God bless this Amazing American “Mom”
Charlie’s legacy won’t just be his tragic disappearance.

🚨NOW: A video is going viral showing an ICE agent ripping a phone away from an elderly U.S. citizen, keeping it, and throwing her to the ground when she attempts to retrieve it.
No mercy. Identify and prosecute each one of these guys to the FULLEST extent of state law.

Madison Cawthorn, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Lauren Boebert were elected to Congress in 2020. Cawthorn lost his reelection bid after serving one 2-year term. Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned after serving for 5 years. Boebert will depart in January after serving for 6 years.
As is the case with all federal employees, members of Congress must serve at least 5 years to qualify for any retirement benefits. That means Cawthorn gets nothing.
MTG and Boebert will be eligible for retired pay when they reach the age of 62. In today’s dollars, that equates to $725 a month for MTG and $870 a month for Boebert.
Retired members of Congress can qualify for subsidized healthcare coverage (like all federal employees), but it is not provided free of charge. In order to qualify, the member must have been enrolled in the government healthcare plan for at least 5 consecutive years AND eligible to immediately receive retired pay. Since MTG and Boebert have to wait until they reach the age of 62 to draw retired pay, they do not qualify for the government healthcare plan after leaving office.

A message to all sane Republicans:
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.
He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.
He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.
He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.
He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.
His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.
He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.
He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.
It’s time to start talking.

Just a reminder of some testimony about Gym Jordan when he was confronted by a victim's brother about the sexual abuse at Ohio State.

In memory of Lauren Boebert’s last day in Congress, enjoy this video of her ripping a vape, giving her date a hand job, and being kicked out of a theater.

These Americans didn’t enjoy the weekend.
While Americans enjoyed their weekend, the patriots of @ICEgov worked around the clock to arrest and remove dangerous criminals from our communities, including murderers, pedophiles, and sexual predators.
Far too many Americans have been harmed by criminal illegal aliens – and every single time, it is preventable.
Arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens like these saves lives. 🧵

This is Allie Phillips. She was denied an abortion to end a nonviable pregnancy due to Tennessee’s abortion ban. Last week, she defeated an anti-choice Republican in the state legislature.
RETWEET if you are proud to stand with Rep-elect Phillips!

To all the people texting me asking if this is a real quote:
Yep.

Maj. Jason Watson has been in 24-hour solitary confinement for 80+ days & has reportedly lost 20 pounds, all before any trial. UN experts consider solitary beyond 15 days to be torture. He offered to resign, give up all his benefits, & the Air Force said no. Because he protested.
