In an interview on Fox & Friends, Trump was asked how to “fix this country” and “come back together.” His response included:

“I tell you something that is going to get me in trouble, but I couldn’t care less. The radicals on the right are radical because they don’t want to see crime …

Firefighter arrested by US border agents was on track for legal status, lawyers say Lawyers say arrest of man fighting Bear Gulch fire in Oregon was illegal and demand immediate release from detention

“For the second time in less than a month, the Justice Department abruptly dropped charges against a client represented by Brad Bondi, the brother of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.”

Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

AG Bondi on mayors and governors in blue states:

“If they don’t comply with us…We’re going to…cut off their federal funding. We are going to send in law enforcement…just like we’re doing here in Washington, D.C.”

“Nobody’s talking about Rockbridge, and that’s exactly how they want it.”

Brown: Brad Edwards deposed Epstein’s accountant—she worked for Epstein’s modeling company

She gave more detail than we had heard before, including the fact that when Epstein formed that company, he told her he wanted it to be set up just like Trump’s modeling agency.

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: A higher up at the Bureau of Prisons WAIVED Ghislaine Maxwell's sex offender status in order to transfer her to a minimum security camp in Texas, per source. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Wow. Trump announces he is firing the U.S. Labor Statistics Commissioner for reporting that jobs numbers are weak under his watch.

This is what dictators do.

Trump Justice Department seeks one day in prison for ex-officer in Breonna Taylor case A DOJ sentencing memo requests time already served for former Louisville officer Brett Hankison, who was involved in the raid but whose shots did not strike anyone.

On this remembrance day of the late great John Lewis
He would be appalled
WE SHOULD all be

There has NEVER BEEN FULL JUSTICE for Breonna Taylor
Her family did win in CIVIL CASE against Louisville but not criminal
Her family says it's an insult

DOJ seeks one-day sentence for officer in raid that killed Breonna Taylor In November, a federal jury found officer Brett Hankison guilty of violating Taylor’s civil rights during a March 2020 police raid in which she was fatally shot.

Now they want to act like civil rights charges were too much? Please be for real.

If you’re wondering how little they value Black lives—look no further.

This part can’t be repeated enough. Does anyone actually think this was a coincidence?
