Most people do not yet realize that we are already in a fascist dictatorship. The Supreme Court and the Congress have lain down. Media and corporations are bending the knee. Trump is consolidating his power, violating laws and the Constitution, and people are huddling in fear. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

33 million voters have been run through a Trump administration citizenship check Tens of millions of voters have had their information run through the tool โ€” a striking portion of the U.S. public, considering little has been made public about the tool's accuracy or data security.

Joe Wilson
@RepJoeWilson

Russia is attacking NATO ally Poland with Iranian shahed drones less than a week after President Trump hosted President Nawrocki at the White House. This is an act of war, and we are grateful to NATO allies for their swift response to war criminal Putin's continued unprovoked aggression against free and productive nations. I urge President Trump to respond with mandatory sanctions that will bankrupt the Russian war machine and arm Ukraine with weapons capable of striking Russia. Putin is no longer content just losing in Ukraine while bombing mothers and babies, he is now directly testing our resolve in NATO territory. Putin stated that "Russia knows no borders." Free and prosperous nations will teach Russia about borders.

Rep. Joe Wilson, Ranking Member on the House Committee on Armed Services, just released a statement on Russia attacking our #NATO ally #Poland with Iranian shahed drones.

โ€œWhen you see important societal actors โ€” be it university presidents, media outlets, C.E.O.s, mayors, governors โ€” changing their behavior in order to avoid the wrath of the government, thatโ€™s a sign that weโ€™ve crossed the line into some form of authoritarianism,โ€ www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

Hey media, and hell, dems too... Stop saying DOGE is cutting programs and firing people. Congress controls the "purse" Congress controls funding. Congress is run by Republicans. So Republicans are cutting funding and firing everyone. Give them the credit they deserve.

We have a Russian president, who rolled in a Trojan horse full of Russians for his cabinet, along with a crazy cocktail of gaslit dimwits and religious zealots who hold their nose and look the other way to get their agenda advanced.

While he sells out USA and Ukraine to the highest bidder.
