This video is from former CIA operative and current Senator Elissa Slotkin last year, seeking to undermine morale among United States Armed Forces. Days ago, she urged political persecution of Trump officials. Senator Slotkin must resign or be prosecuted.

Listen, sweetheart.
You’re not the victim.
You explicitly called for prosecutions of Trump officials—to deter young conservatives from public service.
This is textbook fascism.
This is why we have the Second Amendment.
Go fuck yourself.
This man, @mrddmia, who is suggesting I be shot, was in the mix to be President Trump's next Attorney General after he fired Pam Bondi for not prosecuting more of his political opponents. He is now at a MAGA dark money group, mobilizing death threats against me and my staff for sport.
This shouldn’t be controversial: if you aid in stealing taxpayer money or directing it to enrich President Trump or his family, then you should be held accountable for that crime. That’s what I said, and I stand by it.
And if you use the justice system for frivolous lawsuits used to intimidate and jail your political opponents, you should be held accountable for that via your bar status. No abuse of power and not violating the law? Then we have no problem.
We know most Republican politicians are desperate to change the topic from their failing agenda. That’s how this kind of coordinated right-wing media play works. The threats and intimidation — of me, my staff, and my family — *are the point* of this kind of play. This dude and so many others are just hoping that we'll shut up in response.
Not going to happen.

As a young conservative staffer, I’ve always thought of progressive staffers as honorable opponents in the war of ideas, messaging, and political strategy. I’m learning they do not think of us the same way.

I honestly do not understand how any American who is not already a literal Communist or a literal Jihadist could vote Democrat after hearing what Slotkin said below.
This is LITERALLY totalitarianism. It's not the fake "fascism" the Left likes to accuse the Right of, it is the REAL THING.
Undeniably.
Irrefutably.
This is a sitting member of Congress who was in the CIA saying that dissent from what she believes will result in imprisonment.
This is straight out of Solzhenitsyn. Straight out of Orwell. This is something an early Nazi would have said in 1932 under the Weimar Republic.
Please please PLEASE share her words with everyone you know. The Democrat/Media Complex will try to bury this. It is up to us on social media, on blogs and via texts and emails to get the word out.
The only way to stop these monsters is to make sure that voters who don't really keep up on politics understand the actual threat, see it with their own eyes and hear it with their own ears.
Please. Spread the word to anyone who will listen. And even those who won't listen.

Prosecute Republican leaders to scare conservatives out of running?
Sounds like the kind of tactic the CIA might use overseas.

To be super clear: Talarico voted no on every single border security bill in Texas. Every one of them. He even advocated to redirect the federal money spent on border security to other things entirely. There is nothing this guy doesn't lie about.
James Talarico is suddenly running a TV ad saying "I called out Joe Biden for failing us on the border." Texans should ask one simple question. When? Even Fox News asked his campaign, and they couldn't point to a time he criticized Biden on the border while Biden was actually in office.
Here's what we do know. In a 2019 interview with the Austin Chronicle, Talarico said he'd rather take Texas' roughly $800 million border security budget "and put it back into public education," and he called that border spending "just political grandstanding."
Now, three weeks before the election, he wants Texans to see him as a border hawk who puts Texas before party. I don't buy it. This looks like damage control from a progressive trying to sound moderate in a state that knows better. Texans lived through those border years, and we remember who stood up and who didn't.

🚨 17 YEARS LATER.
Nidal Hasan walked into a Fort Hood processing center, shouted “Allahu Akbar,” and opened fire on unarmed soldiers. 13 dead. 30+ wounded.
Obama’s Pentagon called it “workplace violence.”🙄
His appeals are exhausted. The Army’s execution plan is written. Hegseth is all in. (HELL YES!)
Only one signature 🖊️ left. President Trump’s.
The families have waited long enough.
I voted for this.

25 years ago this morning, I was packing for my first trip as a pilot for American Airlines when Suzi came in and told me an airplane had hit the World Trade Center.
I assumed a small airplane, bad weather. Then I turned on the television.
Crystal clear morning in New York. I stood there holding my young son Matthew, going through my mental aviation checklist on how this could've happned... and the second airplane hit.
I knew we were under attack.
Flight suit. Boots. Raced out to Naval Air Station Fort Worth. Through the gate before the base went to Threat Condition Delta.
I was supposed to spend that day flying Americans to Miami.
I spent it strapped into an armed and running F/A-18 Hornet at the end of a runway, prepared to shoot one down.
Gruff and I waited while the Spads of the 457th FS got airborne, scheduled to launch when they ran out of gas. By the time the did, all air traffic was on the ground.
2,977 innocent people were murdered by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists.
Souls jumped from the towers, because falling through a clear September sky was better than burning alive.
First responders climbed up while thousands ran down.
Father Judge, a Catholic priest and FDNY chaplain, walked into hell to pray over the dying and became one of its victims. They carried him out and laid him on an altar.
25 years later, Americans are still dying from what they breathed at Ground Zero. Veterans still carry the wounds you can see and the ones you can't.
This country has forgotten why.
NYC elected an avowed anti-American immigrant Muslim socialist as mayor. Michigan's nominee for senate closed his campaign beside a man who said America 'deserved 9/11' and that we brought it on ourselves.
People running for office in a country they hate.
We raised a generation to be ashamed of this great country. They will not defend it. And a generation that will not defend a country will eventually accept whatever replaces it.
I am for religious freedom. I spent 15 years defending the document that guarantees it, I started my own church.
But the moment your religion leaves its lane and comes into mine - the moment it claims the right to kill me for not believing what you believe - it is not a faith anymore. It is a political system with a body count. Its own law. Its own courts. Its own mandates on what women can and can't do.
Ask a girl in Kabul about her schooling, ask a Christian in Saudi Arabia where his church is. There isn't one in the whole country. 15 of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
We let them build here. They do not let us build there. That is not tolerance, it's an invasion.
Europe has fallen.
The Constitution is not a suicide pact.
Contrary to what the pope thinks, there is such a thing as a 'just war'. This is it.
25 years ago this morning I sat at the end of a runway in a loaded fighter, waiting for an order I prayed would never come.
Many said we would never forget. They did.
I never will.
Fight's On.

A letter to our Senators and Representatives.
Gentlemen,
I am a 64-year-old American that has worked and paid taxes since I was fifteen years old. I have never taken any type of handout from anyone, including the US government. After 49 years of working, I have decided to retire, at least partially. According to you, it’s “early retirement”. I don’t consider 49 years of working, “early”. Had I been a government employee I could have retired 29 years ago, or had I been a senator, I could have retired, what… 39 years ago? with full retirement pay and free healthcare for life.
Because I retired before reaching my “full retirement age”; which is decided by you, I have a reduced Social Security payment, which you refer to as a “benefit”. I see it as a return of my money that I have paid in for 49 years. This reduced payment is not enough to live on. The payment at full retirement age is not enough to live on. I have to work some, to supplement my income, but low and behold I can only earn a certain amount (which is still not enough to live on) and then you start docking my Social Security.
Apparently, I earned too much at some point because I just received a letter from the SSA stating that my next three SSA payments will be cut in half, and the real kicker is I still “owe” $38.00. I can’t work more to make up the difference because I will only be further penalized.
It is extremely infuriating, as an American citizen, to be treated this way. Look at the amount of fraud, look at the number of people, many of whom have never paid a dime into the system, receiving free benefits from the government. Look at the billions paid to and on behalf of illegal immigrants. All I want is the money I paid in and a chance to retire in peace.

If you make this the last thing you listen to tonight before you go to bed I promise you won’t regret it
I was shocked at the mindless hate people have against Jews and are willing to post about it publicly.
Now I'm seeing the same mindless hate against women with the same lack of shame for posting it publicly. We are a civilization in moral decay.
I have to vent. I'm sitting in a room with my husband, waiting for him to be discharged. The doctor came by at 7:30. According to the nurse there are no discharge orders yet. We've been here from the ER since Friday at noon. I've had no more than 2 hours of sleep at a time 1/?

Tomorrow marks seventeen months since Katie was killed. And this weekend will be my second Father's Day without my daughter, Katie.
What I carry today is more than grief. It is a tension with time itself.
Before Katie's death, I thought about the future the way most parents do: watching my children build their lives, celebrating milestones, and growing old surrounded by family.
Now, my relationship with time has changed.
I still have two children whom I love deeply, and they are why I keep moving forward.
But I no longer worry about my own longevity the way I once did. If I live many more years, I will spend them missing Katie every day. If my years are fewer than I expected, I know I will see her again.
That tension was not chosen. It was thrust upon me.
In my view, it was created by policymakers who promoted sanctuary and open-border policies while dismissing concerns about public safety, accountability, and enforcement. They assured Americans there were no trade-offs, only compassion and progress.
But every policy has costs.
The people who make these decisions rarely bear those costs themselves.
Families like mine do.
Those responsible will move on to their next campaign, office, or cause.
I cannot move on.
There is no accountability, no recourse, and no way to reclaim what was taken.
They did not only change my daughter's future.
They changed mine forever.
In my view, these leaders helped create the policies and conditions that contributed to this tragedy:
Joe Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas, Susan Rice, Neera Tanden, Ron Klain, and Jeff Zients.
In Illinois: JB Pritzker, Alexi Giannoulias, Kwame Raoul, and the Illinois General Assembly supermajority.
I believe history should judge the decisions they made harshly and the consequences that followed.
I hope there is accountability in this world for the harms these policies inflicted on families like mine.
If not, I trust that every leader will one day answer for the decisions they made and the lives affected by them.
