There are countless problems with the government's use of Flock cameras for surveillance. Not the least of which is that we don't trust our federal government and there is no transparency. This is not normal. Clip from 07/24/26 - Always a pleasure to speak with @pattivasquez.bsky.social

Three Democrats have now quit the Wisconsin governor’s race. The primary is in 12 days. And Republicans have spent $3.6 million running ads about the frontrunner — in the bluest parts of the state. #Wisconsin #FrancescaHong

The Court didn’t hand Trump a loss today. It handed the rest of us a win — birthright citizenship stays, 6-3. Stop making the 14th Amendment about one man. It’s about 255,000 kids a year who stay American. Win today. Warning too: three justices voted the other way.

Vance literally said earlier in this presser that they’re going after fraud, protecting people’s financial situations, and cracking down on corruption. Then the president gets caught talking up stocks and selling them. And the defense is: “He has advisers doing it.” Cool. That wasn’t the question

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Vance: Gas prices are temporary. They'll come down once we finish in the Middle East. Also Vance: We're restarting the war in Iran in 2-3 days if there's no deal. Dude. Pick a timeline.

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Vance: We can walk and chew gum — rural healthcare AND $1.776B for the mistreated. Cool. So you CAN spend money on Americans. You just choose to spend it on your friends first.

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Vance just flat-out lied. Said Trump never told Americans he doesn't think about their financial situations. Trump said it. On camera. Called it a "perfect statement." That's not spin. That's not a misquote. That's a lie. Right there. At the White House podium. Of course. Happy Tuesday.

042

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

We don't spend on healthcare because of what we spend on defense. We don't feed kids because of what we spend on bombs. We don't house veterans because of what we spend on the Pentagon. THAT'S the disproportion. Fix that.

020

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Vance is at the podium talking about a "case by case" payout fund for people whose sentences were "disproportionate." You know what's disproportionate?

JD Vance — Catholic, author of an upcoming book about his faith — is again lecturing Pope Leo on theology from a White House podium. The first American Pope. Telling the truth about war. And the VP's response is "be careful." Be careful, Your Holiness. The altar boys are armed now

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Even James Comey said today he's "guessing I'll be in line" for the $1.776B Trump slush fund. When Comey is openly mocking your "anti-weaponization" fund as so corrupt that he qualifies — the bit writes itself.

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

The $1.776B "anti-weaponization" fund? Acting AG Blanche just confirmed Oath Keepers can apply. Yes. The convicted seditionists. The ones who plotted to overturn an election. Your tax dollars. Their payday. Nice thank-you note.

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Vance calls the violence "hypothetical." Says they'll review Jan 6 "case by case." Hypothetical? We watched it. Live. For hours. Cops beaten. An officer dead. The Capitol stormed. The only thing hypothetical is this administration's relationship to the truth

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Vance says Trump won't take "a dime" from the DOJ's $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund. A dime. He's pulling in billions from crypto, meme coins, foreign deals, and a Qatari jet & his friends are lined up at the trough for their cut too. Keep the dime, JD. We're watching the billions.

020

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

JD Vance wants you to believe Republicans "have to serve the people." His boss just said — out loud — he doesn't think about the financial situation of Americans. Pick a lane.

Iran was further from a bomb under Obama's JCPOA than they are right now under the guy who ripped it up and then dropped ordnance on them. The fastest way to make twenty regimes want nukes? Show them exactly what happens to the ones that don't have any.

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

deliver a TED Talk on why they shouldn't buy boxing gloves. And spare me the "bright spot of American foreign policy for the last twenty years" line — those twenty years include Iraq, Libya, and the part where we tore up the Iran nuclear deal that was actually working.

where the United States bombs a country and then lectures it about the dangers of wanting to defend itself. He's worried about a nuclear arms race. Sir. We just bombed them. That IS the starting pistol. You cannot punch someone in the face and then

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Vance just said — as the father of three young kids — he doesn't want them inheriting a world where twenty more regimes have nuclear weapons. Cool. As the daughter of an immigrant and the mother of two sons, I don't want mine inheriting a world

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

We are the case study for why they'd want one. We are the argument. You don't get to set fire to the house and then lecture the neighbors about smoke detectors.

Patti Vasquez @pattivasquez.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Vance is at the podium telling us Iran can't be trusted with a nuclear weapon — three weeks after we bombed them. Here's a wild idea: maybe the fastest way to convince a country it needs a nuke is to drop bombs on it first and threaten to do it again on Tuesday.

For months we watched federal agents kill U.S. citizens, shoot a Chicago teacher on her way to church, and faced zero accountability. Today Minnesota charged an ICE officer with felony assault and prosecutors say it’s the first case of its kind in the country.pEvery state needs to be watching this.

Easter Sunday. Trump: "Power Plant Day. Bridge Day. You'll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah." Same morning, Pope from St. Peter's: "Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace." Two messages. One chose peace. The other chose war. #Easter #Peace #War

Last week people told me I was overreacting about the baseball hat at a dignified transfer of fallen soldiers. Then Trump’s team sent a fundraising email using that exact photo. Nothing is beneath them. Not even begging for money over the bodies of fallen soldiers.
