@TexasSignal @phantomspots @LeaLovesUSA If you don't understand by now that the Republican Party as a whole, is working together to destroy the Republic of the United States of America and install an authoritarian dictatorship, I reckon you never will.

During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.🤷🏼😑

🚨 MARKET RIGGED IN REAL TIME 🚨 5 minutes before Donald Trump drops the Iran announcement… Someone sends a real NUKE through the market. $1.5B slammed into S&P 500 (ES) LONG in ONE click. $192M oil (CL) instantly SOLD. No hesitation. No fear. Just perfect execution. Orders were 4–6x bigger than anything else on the tape. Then boom… headline hits. Price moves exactly how it should. That’s not skill. That’s not luck. That’s INFORMATION. We are drawing lines. They’re printing millions. Welcome to the rigged market.

$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again - a $1.5 BILLION BET. Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time. 5 minutes before Trump's post. Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer? This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption.

@JoyceWhiteVance @JoanneCangal "statement signed by over 1,000 former federal prosecutors, including me, concluded that any other person who engaged in the obstructive conduct attributed to Trump would have been indicted". @dojalumni/statement-by-former-federal-prosecutors-8ab7691c2aa1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@dojalumni/sta…

Seven years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

For the past year, we have seen the horrors of Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda. Indiscriminate raids targeting families, small business owners, and students who are part of the fabric of our communities. The arrest of citizens and noncitizens alike, grabbing people off the street because of how they look, the language they speak, or where they work. Families afraid to send their children to school, afraid to worship, afraid to work. Armed federal immigration officers inciting chaos and using excessive violence, taking the innocent lives of Renée Good and Alex Pretti. All with next to no accountability. Despite the vast majority of Americans disapproving of this agenda and these enforcement actions, nothing appears to have changed at the department. And I have no confidence that Senator Mullin will demonstrate the independence necessary from Trump and Stephen Miller to lead the department in a necessary, different direction. Not only am I skeptical of Senator Mullin’s willingness to rein in ICE and CBP’s rampant abuses, I’m also equally concerned by his opposition to the certification of the 2020 election. He refusal to certify the electors on January 6th raises a serious question about whether he will protect our elections from threats, respect the will of the American people, stand up to the president and follow the law. As I have repeatedly said, the Department of Homeland Security must be rebuilt from the ground up with badly needed reforms to ICE and CBP, and I do not have confidence Senator Mullin is the person to do it. For those reasons, I voted to oppose Senator Mullin’s nomination to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

Recovery efforts are underway in our regions following last night’s massive Russian attack. In Zaporizhzhia and Poltava, ordinary apartment buildings were damaged, and fires broke out. Nearly 40 drones were launched against Shostka in the Sumy region. In Slatyne, in the Kharkiv region, a drone struck an electric train. Overall, damage has been reported in 11 regions. As of now, unfortunately, four people have been reported killed in the attack. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Dozens more have been injured, including children. In total, there were over 390 strike drones and 34 missiles of various types – ballistic, cruise, and guided air-launched missiles. These numbers clearly show that more protection is needed to save lives from Russian strikes. It is important to continue supporting Ukraine. It is important that all agreements on air defense are implemented on time. And it is important that Europe is able to produce the necessary number of air defense missiles to protect itself against any threats. Thank you to everyone who is helping strengthen the defense of Ukraine’s skies!

@doggintrump Apparently cutting billionaires taxes and having a criminal president that's stealing our taxes and spending them on frivolous deals that line his billionaire donors pockets is not working.

FORTUNE: “The U.S. government is insolvent.” — The Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for FY25, released last week to near-total media silence, saying our country is BANKRUPT We have 47T in total liabilities but only 6T in total assets They're stealing it all

@SenatorAndyKim Trump has appointed another unqualified, incompetent wack job for a position that is far beyond his capacity. This will be disastrous.

I voted NO on Senator Mullin for DHS Secretary. The failures at DHS run far deeper than who holds the title of Secretary.   Trump and his cronies continue to show no intention of ending the lawlessness we’ve seen in our streets and we must demand better.

I will hold Mullin to every one of his promises.

A straight up lie. Obama’s JCPOA halted Iran's nuclear weapons program, making America and the world safer. We argued then, correctly, that the likeliest alternative to the deal was war. President Trump tore up that deal anyway, failed to negotiate a new diplomatic agreement, and then decided to wage a reckless war that continues to have devastating consequences for the American people.

.@DAGToddBlanche tried to blame me for his cover-up of the Epstein files. He’s attacking me because I’m asking him to fully release the Epstein files (including the ones he unlawfully redacted to protect the President). And until he does that, he will keep having to answer for the cover-up he’s orchestrated. newsnationnow.com/politics/todd-…

@SenatorAndyKim Will he instruct ICE & CBP agents to abide by the laws under the Constitution of the United States?

The corrupt billionaires controlling the Republican Party need the SAVE Act.

Read part of a statement from AFGE’s president, the union for TSA agents. ICE is not helping TSA. It is creating more unnecessary chaos and confusion.

Sen. John Kennedy: "The Democrats offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted and I said, 'Ok, let's accept their offer,' and then at the same time we would offer a bill for reconciliation where we don't need any Democratic votes to do whatever we wanted to do with ICE. That way we're out of the shutdown and DHS is back open. Thune submitted that to President Trump. He said, 'No. No deals with the Democrats.' So we're back to square one."

@WilliamShatner I knew it as soon as I heard a right-wing billionaire bought Paramount. Star Trek has always promoted Intergalactic racial equality and that doesn't line up with the radical right.

Star Trek exists in more than one world. It exists in the fantasy of science fiction - weird and wonderful things that play unimaginable possibilities of exploration and human endeavor. But it also exists in the fantasy of human beings, the perfection of human beings, the exploration that human beings have made since the dawn of time and the continuing exploration - physically mentally and morally. It’s that aspect of Star Trek that I’ve always loved, to look at something physically that doesn’t exist now by these talented writers & designers but also to tackle the eternal human questions the agonies, the ecstasies. Star Trek should exist for a long time to come based on those truths. I for one would love to see its continuity. It’s with sorrow that I hear about the cancellation of the new Star Trek series.
