Trump: "The crime numbers [in D.C.] get worse."
Official statistics: Violent crime in D.C. is at a 30-year low.

A thread on manufactured outrage - a specialty almost exclusive to the Right.

Sheffield is an ex-Republican, and ex-manufacturer of said outrage, which they call #nutpicking.

So no, we're not losing OUR minds. Republicans are - intentionally.

Carry on.

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it!

The EPA announced that it has terminated collective bargaining agreements with five unions representing thousands of employees.

They’re here. MAGA trolls in “Democrat” skin...posing as allies to stir chaos. They push hopelessness, division, and “give up” talk. If an account spends more time bashing Dems than pressuring GOP...your radar should be screaming.

Illegal military occupation ✅
Forced into central camps ✅
Authorized Final Plan ✅

For those who are still silent—What mental gymnastics are yall doing to pretend this is anything But Israel committing genocide of Palestinians?🤔

Jordy Meiselas: ICE didn't just lower the age requirement—they removed the age requirement. Now, at any age—you can go and join. They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

RFK Jr. pulls funding for vaccines being developed to fight respiratory viruses The projects — 22 of them — are being led by some of the nation’s leading pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna to prevent flu, COVID-19 and H5N1 infections.

Those mRNA vaccine programs that RFK Jr. is killing because he claims they don't work?

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t).

I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.

Disgusting.

This WILL end very badly for the U.S. economy.

This admin is already cooking the books to make it look like things are remaining

Oh I have been waiting on this one.
