Masked ICE learned their lessons on 01/06/2021. In this training opportunity to attack our country, those whose faces were unmasked allowed their families, friends, & the gov’t to identify them.
Now, ICE is masked to avoid their families, friends, & gov’t.
The future will not bode well for them.

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Former Trump Official: Trump Isn’t Stopping Terrorism, He’s β€˜Staging It’ Trump's military incursion into American cities is designed to provoke a reaction.

β€œI co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop β€˜left-wing’ terrorism. He is staging it,” Taylor wrote. β€œHis troop deployments are a false flag β€” meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.”

Been having lunch in Reykjavik with varied Europeans that I’ve been with in some tours around Iceland & the consensus is that it is very, very worrying that America’s lunatic in chief has access to that political football. It’s been the same conversation for me in Finland, Scotland & France too.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

I am at the point, after observing the servile GOP lawmakers this year, that β€œI will believe it when I see it”. Those cowards have yet to find their courage which exists in a vacuum in their souls. Unless Trump drops dead and frees his flying monkeys, I don’t see it happening.

We already knew Rep. Mike Kelly R-PA & Sen. Ron Johnson R-WI caught the eye of Jan. 6 investigators. But this FBI document tells us something triggered a federal grand jury to get a subpoena for metadata phone records of 7 other GOP Senators as part of the Jan. 6 probe.

Social Security by Type as of 2023. 75.2% are Seniors/Retirees, 13.1% are people with disabilities and 11.7% are Survivors.

Please ALWAYS remember that SSDI/SSI & Spouse/Children Survivors in ADDITION to Seniors RECEIVE Social Security Benefits. I hear about it in reporting as Seniors & while they make up the majority of beneficiaries, we count too. It's IMPORTANT to my disability population that we're seen. Thank you.πŸ™πŸ’œ

It seems bad that the U.S. dollar has lost over 10% of its value since Trump took office. Maybe the president should do something about that?

It’s of note that during tonight’s hearing the DoJ didn’t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized.

We asked the judge to issue a broad order β€” one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state β€” stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.

She issued that order

There twice was a president named Trump
Who surrounded himself with sycophantic chumps.
One particular feller
Named Stephen β€œGobbels” Miller
Schemed to take over as POTUS and dump Trump.
