Keep a VERY close watch on Zorro Ranch. Until warrants are in hand and every inch is searched, NOTHING leaves…no trucks, no trailers, no “deliveries.” Drones can document digging/excavation. There are legal ways to secure evidence and force accountability.

If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

Call US Senators and tell them to vote against the SAVE Act. It has already passed the US House. In its current form, it means that 100 years after women earned the right to vote, we are facing down the implementation of a 21st century poll tax for women.

If Democrats attend the State of the Union, they should invite an Epstein survivor as a guest.

If they skip the speech, they should invite an Epstein survivor to sit in their seat.

A number of Senate Democrats have reportedly had “general discussions” about whether to skip Trump’s State of the Union address on February 24th. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin said “virtually everyone is thinking about it.”

For me, it’s a no-brainer. SKIP THE SOTU ADDRESS.

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

A short note to Kristi Noem To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Broken bones, burning eyes: How Trump's DHS deploys 'less lethal' weapons on protesters Federal immigration officers have repeatedly used force in ways that appear to violate their own policies or general policing guidelines, NBC News found.

Because for some people Kamala Harris “wasn’t clicking” for them.

Ghislaine Maxwell Appears to Have Lied on Her Citizenship Application — The New Republic The revelation could put her citizenship status at risk.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution.
She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence.

Ask not what happens to the economy if billionaires are held accountable for their crimes.

There it is. The Republican Party has decided that they can't win over the majority of the country with their policies, so they are PROACTIVELY making sure the right people win.

Let's make sure we foil their plans.

Use Mark Cuban’s @costplusdrugs.com, not the TrumpRx scam. TrumpRx has 43 prescriptions, Cost Plus has over 2,500. One example is Protonix (pantoprazole): $200.10 on TrumpRx vs. $6.07 on Cost Plus.
