Trump supporters are very angry this morning about people making jokes on social media after many years of telling the rest of us to have a sense of humor and don't take everything so seriously.

DOGE has apparently created a cloud database of gov’t data & personal info about almost every American … used AI to mine it … and, evidently, exposed it to grave security vulnerabilities in the process. This isn’t dystopian fiction. This is happening in the United States.

The Minnesota Catholic school shooter, 20-year-old Robin Westman, had anti-Black, anti-Hispanic, and anti-Semitic slurs on his gun, including “6 million wasn’t enough.” He wasn’t an immigrant, Antifa, or ISIS—he was another right-wing, white nationalist domestic terrorist.

Republican officials have long been fine with sacrificing your children to ensure gun manufacturers can sell guns to people who should never be allowed to have them.

The shooter did not act alone! He was assisted by one President, 219 House members, 53 Senators, and the NRA.

If you support the NRA, work for the NRA, vote against common sense gun controls (and almost all limitations on the ownership of guns are common sense), then your finger is on the trigger every time one of these maniacs you have enabled commits another one of these nearly uniquely American crimes.

Yeah, Republicans, it's the damn guns. You can deny it, but that's simply the truth. And if you won't commit to doing anything about it, then yeah, it's you too. We have a brutal, sickening, heartbreaking gun problem in America—and you’re it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/hey-republ...

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t). I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.

MEDIA: Please report on the TX story w/context. Tx law requires redistricting every 10 years after census figures come in. TX did that. Trump, afraid to lose the midterms told Tx Republicans to find 5 more seats for the House. Meaning gerrymander away 5 Dem seats. The Republicans did it.

Every Democrat from Biden to Congress should've been immediately demanding that Trump be prosecuted for the Jan 6 attack and his coup attempt. Instead they wanted to avoid "politicizing" the issue. The lesson going forward is if a Democrat won't take the fight to the GOP, we must replace the person!

In 1990, only 1.2% of all guns manufactured were AR15s. Now, >23.4% of all guns made are AR15s & mass shootings with ⬆️ casualties skyrocketed - due to the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban expiring in 2004 & the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act giving the gun industry a civil liability shield.

Of course Trump will pardon serial child rapist Ghislaine Maxwell if she can help Trump. This is same Trump who pardoned the Jan 6 terrorists who brutally beat up police officers as part of his attempted coup. Trump is a vile, despicable person who should spend final days of his life in prison.
