So now Texas is refusing to let Rep Collier leave for not signing their permission slip to have a police escort with her who can arrest her at any time!!!

Hello, Nazi Texas!!!
#DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

NEW:

“I’ve had enough…I’m refusing to back down.”

Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier speaks to MSNBC from the Texas State Capitol. She is stuck there after the Texas GOP required police surveillance as condition for release. She is refusing to sign a waiver for the law enforcement escort.

It is mind blowing to hear Democratic politicians talking about the president sending the military into American cities as a “distraction.” Actually you are all now one degree away from being violently removed from power. The fact that this may not happen does not erase the fact that it may happen.

Folks clapping in front of the chamber door

Here outside the House chamber with folks chanting “LET HER OUT!”

Not only did Elise Stefanik sell her soul to become MAGA

She also gave a full-throated endorsement of a Congressional candidate who made blatantly racist statements about the Obamas and openly admired Hitler

She deserves everything that happens to her

Can’t wait till this portrait of one of our nations greatest and most consequential Presidents is back in its duly earned place in early 2029.

Are the mRNA vaccines incredible? YES!

Are the mRNA vaccines perfect? No.

Have the mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives? YES!

Can we make the mRNA vaccines even better? YES!

Can we use mRNA vaccine technology to prevent and treat many other diseases? YES!

Fund mRNA research!

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

Sure, we can talk about the pros and cons of mail-in ballots, but what’s really bad is when a guy in office needs 1,000 FBI agents to search for his name in the Epstein files to cover up all of his child raping.

Which U.S. Cities Are the Most Dangerous? | Security.org Anniston, AL tops the most dangerous U.S. cities list with 3,434 violent crimes per capita. East St. Louis, IL has the highest murder rate.

Note that there are NO LINKS to the primary sources that purportedly support these statements. That matters. In particular because other sources that rely on FBI data suggest that Memphis is #1. And that Houston, Nashville, Denver and yes, Baltimore are ahead of D.C. www.security.org/resources/mo...

Russian Forces Thank Trump by Flying U.S. Flags in Ukraine Putin’s soldiers were spotted riding into battle in a stolen American APC while flying both the U.S. and Russia’s flags.

Russian forces mocked Trump’s surrender to Putin by attaching American flags to their vehicles while riding into battle in Ukraine.

Alex Acosta is on the Newsmax board.

@RepMTG Law and Order is back!!

They are raiding PA Ave SE right now

ATF, FBI, MPD, and Secret Service just arrested someone in front of the Union Market Trader Joe’s at 4 and Florida NE DC while residents heckled them.

State terror, security theater, and a disgusting waste of public money

Trump's media company just partnered with Newsmax to take it global.

People are STILL minimizing b/c the worst hasn't happened.

Sure, DC now has military checkpoints, but isn't crime bad there?

Sure, people are being dragged away by goon squads, but aren't they mostly illegal?

Sure, universities and the media are being strong-armed, but aren't they too liberal?

Kristi Noem, Feb, 2024: If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights. Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too. South Dakota defends the Constitution.

just thinking about this comment from 18 months ago for no reason whatsoever

Newsmax reacts to its Dominion settlement by urging businesses to leave Delaware The right-wing network also urged viewers to visit its ‘Invest in Newsmax’ website to ‘take a look’ at ‘additional information’ about the company

Newsmax is currently reacting to its $67 settlement with Dominion for airing election lies by urging businesses to leave Delaware because the court is against "free speech and free press," all while inviting viewers to visit its "Invest in Newsmax" website.

“.. Yikes – @EliseStefanik literally got booed off the stage TWICE at an event in her district today.

She hasn't hosted a #NY21 town hall in years. Now we know why.”

Looks like they're preparing to move Bongino out.

Remember, it was just last month that he blew up at Pam Bondi and threatened to quit over the whole Epstein saga.

Former CDC Director William Foege: How public health can fight back in a time of dangerous nonsense “Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time,” writes former CDC Director William Foege.

Can they call the police and report kidnapping? I’m not kidding.

Nicole Collier is courage & democracy in action. Tonight on the Texas House Floor, she stands firm with Gene Wu, facing down authoritarian and unconstitutional acts from extremists hellbent on rigging maps & silencing Texans. They will not bend, will not break, & will not be bullied.

Zelensky meeting shows how the White House has remade the press corps to Trump’s liking | CNN Business Veteran White House correspondents privately grumbled as a MAGA online personality dominated the Q&A during a photo op with President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

WH correspondent: "This display, especially in front of foreign leaders, is so embarrassing. Many of the questions aren’t designed to get answers, but to create another confrontation or make Trump look good. That's not journalism. High schoolers could do a better job than some of these people."
