In case you were wondering, Pete didn't just ask AI to make him a militant turtle shooting civilians. Franklin the Turtle is actually a Canadian children's book figure followed by millions of kids. He's also trademarked and copyrighted. Which means Pete here just opened himself, and the US government at large because of the use of his government account, to exposure for civil liability for copyright and trademark infringement that causes actual damage to a brand. And @KidsCanPress should 100% seek all legal remedies and recompense at its disposal for his abhorrent action turning a children's book character into an advertisement for war crimes.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

🔥 C-SPAN just aired the call of the decade; A voter called out Jake Tapper live on-air and torched the hypocrisy: “Right now, I really don’t like you… When are you going to examine what’s going on with Trump? This president has been pure chaos. There’s clearly something wrong with him. We’ll never get a straight answer on his medical exam. And yet you go after Biden with a vengeance.” In one breath, this caller did what most of cable news won’t: Call out the manufactured outrage, the false equivalence, and the fact that Trump gets treated like a circus act, not a danger to democracy.

I was just informed Trump is deploying another 2,000 Guard troops to L.A. The first 2,000? Given no food or water. Only approx. 300 are deployed — the rest are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders. This isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous President’s ego. This is Reckless. Pointless. And Disrespectful to our troops.

It’s a blueprint. The Medicaid purge is being used as a field test for how far they can push structural cruelty wrapped in moral language without sparking revolt. They’re testing how much suffering people will accept without fighting back. Mike Johnson isn’t freelancing. He’s part of a long arc within the modern GOP that’s been shifting the purpose of government from “universal service” to “selective enforcement based on moral and political alignment.” By purging 200,000 people without public uproar, Johnson is proving a hypothesis: you can shrink the state for the powerless while expanding it for the compliant — and call it reform. The program isn’t being fixed; it’s being repurposed. It’s shifting from universal safety net to selective reward mechanism. If this is accepted, the government no longer functions as a guardian — it becomes a silent gatekeeper that asks: “Have you earned this?” before it allows you to survive. The poor are being weaponized as an example — to train the middle class to submit. He’s creating a blueprint for future selective governance — scaled across all programs. If Medicaid can be quietly turned into a moral filter, then so can SNAP, Section 8 housing, unemployment insurance, and even federal education grants. The real endgame is to eliminate the concept of unconditional citizenship. The most dangerous shift happening here isn’t the policy — it’s the idea that the government doesn’t owe you anything unless you prove loyalty or virtue.

The real moral failure is cutting healthcare from 200,000 Louisianans, many of whom are working or caring for family, while pretending it’s about fraud. Mike Johnson cloaks cruelty in “morality” to justify stripping life-saving care from his own constituents. That’s not leadership. That’s neglect. I hope Louisianans know this.

I will be voting NO on the Billionaire Tax Giveaway Bill. And If I weren’t a preacher, I’d tell you what kind of no.

Remember, being introverted or extroverted has little to do with how good you are with people. There are extroverts who appear shy and introverts who are socially adept. The key to identifying which way you lean on the intro/extraversion spectrum comes down to a single question:

ALEX OVECHKIN!!!! #8 REACHES 894 🙌🙌🙌   Loyal, consistent, dependable, and the definition of class… Alex has tied a record very few people believed would ever be broken. DC believed in him all along, and @ovi8 has delivered.   Next stop: 895 ! #ALLCAPS

@ossoff Proud of @ossoff #HoyaSaxa

They are literally the elites they pretend to hate.

America we have a problem: Taking Journalists off the air to appease Trump. Firing career prosecutors at DOJ. Cutting off student aid, loans, and grants. Silencing NIH & CDC. Leaving WHO. Reversing 60 years of civil rights gains. Firing Inspectors General. Where is Congress?!

They're finding irregularities in absentee and early voting in Texas, Florida, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Please call your secretary of state and have them look up your name and they'll be able to find out if your vote was tabulated correctly.

Folks, if you’re in line to vote, stay in line. Electing @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz is that important. I mean it.
