No Phoenix Ikner was a registered Republican and here is a link to his voter registration form:

https://x.com/ddale8/status/1913031236617986432 Daniel Dale @ddale8 The White House today responded to a fact-check request regarding a President Trump lie by telling another lie. Trump, rejecting inflation concerns, claimed today that gas “hit $1.98 yesterday in a couple of states.” Not true. No state had an average gas price lower than $2.70 yesterday, per AAA data; no metro area in the 500+ tracked by AAA had an average below $2.57; and the firm GasBuddy tells me it saw 0 individual stations selling for under $2.19 in the tens of thousands of stations it tracks. (Certainly possible there’s some extreme outlier somewhere in this large country, and some drivers get special discounts, but that wouldn’t justify the claim.) So I asked the White House what if anything the president was talking about. Spokesperson Harrison Fields provided a statement that not only didn’t substantiate the false claim, which is understandable, but added a new false claim. Fields said that if out-of-touch big-city reporters actually went and visited “the Middle America,” they’d see that “gas prices are at record lows.” Except…that’s not close to true either. Gas prices “aren't near record lows in a single state,” @GasBuddyGuy notes, and that’s true even adjusted for inflation. Prices were much lower during various previous periods, even during Trump’s first term. They were under $1 at times in the late ‘90s, for one. So I had to send Fields a second request for comment, asking for an explanation for the new false claim the White House decided to provide in defense of the other false claim. No response a few hours in. This is really not how almost any office in Washington tends to operate with these kinds of routine fact-check requests. Spokespeople might ignore a query about their bosses’ misstatement, play down the wrongness, pivot to a broader “the real issue is” point, offer attempted defenses on and off record, maybe criticize the reporter. But just making up more stuff is pretty rare, or used to be.

Which of course proves he is anti-Trump...oh, wait...

Exactly. "These people are usually pretty entertaining" (you don't refer to a group you are a part of a "these people" you refer to others as these people) Plus the protest was on the campus of a school he attended, so he probably didn't have to go out of his way to see it.

It appears he attended the anti-Trump protests to ridicule the protesters, not as a participant.

I see this being reported in other posts but I have not personally verified the veracity. https://x.com/search?q="Florida State University"&src=trend_click&vertical=trends The 20 year-old Florida State University alleged school shooter, Phoenix Ikner, the son of a Leon County Sheriff's deputy whose gun he used, is a Republican who quotes the Bible and made fun of anti-Trump protesters. Not trans. Not an illegal immigrant.

Criminy.

Told you all in other threads this was going to happen. It is just the beginning and will only get worse unless the courts, particularly SCOTUS, can stop Trump.

That was inappropriate commentary in the OP.

This keeps getting worse. https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1912896344345497915 Trump's Department of Homeland Security has sent a letter to Harvard threatening to revoke its eligibility to enroll international students unless it submits information on international students' disciplinary records and protest participation. Statement from Harvard: "Harvard values the rule of law and expects all members of our community to comply with University policies and applicable legal standards. If federal action is taken against a member of our community, we expect it will be based on clear evidence, follow established legal procedures, and respect the constitutional rights afforded to all individuals."

https://x.com/David_J_Bier/status/1912883307286536205 WOW. One of the Venezuelans who Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1912531652154388677 California Gov. Gavin Newsom and state Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump admin over the Trump tariffs. The lawsuit argues Trump doesn't have the presidential authority to unilaterally impose tariffs using the International Economic Emergency Powers Act.

Even when he is not proven wrong that is his playbook, which I why I put him on ignore.

He wants an apology too?

245%?

Good point.

Um, no, we won't agree with you because we aren't all anti-Muslim bigots and racists.

U.S. officials on Saturday said that Abrego Garcia is "alive and secure" but who really knows (and I don't trust the source).

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1912206803565498693 Attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia said in new a filing that the Trump admin has not even attempted to get the mistakenly deported man returned to the U.S. — despite orders from a federal judge and the Supreme Court. "The Government's updates do not indicate that any steps have been taken to comply with this Court's and the Supreme Court's orders. There is no evidence that anyone has requested the release of Abrego Garcia."

Exactly, also: Balmer was registered to vote in Pennsylvania but was listed as "no affiliation" for his political party, according to records from the state department.

Or to put it another way: Being an undocumented immigrant, often referred to as an "illegal alien," is a legal status. It signifies a person's lack of legal authorization to be present in the United States.

Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland on CNN: https://x.com/atrupar/status/1912147276388069698 (2:00 video clip at link) Van Hollen: "I applaud Harvard's decision not to give in to bullying from the Trump administration. Donald Trump believes in 1st Amendment rights for himself, but apparently for nobody else ... the whole purpose of 1A is you don't have the government dictating speech as the Trump administration is trying to do."
