Why? What does one have to do with the other? The trump admin is already legally required to resume SNAP payments.

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

Immigrants contribute over $525B in taxes annually, including $12B to Social Security from undocumented workers who often get no benefits in return.

They pay income, payroll & local taxes, & fund vital programs for us all.

Protect our neighbors. #MeltICE

Speak up.

Just how privy were you to those conversations that you can provide quotes?

You are confused. The role of an attorney is to provide legal counsel and doing so does not constitute endorsement.

Thank you for allowing me that privilege.

Darrow got one million dollars in the 1920s to defend two child killers. Should he have turned down the case?

That sounds like if it’s a low paid public defender it’s okay but not a high paid-priced lawyer. Two-tier system?

I guess we just have different views. I applaud lawyers willing to take on unpopular cases, as Darrow did, as Adams did when he defended the troops in the Boston Massacre. You condemn them if you don’t personally like those on trial.

I didn’t realize those kinds of statements are regarded as legally valid. When you say β€œinarguably wrong” what legal precedents can you cite that says such and such argument cannot be made in court, based on moral grounds?

Clarence Darrow was vilified across the country for taking unpopular cases.

ATTN: if you’re on the sandwich guy jury, my Signal is in my bio. I’d love to talk after the trial. I’ll keep you anonymous. Please share widely.

#ProudBlue Bovino is β€œleading” ICE in Chicago. Like 47 et al, he is a bully that enjoys what seems to be his absolute power & ability to use force against peaceful protesters. Take a look at the court filing - this will be coming to your city if it can’t be stopped here.

Nick Fuentes: "It was December 18...That's Joseph Stalin's birthday. I'm a fan."

Tucker Carlson: "You're a fan of Stalin?"

Nick Fuentes: "Always an admirer."

Tucker Carlson: "Well that's uh...Okay. We'll circle back to that."

Spoiler: Tucker never circles back.

This is insanity.
A society can’t withstand this level of lawlessness for long.
