Here's Mike shouting during Biden's 2023 State of the Union btw
I’ve been to 16 of these
I’ve never seen Republicans behave like this during a Democrat SOTU
Never
Yet the MSM says nothing
Why?

From @WSJopinion: Trump owes the Supreme Court an apology—to the Justices he smeared and the institution itself. He doubtless won’t offer one, but his rant in response to his tariff defeat at the Court was arguably the worst moment of his Presidency.

The ultra conservative Heritage Foundation's own research found that in 24 YEARS of voting, ONLY 77 'illegals' voted, representing .00000764% of all votes.
We don't have an election integrity problem. We have a Trump administration integrity problem.
This isn’t law enforcement, its intimidation, and a violation of the 1st Amendment. This horrid behavior is straight from Stephen Miller and the President, manipulating thugs who have not read the Constitution they swear to uphold. They must all be held to account.

ICE pointed semi-automatic weapons at a retired American couple in a church parking lot. No warrant. No rights read. Just terror.
This is not law enforcement. This is unconstitutional intimidation.
Under the Fourth Amendment, ICE cannot detain or search without a judicial warrant. "We don’t need one," is a lie.
PAXIS is here to hold that line:
— Lawful speech, not escalation.
— Shared truth, not fear.
— Human dignity, always.
🛑 If ICE appears at your place of worship: You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to see a judicial warrant. You have the right to not open the door.

PAXIS holds. The Constitution holds. We do not run. We respond.

Republicans want you to simultaneously believe the guy on the left is a hero and the guy on the right is a terrorist.

Reminder that Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to a protest like this and Republicans called him a hero
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We’re all finding out. slate.com/news-and-politics/…

ICE smash car window & drag 2 sisters out—in front of elementary school at pick up time.
13 masked agents surround car—while children yelled "It's ICE!" running away in fear.
"My name is Jocelyn, I'm from Cicero," she cries. "They forced us out of the car, they followed us... they don't have a warrant."
Both Jocelyn and her sister, who was driving the car, are DACA recipients—and were eventually released after they were finally allowed to prove their legal status.
A teacher exiting an Uber at the time started to take this video when she heard the children screaming.
The incident occurred at West Loop Elementary School in Chicago, Illinois. #DemsUnited

Trump to the President of Liberia: "Such good English. Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?"
*English is the official language of Liberia.
To paraphrase my grandmother, “Better to let them think you’re a malignant narcissist than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

Remember when Stephen Miller spray-painted his bald head to go on national TV?
That doesn't get talked about enough.
Hire a clown, get a circus. Putting anti-science idiots like this fraud in charge of our health will go down as one of Trump’s most consequential mistakes. We are all at huge risk because of this. nytimes.com/2025/08/05/healt…
