If the estimated 100K to 300K #SovereignCitizens in the US. are labeled a National Threat by the #FBI, why isn’t #ICE after them? They claim they are not US citizens. Is it because the vast majority are white males?

The Ronald Reagan video denouncing tariffs, which Donald is in such a snit about, was posted to YouTube eight years ago. It is authentic. Donald is lying. It is not AI. We are living in such twisted times, when Ronald Reagan's own words are offensive to Republicans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t5Q...

French philosopher Voltaire writing about religion stated that “anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” I think that this applies equally to #MAGA. Lies are powerful things. Widely believed lies are dangerous.

Portland is not war ravaged. Chicago doesn’t need to be “saved”. Undocumented immigrants do not qualify for Medicaid. People should not have to “prove they matter” to get healthcare. ICE should not be allowed to cover their faces. This shutdown is being done to save healthcare.
