The border czar wants the FBI to arrest AOC. A Fox News contributor is calling journalist Mehdi Hasan a terrorist. Elon Musk said everyone at 60 Minutes should go to prison. You all see how quickly we’re descending into madness, right? It’s not subtle, slow, or anything but a premeditated scheme.

Trump will be remembered by future generations as the WORST traitor in American history, and his sycophantic political supporters will be compared to those who decades ago supported Hitler.

It shocks me that so many Republicans think American judges should make rulings based on supposed “public support” for Trump … NOT based on impartial legal standards written in our U.S. laws & Constitution. How can ANY American not understand how profoundly WRONG that is?

Please continue to report.

A tweet from user @delsalcott features a screenshot of a reporting interface. The interface asks, "What issue do you want to report about Gulf of America?" with the option "Name is wrong" selected. Other options include "Location on map is wrong" and "Something else." The tweet's caption reads, "About to be insufferable," implying the user is about to correct the incorrect name, as "Gulf of America" is not a real geographic term (likely referring to the Gulf of Mexico).

Truly wild to see how Trump is playing second fiddle to Elon Musk. Musk is clearly acting as the de-facto president while Trump just fires off social media posts as if he is Musk's assistant.

Oh look, Dear Leader has given himself an honorary position and title.

A tweet from Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) comments on a post from Donald J. Trump, stating:
"The 'unanimously' elected is a nice touch. Makes it even more North Korea-like."

Below this, there is a screenshot of a tweet from an account named Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) that reads:
"President Donald J. Trump was just unanimously elected Chairman of the Board of the prestigious Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The President stated, 'It is a Great Honor to be Chairman of The Kennedy Center, especially with this amazing Board of Trustees. We will make The Kennedy Center a very special and exciting place!'"

Kristol’s comment appears to be sarcastic, comparing the concept of a unanimous election to authoritarian regimes like North Korea.
