Republicans don’t fear their kids becoming trans, they just hate trans humans and use their kids as an excuse to do so.

Old white man down the street, I think his name’s Ron, scraping a Trump 2028 sticker off the back of his truck. I gave him a thumbs up as I drove by on my way to work. He flipped me off. Lol. 😎

Ken Paxton Appears at Controversial MAGA Megachurch That Also Serves as Polling Place. ("[Hagee] recognized Ken Paxton ... then announced early voting starts tomorrow ... Highlighting a candidate ... violates IRS rules for tax-exempt nonprofits.") christiannightmares.substack…

The REAL results of DEMS in charge of Congress: effective legislating, less corruption, less chaos, more accountability, economic justice, lower prices, less war, less lying.
Republicans must hold our majority, because the results of a Democrat victory would be disastrous: big government socialism, higher prices and taxes, reopened borders, surging crime, and chaos in Congress.

The real question is why doesn’t traditional federal medicare cover routine dental or eye exams…
California expanded Medi-Cal to illegal immigrants — including dental and vision. Meanwhile, traditional Medicare doesn’t generally cover routine dental or eye exams. How does that make sense? 🤔

Ken Paxton has dodged every debate, a CNN town hall, and, according to a sworn statement, a man standing in his own driveway. dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-we…

Texans DON’T want an unfaithful adulterer, thief, lawbreaker, and pedophile-protecting crook like @KenPaxtonTX representing them! #VoteBlueTexas #VoteBlue2026
.@benfergusonshow nails it here. Do Texans want to mutilate children and sterilize children? No. Do Texans want men in women’s sports? No. Do Texans want higher gas prices? No. Do Texans want to get rid of cattle? No. James Talarico belongs in California, not Texas.

A former FBI supervisor is alleging that senior Trump officials pushed agents to investigate protesters in early 2025 despite internal concerns that their activities were protected speech. Jill Fields filed her whistleblower disclosure with Congress and submitted her testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee. One incident involved people using megaphones in California to warn neighbors about immigration agents, which she alleges Trump demanded an investigation into. She also alleged retaliation within the FBI after she voiced constitutional and procedural objections to opening investigations into speech-related activities. Fields was stripped of her leadership role in several FBI programs. The whistleblower report also said that supervisors deliberately gave instructions in face-to-face meetings and ordered agents not to document directives in writing. This lack of a paper trail suggests an internal awareness that the directives violated standard DOJ and FBI compliance protocols. For context, FBI guidelines strictly forbid opening domestic terrorism or criminal intelligence cases based solely on First Amendment-protected activities. I'm no stranger to the investigative machinery of the USA. The feds violated my rights and subpoenaed my private data during Trump's first term. The fact of the matter is FBI agents are being diverted away from major transnational organized crime and drug cartel investigations... to focus on protesters and social media users. It's ridiculous. How many violent criminals are getting away just so feds can dig into civilians exercising their First Amendment rights? This is obviously a very dangerous compromise of public safety to serve radical, extremist, far-right political objectives.

Ari is confusing having a medical degree with having permission to practice medicine. That's two entirely different conversations, buddy.

He's a doctor because he has a doctorate. Whether he can write you a medical prescription is entirely irrelevant. The end.

You didn’t say he’s not a registered physician who’s never practiced. You said he’s not a doctor, which is flat false. But you’re also the guy who made 109 false statements about WMDs in Iraq when you worked for Bush so I guess it not new for you to lie. cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/23/…
He’d be arrested if he tried to treat a patient. He’s not even allowed to write a prescription. He’s unlicensed. He wears a lab coat and pretends to be a doctor when he’s not one. Just try to make an appointment with him and let me know how it goes.

Hey, @AriFleischer - It's no surprise that you're disrespecting a professional with multiple advanced degrees who earned the honorific "Doctor" twice. How many post-doc degrees have YOU earned, Ari? What a scumbag you are!

What John Roberts wrote: “The President is not above the law.” What John Roberts did, in the same ruling: gave presidents immunity from prosecution for official acts. Most people don’t know Congress can impeach a chief justice. Spread it.
