I asked a Christian baker to write Charlie Kirk on a gay wedding cake and we've been staring at each other for 39 straight hours now

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

No, Trump Hasn’t β€˜Settled Seven Wars’ And he should be called out on that claim every time he makes it.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

Bailing out a failed libertarian austerity agenda in Argentina...

"That's just how it is."

I can't believe MSNBC is falling for this "anti-ice" on the bullet thing. The shooter's brother says he wasn't political and didn't have strong feelings about ICE. Where's the scrutiny?

I am a trans, antifa, illegal immigrant, who drinks Bud Light and listens to Taylor Swift music while aborting my 2-month-old baby.

I don't know, this seems pretty incriminating

I would add a couple of qualifiers: Kimmel must be reinstated on the conditions that he doesn’t have to tone down his humor at all & doesn’t have to donate to Kirk’s TPUSA.

I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE. An interview with Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic House candidate in Illinois, who was violently thrown to the ground twice at a peaceful protest in Illinois on Friday morning.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

What are you even talking about? Antifa isn’t some centralized group with a leader, bank account, or membership card. It’s a loose movement, more of an idea. Trying to designate it as if it’s Al-Qaeda makes as much sense as calling β€œpunk rock” a terrorist org.

I should add that even some on the right are saying the text exchange looks phony & not at all like 22-year-olds text.

Dr. Susan Monarez: β€œI could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”

A link to PDF of the charging document. Beginning on p.6 & continuing on p.7 is a summary of what suspect's mom told the police re her son's changing political views. (Has dad's input too.) Then there's more re roommate, incl. the incriminating text exchange.

Charlie Kirk shooting suspect charged with aggravated murder as new case details are released Authorities have not revealed a clear motive in the shooting, but a prosecutor said the suspect wrote in a text about Kirk to his partner: β€œI had enough of his hatred."

What's worse about it is that the right is doubling down on using this case to vilify all LGBTQ as well as all the left. Worse now b/c of reports indicating suspect *recently* turned left & hated Kirk's anti-trans messaging. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/nationa...

In Pam Bondi's America bakers may refuse to make cakes for gay or trans people, medical pros may refuse to provide women with complete healthcare, military personnel may refuse vaccination ordersβ€”all for "religous" or "conscience" reasonsβ€”but an Office Depot employee may not refuse to print a flyer.
