Ron DeSantis trying to distance himself from the trump administration like he wasn't the one who built a concentration camp surrounded by alligators where they feed migrants maggot infested food while desantis and trump's people laugh and sold merch!

Let this sink in: ICE agents reportedly blocked the emergency entrance of a Los Angeles hospital for TWO HOURS, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere. This isn’t law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent people’s lives at risk. An ambulance entrance is not a political battleground. A hospital emergency room is not an immigration checkpoint. And federal agents do not get to hold an entire community’s access to emergency medical care hostage. Imagine being in an ambulance, fighting for your life, only to be diverted because federal agents decided their operation mattered more than emergency access. Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? And where is the line that these agents are no longer allowed to cross? You cannot claim to be protecting America while putting Americans’ lives in danger. This isn’t making America great. It’s making America cruel. And anyone defending this should be ashamed.

“Everyone gets to vote!” Ohioans are hitting the polls early as the fiercely contested midterm elections prepare to conclude later this week. Some people have been waiting for over 2.5 hours here at the Franklin County Board of Elections to make sure their ballot is cast.

The Rogers spokesperson you see starting this press conference is Abby Ronson. She is currently registered as a foreign agent for the state of Israel, according to @DropSiteNews reporting today

Pennsylvania officials caught a scheme involving 10 forged mail-in ballot applications submitted by a woman from Idaho. The best part? She was an independent contractor for Mobilize the Message, a conservative voter outreach operation founded by Republican strategist Cliff Maloney. The system worked as designed. All 10 applications were flagged and rejected. No ballots were issued. The irony? A Republican-aligned political operation caught up in an election-fraud investigation. Meanwhile, Scott Perry was already misrepresenting what actually happened. Facts matter. Apparently, especially when Republicans are doing the explaining.

This is purposeful voter suppression by Ohio Statehouse Republicans They passed a law allowing only ONE early vote location per county, no matter the county size or population. They knew this would create lines in places like Cbus, Cincinnati, & Cleveland, but not rural areas
Early voting lines at the Montgomery County Board of Elections are an estimated 3 hour wait time as of 3 pm today.

There is a zero percent chance the WSJ would have rolled the dice on publishing this if they couldn't 100 percent authenticate it. And they did. The card is real.

It’s just crazy how literally nothing can break the perception that republicans are fiscally conservative. It does not matter that republicans have exploded the debt and deficit every time for the last 50 years, people still insist they’re fiscally conservative
If the stock market crashes on Monday, it would cement a Democratic sweep on Tuesday. Ironically, a crash that helps Democrats win may be driven by investors pricing in that outcome, as Democrats will likely raise corporate taxes and be more fiscally reckless than Republicans.

With a single import (Bolsonaro), Trump has dismantled the law and order narrative, the immigration narrative, the isolationism narrative, and the anti-corruption narrative. The entire MAGA cult that cheered these things don't even care.🤬🤦‍♂️

No asylum for people fleeing war in Sudan or conflict in Haiti, but Rubio is rolling out the red carpet for Bolsonaro. Apparently, fleeing violence doesn’t qualify. Denying election results does.
UPDATE: The State Department plans to issue visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family to allow them entry into the United States, a senior State Department official said.

Why did the flight manifest list Flavio Bolsonaro as an Italian National and not Brazilian meaning that he just immigrated to the United States with falsified documents. Where is ICE ? Didn’t Ron DeSantis say that Florida wouldn’t become a Sanctuary State. Maralago bound.

Bolsonaro reportedly left Brazil without his passport and fled to the US. If he wants to come into this country, he should do it the right way. Legally, with the proper papers. If not, he should be turned over to ICE.

Flávio Bolsonaro fleeing to Florida is no anomaly. Under Trump's corrupt authoritarian regime, America is fast becoming a sanctuary for deposed dictators, aspiring autocrats, and fugitive pedophiles. The deranged psychopath is rapidly transforming the country into the ultimate safe haven for far-right criminals fleeing justice.

This whole Bolsonaro thing is crazy because international fugitives used to pick Russia to run from accountability. Now, they pick America. They feel safe here. Disgusting. We need to deport every one of these thugs Trump lets in.

BREAKING: Allies of failed Brazilian Presidential Candidate Flávio Bolsonaro say the Trump administration is aware of him illegally fleeing from Brazil and that Trump intends to grant him political asylum after his election loss to Lula. He is reportedly en route to the US (Miami/Dallas area) with family, having missed a court deadline to surrender his passports amid a money-laundering probe.

We really moved on too quickly from Donald Trump Jr. marrying Jeffrey Epstein’s personal bankers’ daughter, and a Russian oligarch paid for the whole thing in a blatant bribery scheme.
