Chris Murphy speaking to reporters

Chris Murphy speaking to reporters

Murphy: β€œppl now see Trump for who he is β€” a would be dictator who doesn’t care what Americans think, cares nothing about our Constitution or our laws, & sees himself as a kind of 18th century king, with unlimited power to drag all of us into disastrous wars overseas without the consent of the ppl”

That's great. We support recovery efforts in EVERY state, for ALL Americans.

Speaking of which, Mr. President, PLEASE release the federal disaster aid you’re withholding from LA that will help people rebuild their homes.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Reporting had to comply with the Fairness Doctrine. Facts were provided to support positions. Falsehoods called out. No Fox. The scientific method was accepted. Conspiracy kooks didn't have the internet to spewforth. Community narratives less divided by unsupported rhetoric. Expert opinion valued.

"Aides to Todd Blanche directed the U.S. Atty’s office and FBI agents based in MN to shut down a civil rights investigation into an officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good and instead alter it to probe Good for possible criminal liability, according to three people briefed on the discussions."

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

ICE will murder you for no reason

They will beat you for no reason

They will arrest you for no reason

Many states have a right to stand your ground against an attack that could lead to your death or severe bodily injury.

I will not look at a uniform. I will look at an action and defend myself

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long timeβ€”that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.
