• @BillAckman - What percentage of the student protesters who support Hamas are not U.S. citizens? Why do we want them taking the place of American citizens at our most prestigious universities? This is a math class this morning at @MIT. This is the state of learning and ‘free speech’ at our top universities. It would not be happening without a failure leadership at MIT. Imagine being a student who borrowed $250k to attend MIT or a professor who is trying to do research in this environment. (video)
• @RahamimoffTamar - Raisi publicly promotes Israel’s annihilation by lacing his speech with antisemitic holocaust and Hamas terminology. This should be condemned in the strongest possible terms by the international community as well as the @UN.

(video) San Francisco got cleaned up and homeless population disappeared for Xi Jinping. El Paso did the same for Biden’s visit in January. This proves to you that our government is capable to fix things overnight but doesn’t want to do it for you peasants. (video)
• @CitizenFreePres - San Francisco before and after For Americans For Xi Jinping. (pic) MMA fighter Joel "King Bau" Bauman just walked into the arena wearing a shirt that reads "Trump was indicted before anyone on Epstein’s client list.” (video)
• @Libsoftiktok - They cleaned up the streets of San Francisco for China’s dictator. They can fix the crisis plaguing our cities. They just don’t want to because they hate you. (video)
• @NICEnforcement - What isn’t in the House Republican bill to continue funding the federal government through January? Border security or immigration enforcement provisions. What is? A payment to the daughter of one of the wealthiest lawmakers who recently passed. (pic)
• @KobeissiLetter - The U.S. Now Has: 1. Record $17.29 trillion in household debt 2. Record $12.14 trillion in mortgages 3. Record $1.60 trillion in auto loans 4. Record $1.08 trillion in credit card debt.

• @LauraLoomer - SHAMEFUL BEHAVIOR BY 70 HOUSE REPUBLICANS. Yesterday, while everyone was distracted by the Trump rally and the 3rd GOP Presidential debate, 70
  @HouseGOP REPUBLICANS Voted in support of the @FBI getting an additional $300 MILLION for their new headquarter office which will be larger than the Pentagon. These 70 Republicans just supported the massive expansion of WEAPONIZED GOVERNMENT! (list)
