Why we must keep talking even when we disagree.

Wow, Marco Rubio stood his ground.

@itsrosesm sounds good.

President Trump is sending illegals to a prison where they can be eaten by alligators if they escape. Is this what you voted for?

@SethAbramson it's super doper looking.

I say again... *grotesque*. The Trumpist enshittification of America continues. This is what a formerly beautiful D.C. landmark will soon look like:

@JeffreyLuscombe @travisakers @shashatheitch22 shut up retard.

@travisakers @shashatheitch22 And adults who use it here get an automatic block from me.

Parents, let me be extremely clear… If your child uses “retarded” or “faggot” in my classroom, they are out. And it’s a reflection on you as well. I didn’t mince my words. And if they learned it from you… shame. To the majority of parents who are raising your children to respect others, you’re doing it right, we see that, and appreciate you.

@travisakers freedom of speech, what about that. You against it?

@marceelias the USA is a Republic you know, aye.

A reminder that when the journalists are finishing their dessert and applauding a man who lies to their faces, I'll be at my desk — planning, writing, fighting. If you want to support legacy media watch. If you want to help Democracy Docket, sign up now. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

🚨 BREAKING: In a stunning turnaround, the founder of HOME DEPOT, who did not want to vote for President Trump, is shocking the business world. He also opposed tariffs. Now? "I am SOLD on Trump." "I think he's got a good shot at going down in history as one of our best presidents ever," Ken Langone said HOST: "That is a REAL turnaround, because you didn't want to vote for him!" LANGONE: "I'll tell you the reason...I'm a believer. What I'm seeing happening is absolutely nothing short of a great thing. And there's a beat. People are walking with more bounce...I think this guy is turning out to be a [great] president."

The fact that ICE found HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of migrant children in 2025, many of whom were in forced labor on a farms, is somehow NOT the biggest story in America... ...tells you everything you need to know about the media It's totally insane.

Trump froze ($2B) in federal funds bc Governor Pritzker' sanctuary status Now when he calls Govt agencies they don't wanna talk to him Pritzker was giving illegals free healthcare, and wanted you to pay for it., Trump just put a stop to it THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT 👇 I VOTED FOR

🚨WAKE UP! Jesse Watters is dropping absolute TRUTH BOMBS! THE WHOLE DEMOCRAT PARTY is an ENTIRE SCAM! Democrats aren’t a political party, they’re a full-blown criminal racket bleeding this country dry! They’re looting our tax dollars hand over fist, engineering an invasion at the border while smearing every patriot who calls it out as a racist, cooking up deadly lab viruses on our dime, running phony “charity” schemes that pocket billions with zero actual service, funneling “aid” money that never leaves their DC swamp, and pushing that joke of a Green New Deal that delivered nothing but trillion-dollar slush funds for their cronies … no windmills, no solar panels, no EV chargers, just fat pockets! These grifters watch their own net worth explode overnight while they lawfare Trump over NONSENSE! Enough! This corrupt syndicate is destroying our nation Expose it, dismantle it, and take America back! Who’s with me?!

@darren_stallcup @SteveHiltonx yep, Steve.

A lot of people are throwing their hats in the ring to be Governor of California. I am voting for @SteveHiltonx 🇺🇸💛 #MakeCaliforniaGoldenAgain Who are you voting for? Let me know in the comments below. Please keep the conversation family friendly. Thank You.

@StewGlobal thank God Biden is gone and we almost had the dimwit Kamala Harris.

t.co/oUMayrOZvr Muslims are crying “Islamophobia” after Marco Rubio officially announced that pro-Hamas foreigners and those who desecrate the American flag will be denied green cards. This is not Islamophobia. This is basic national security and common sense. If you support a terrorist group that rapes and murders Jews or you burn the American flag, you have no right to live in America. America First means keeping America safe from jihadists and their supporters. Thank you, Marco Rubio.

Great explanation...

If you support prosecuting E. Jean Carroll for filing a false rape lawsuit without any witnesses or evidence and 30 years after when she said it occurred, against President Trump, put a👍 in comments.

A proposal that would require California to verify proof of citizenship when a person registers to vote - and require voters to provide identification at polling places - will appear on the November ballot, state officials announced Friday. abc7news.com/18961768/

A ballot measure to amend the California constitution and require voters to present government issued IDs at the polls will appear on the November ballot. ktvu.com/news/californi…

@USLaborIG @POTUS @VP

Fraudsters had a good run. That ends now. $300 MILLION to prevent fraud, prosecute criminals, and protect taxpayers. The message is simple: steal from the American people, and under leadership @POTUS & @VP, we’re coming for you. 🇺🇸
