✈️ Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.
All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Make no mistake the immigration practices of the U.S.’s current regime are racist and most of the time have NO basis for detainment or deportation. Deportation only occurs because the regime is breaking the law and not following Due Process. I do not agree w/this regime at all.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public President Theodore Roosevelt

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.
