FBI, state and local law enforcement don't need masks. ICE and CBP shouldn't be masked, either, but they're afraid of being identified doing illegal actions.

3/3 ... this is not what our founders envisioned β€” not by a long shot. so I’ll ask again: is the president working for you? we all know the answer is no.” Actually, Madame Governor, it's a resounding F**K NO!!

2/3 ... the scale of the corruption is unprecedented. there’s the coverup of the Epstein Files. the crypto scams. cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes, and billionaires for ballrooms. putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation’s capitol.

Thank you Gov. Spanberger: β€œand so you have to ask, who benefits from his rhetoric, his policies, his actions, the short list of laws he’s put through this Republican Congress? somebody must be benefiting. he’s enriching himself, his family, his friends β€” 1/2
