Today I’m in the geographic dead center of Nebraska, about 10 miles out from Broken Bow. This land is beautiful. We need to protect the water below it from Wall Street and Silicon Valley who are already scheming to buy up our farmers’ water rights for their data centers.

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

Marjorie Taylor Greene urges Christians in Trump's administration to stand up against him: “This is not making America great again, this is evil.”
Screenshot of a post on X (Twitter) by former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (@FmrRepMTG) with a verified badge. Her post begins, “On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.” She criticizes Donald Trump and members of his administration, saying those who claim to be Christian should “fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God” and stop “worshipping the President,” calling Trump “insane” and saying his supporters are “complicit.” She says she is not defending Iran but argues the U.S. and Israel started an “unprovoked war” based on false nuclear claims, notes that Israel has nuclear weapons, and says Israel can defend itself without U.S. involvement. She criticizes Trump’s threats to bomb power plants and bridges, saying it harms Iranian civilians. Invoking Easter, she references Jesus’ teachings about forgiveness and loving enemies, and states, “Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.” She calls for peace, says escalating war is hurting people, and concludes, “This is NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024… This is not making America great again, this is evil.”

Below her post is an embedded screenshot of a Truth Social post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump), also with a verification badge. Trump’s post reads: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.” The post shows engagement metrics of “84 ReTruths” and “335 Likes,” with a timestamp of “4/5/26, 8:03 AM.”
