C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention!

This β€œThird Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about β€œthe deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs).

Telehealth appts are needed & necessary!
My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🀬

And we’re not alone!

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Our coup got coupier. Our authoritarianism got more authoritarian. And of course this is stupidity as a battering ram against what is legal and constitutional, because they weaponize stupidity.

Under Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan, Some Migrants Are Being Sent to Panama The administration has asked Panama to take in hundreds of people who can’t easily be sent back to their countries. Many say they are in danger.

β€œThey were stripped of their passports and most of their cellphones, they said, and then locked in a hotel, barred from seeing lawyers and told they would soon be sent to a makeshift camp near the Panamanian jungle.”

Establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, itΒ isΒ hereby ordered: Section 1.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a β€œdire threat to the American people and our way of life”.
