Standing against fascism is now domestic terrorism, by presidential decree. Anyone committed to fighting fascism can now be deemed an enemy of the state, arrested and held—possibly without full due process—on the claim that they're a "terrorist."

Just like that, we lost America. - Seth Abramson

Apparently, Marjorie Taylor Greene Is An Attention Hog
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) joined the chorus of hard-right influencers posting their past text messages from Charlie Kirk as the MAGA world debates Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson’s claim that Kirk had turned against Israel. Owens has gone on to wildly claim Kirk was feeling “blackmailed” by Israel ahead of his death despite Kirk being one of the most vocal pro-Israel voices on the right.

Is Amy Coney Barret Signaling That She's OK With Martial Law?
And I think it is a sign of a culture that has– where political discourse has soured beyond control and something that we need to really pull back. I mean, obviously, well, I assume that the person who murdered Charlie Kirk was mentally ill, but nonetheless, you know, to create a culture in which political discourse can lead to political violence is unacceptable in the United States.

If you voted for a man who had cops beaten on the Capitol steps for a lie, please, tell us more about how you hate political violence.

Tell us how Christian you are, too.

President Donald Trump scolded a reporter who questioned him about his increased personal wealth since taking office.

Speaking with reporters on the White House lawn Tuesday, the president fielded a question about his net worth from a journalist with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation...“Well, I’m really not, my kids are running the business,” Trump replied — before attacking the reporter. “Where are you from?”

“I’m from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation,” the reporter said.

“In my opinion, you are hurting Australia very much right now. And they want to get along with me. You know, your leader is coming over to see me very soon. I’m going to tell him about you. You set a very bad tone,” Trump fumed.
