Americans are getting the “it was a Hamas hospital” treatment

A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists.
Community note
Videos of the encounter shows that the gun was never drawn. The weapon remains in the victim's holster until one agent removes it. After the victim is disarmed, a second agent shoots him repeatedly.

Biden left with a 3.9% growth rate.
Trump turned that into a NEGATIVE 2.5% growth rate.
In 6 weeks.
While he golfed 12 times and threw taxpayer funded parties at Mar-a-lago.

Americans could’ve gotten $25,000 to buy their first home but instead they are getting tariffs that will make homes even more unaffordable and harder to build all to feed the ego of a lunatic who wants them to feel pain

Vice President Harris: My plan is to give homebuilders tax credits to give them the incentive to build new housing. I will give first-time homebuyers a $25,000 downpayment assistance so they can just get their foot in the door. This will provide the opportunity to build intergenerational wealth

Call me crazy but I don’t think President Kamala Harris would’ve turned off free lunches for poor children or cut Medicaid funding for vulnerable Americans.

The President demanding an apology for a bishop’s sermon and a congressperson calling for her deportation and the MAGA response to take away tax exempt status and harass staff are what actual attacks on religious freedom look like. Christian nationalism is coming for us all.

Echoing the teachings of Jesus and calling out Trump's cruelty, ignorance, and bigotry to his face, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde delivers a sermon for the ages. Bishop Budde stared down authoritarian fascism and said 'Not today, motherfucker.' 😳👇

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor.
Party of Family Values, am I right?

Donald Trump closes by calling Nancy Pelosi "an evil, sick, crazy b-.” (Trump mouthed the last word. “It starts with a ‘B’ but I won’t say it. I wanna say it!”)
JD Vance closes by calling Kamala Harris "trash."
If you're voting for Trump-Vance, this is who you're voting for.

“We paid for the abortion in cash so that there wasn't a paper trail of our Texas credit cards paying for an abortion,” says Dani Mathisen. At 20 weeks pregnant, she learned her baby girl had a lethal condition, and was forced to leave the state to get care.
