Darline Graham: I tripped up on one question last night, regarding Taiwan. I don't speak politician. I was just honest. Of course, Taiwan is our friend. But I think people in South Carolina are more worried about boys in girls sports.

“HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN” the president says about a congressman who hasn’t been seen publicly in nearly three months, hasn’t voted since March 5, and has yet to tell his constituents where he is.

Reporter: "Zelenskyy is asking U.S. for more Patriot missiles?" Hegseth: "Where we can help Ukraine, we have. We want Ukrainians to be able to defend, and we'll find way to do that." No. American people helped, but this has nothing to do with you. All your administration ever did was cut weapon

Fucking terrible idea, we need to do everything we can to undermine the idea that people shouldn't pay taxes. Taxes are not a punishment, taxes are how we contribute to the collective welfare of society.

Congress legislated a prohibition on withdrawing any troops from Europe or Asia without an extensive study of costs/consequences and an assurance by the Secretary that it’s in U.S. national interests — neither condition has been met. It’d be great if Congress would exercise its authority.

As an ex-cop who consistently raked in 6 figures due to the amount of OT I worked, I can confidently say this is one of the dumbest ideas I've seen from a Dem lately. We have to get away from the taxes are bad narrative and reimagine what taxes can do for us (incl. programs that improve life for LE)

My thing with Hegseth is that he wants you to think he was a scary, war-criming, door-kicker when he was actually a Minnesota National Guardsman assigned to the 101st Airborne Division as a replacement in Iraq, then quickly pulled from the line and shuffled off to a Civil Affairs unit mid-tour.

As the world watches Iranian “Shahed” drones hit Bahrain, Qatar, Dubai and other places in the Middle East, keep in mind Ukrainians have endured similar bombardment every day and night for years. The russian terrorist state and Iranian terrorist state combine to attack Ukraine.

I have watched the video several times and genuinely can't understand why they started shooting. Even if he was armed, owning a gun is legal in the US and it doesn't appear the man being beaten by masked agents was reaching for it. I hope we get to see a ton of these guys go to prison.

I'm really looking forward to hearing from the same people who have spent decades yelling about the Second Amendment that this shooting was somehow justified because the observer (allegedly) had a gun. It turns out, it was never about *all* of our liberty.

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

Three coffins wrapped in Danish flags are carried by 4-6 soldiers each; a cargo aircraft is in the background

Attended a vigil for Renee Good this evening in Vienna. Minneapolis — the place I called home for over ten years — will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s where I served as a police officer and worked to make the community safer. Seeing it now resemble a militarized zone is heartbreaking.

Explain to me like I'm five what the 2nd Amendment is for if not for this. King George III never said anything this obnoxious or deliberately inflammatory.

REMINDER. “To all ICE officers: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. Anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop you or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony. You have immunity to perform your duties, and no one—no city official, no state official, no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionist—can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties. The Department of Justice has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.” @StephenM
