Before switching over to the president, CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil explained: “Much of what the President has said on [security of American elections] has been false.” In other words CBS a news media outlet just called the President of the United States a liar making your mind up for you based on their opinion before Trump spoke How do you feel about THAT?

I am voting yes on an amendment to block $3.3 billion in American taxpayer dollars for Netanyahu and the Israeli military. Benjamin Netanyahu, like Donald Trump, is a corrupt authoritarian who should face criminal courts - not receive billions more for weapons. The American people want lower housing costs and more affordable groceries, not more bombs and foreign wars.

I'm half-Syrian, half-Lebanese, and here's why I can't stand people like Greta Thunberg. She quit school to chase climate activism while millions of children in my region quit school because their families can't afford it. She skips university "for Palestine" while our youth can't afford tuition, transport, or a functioning country to build a future in. She's never had a job; our people can't find one. She travels around the world (on a bicycle, of course) and sails to Gaza on a whim; our people can't get a visa to leave the misery they were born into. She has the luxury of adopting foreign causes; we don't have the luxury of just one problem. Millions of us live abroad because that's the only way to build a sustainable life. She acts like suffering belongs to Palestinians alone, while everyone in the Middle East lives in hell too, and it's not because of capitalism or climate change. It's because of a destructive ideology that uses the Palestinian cause as its tool. And like Khamenei, like Sinwar, like Arafat before her, she wears the keffiyeh — the uniform of that ideology, not a symbol of peace. Then there's the shirt: "Yalla Intifada." The First Intifada (1987–1993) began as a mostly grassroots uprising — strikes, boycotts, stone-throwing — and still killed roughly 1,100 Palestinians and 160 Israelis. The Second Intifada (2000–2005) was a different animal entirely: a sustained campaign of suicide bombings that ripped through Israeli buses, cafés, and markets, deliberately targeting civilians. It left close to 3,000 Palestinians and 1,000 Israelis dead. "Intifada" doesn't mean "ceasefire." It doesn't mean "peace talks." It means uprising by force, and the second one was defined by terror attacks on ordinary people. So while Greta claims to be protesting an alleged genocide, the slogan on her chest is a celebration of the exact kind of violence that killed thousands, most of them Palestinian. She isn't standing against death. She's wearing merchandise for it. @GretaThunberg #Intifada #Israel

MEET ASHIK SIDDIQUE. He is the national co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, and he wants to abolish the United States Senate. Siddique has never accomplished anything that would justify placing him above the constitutional system he wants to dismantle. Yet socialism has given him the confidence to believe the problem is not his lack of experience. The problem is the structure of the country itself. Abolishing the Senate would erase equal representation for every state. California could dominate Wyoming. New York could overpower Nebraska. Political control would shift toward a handful of densely populated metropolitan areas, while smaller and rural states would lose one of their principal protections in the federal government. It would also eliminate the chamber responsible for confirming federal judges and Cabinet officials, approving treaties, conducting impeachment trials, and slowing legislation before temporary political majorities can force it through. And that is the real objective. The Senate frustrates radical movements because it prevents a narrow ideological majority concentrated in major cities from immediately transforming the entire country. Socialists call that undemocratic because they do not merely want representation. They want fewer obstacles between themselves and power. Siddique says the Senate was built for wealthy landowners. His solution is to destroy one of the central checks in the Constitution and dramatically expand the House instead. DSA has repeatedly promoted abolishing or weakening institutions that restrain raw majority power, including the Senate, Electoral College, and Supreme Court. This is why socialism should never be treated as a harmless demand for cheaper healthcare or higher wages. Its leaders are openly telling you they want to redesign the government, remove constitutional guardrails, and concentrate power where their movement believes it can win. Like many of the leader in the @DemSocialists, Ashik Siddique has built remarkably little. But he is ready to demolish quite a lot.

DSA Co-Chair Ashik Siddique: "We just don’t see the point of the Senate.” The point of the Senate (and Congress, Presidency & Supreme Court) is checks and balances. The point of checks and balances is to PREVENT a dictatorship. And the DSA knows that. That’s why they want to destroy it. Because Communism wants a dictatorship. They want total control. And America’s system of government is the only thing standing in their way.

District court judges can appoint a temporary U.S. Attorney, and POTUS can fire them. WDWA judges abandoned the time-honored process of consultation with the administration so that the selected U.S. Attorney is qualified to serve in the administration. Roger Rogoff has been fired by the President.

The illegal who tried to run down an ICE agent (and got shot and killed) had a Social Security card. We were told they don’t get SSNs, can’t access benefits, and they don’t get driver’s licenses. Yet here we are. And we’re supposed to believe they’re not voting in our elections too? Give me a break.

Never forget that the Democrats arrested a US President, his lawyers, his campaign manager, his accountants, his media allies, and his valet over fake, made up stuff. Jack Smith MUST be held accountable or it will happen over and over again. Lock him up.

@shipwreckedcrew Maybe ICE should use marked vehicles with emergency lights on them instead of generic rental cars and civilian clothes then?

Shipwreckedcrew@shipwreckedcrew·
Thousands of people see emergency lights in their mirrors everyday and 99.999% manage to not get shot. Are mistakes made? Sure - mistakes. But it is often a mistake that has its origins in the bad decisions of the people who get shot - not the police. The police - ICE included - are reactive to what is happening around them. They do not simply assassinate people for sitting in a car. If you think that is true then you are more of a problem than they are.

You cannot swear an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and be affiliated with a group whose stated purpose, repeatedly and loudly, is to dismantle the Constitution. This isn't a big secret. It's not a conspiracy. They say it themselves over and over and over again. We need to start litigating the oath and the legal weight it carries, and disqualify all DSA members and affiliates from holding public office. It's really that simple, and the sooner we start the easier it will be. Every DSA member should be removed from office immediately, and no future DSA member should be allowed on the ballot.

"Draft a new constitution and create a Democratic Socialist Republic." Delaney Vandergrift, a leader of DSA’s Marxist Unity Group and self-proclaimed "cultural worker," makes it clear what the organization stands for. DSA is not a "big tent", it's an anti-American movement.

In August 1950, a man named Harmon Dobson opened a burger stand in Corpus Christi with a straightforward ambition: he wanted to make a burger so big that when you took a bite, you would say "what a burger." He charged twenty-five cents. He sold out of burgers on his first day and had a line the next morning before he opened. Dobson's original Whataburger was a trestle stand with no seating, just a window and a parking lot. The burger was large for the era, served on a five-inch bun, and made with fresh beef to order. The concept spread slowly at first, with Dobson and his franchisees expanding through South Texas over the following decade. By the time Dobson died in a plane crash in 1967, the chain had grown to more than forty locations, and his family continued expanding it. What Dobson built became something that a certain segment of Texas considers non-negotiable: not just a fast food chain but a cultural institution with its own vocabulary of loyalty. The spicy ketchup, the toasted bun, the A.1. Thick and Hearty sauce, these are things people from Texas argue about with the same energy they bring to football teams and barbecue joints. A burger stand in Corpus Christi in 1950 started all of it. Are you a Whataburger loyalist? Have you ever had one?
