to use when referring to people. Didn't the Nazis like that word? Curious what specific documentation you have to prove any particular nursery employee is in the country illegally.

@jonnybadboi @CMWhitburnD3 @10News @ABC @CBS8 @CBSNews @Telemundo @kcranews @voiceofsandiego @fox5sandiego The rule of law doesn't include handcuffing totally innocent people. At least according to our constitution. Not sure where you're from.

@OC_Scanner @CMWhitburnD3 @10News @ABC @CBS8 @CBSNews @Telemundo @kcranews @voiceofsandiego @fox5sandiego Hmm. Curious.

In 2024, San Diego experienced a decrease in overall crime rates for the third consecutive year, making it one of the safest big cities in the nation. Homicides, shootings, robberies, and sexual assaults all saw significant drops.

Musk is killing people and doing so intentionally. Must make him happy.

My question exactly. Those who are promoting and condoning bigotry were eager to reinstate this hateful racist with no expectation of apology or sign of remorse. This is clear signaling to legions of bigots in MAGA.

[Damien Cave @damiencave]

Honest question for @vp too: Did Elez ask for forgiveness or apologize for his statements? All my Catholic schooling says grace follows confession, remorse and a promise to change.

[Jason Hart @jasonahart]

Why *wouldn't* @marcorubio hire Darren Beattie - fired from the first Trump Admin for speaking at a white nationalist conference - as acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs? https://t.co/G0sEOSBD17 🧵

[Eric Columbus @EricColumbus]

Darren Beattie, the new head of public diplomacy at State, spent January 6 telling various black people — including Tim Scott — to “learn their place” and “take a knee to MAGA”

[Tom Lebhar @Tom_Lebhar]

@DougTenNapel This is a lie. The prayer was not written or recited by Jefferson. The Thomas Jefferson Foundation has debunked this myth. The Bible commands us to not lie. You are repeating untruths. Please explain and ask God for forgiveness.

If the neoliberal period from Reagan to Trump 1 was a throwback to the Gilded Age, we’ve now jumped straight back to the 19th century. Or maybe just Russia.

[Tom Lebhar @Tom_Lebhar]

It looks like American conservatism is back to the familiar territory of oligarchs vs Archie Bunker blue-collar bigots, but this time it’s more of a “shut up and listen to your superiors” approach. There’s no hint of trickle-down justifications here.

@RossSchumann @AaronParnas No evidence

[Tom Lebhar @Tom_Lebhar]

@AaronParnas It’s called obedience in advance and it’s common among businesses before an authoritarian takeover.
