The military takeover of Washington isn’t a “distraction” from Epstein — it’s a military takeover of Washington. That’s an even bigger deal, and anyone who’s been paying attention knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

“I’ve lived here almost 50 years— The most violent moment was January 6th 2021 when Trump's supporters charged into the Capitol and beat cops. Trump's response to that was to pardon everyone involved.”

Those Epstein files must be wild

So, no national guard on January 6th, but definitely on August 11th. Makes total sense.

Cities hope to attract more police officers by cutting education requirements Some cities hope that relaxing education hiring standards may solve lingering staffing shortages. Is that a good idea?

I think a lot of Americans believe their country is the one they learned about in school. They haven’t grasped the fact that it’s well on the way to becoming a Christofascist dictatorship.

New ICE agents get $60k in student debt relief. Ain't that something.

#ICE Agents Tear Down Cameras And Break Doors And Windows At Restaurant in Burbank

Only criminals would need to do this. They know they're breaking the law, and they're destroying anything that can give evidence.

#Nuremburg style trials can't come fast enough.

I’m Not Panicking. I’m Outraged. Read more here.

What if Pam Bondi did decide to open an investigation into why I stopped posting on Twitter? Would the legacy media treat it with outrage or with skeptical bemusement?

Or would everyone just look away and hope it doesn’t happen to them next? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/im-n...

Significant portions of Article I of the U.S. Constitution were removed from the version published on Congress’ official Constitution website. Large parts of Section 8(which outlines the powers of Congress) were deleted, and Sections 9 and 10,

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

This Tuckahoe home won a $1.26 billion contract for an ICE detention center. The owner isn't talking. The company’s website is dated and largely accessible only via login.

how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...

EX GREEN BERET: “In my entire career, I never witnessed the brutality and use of indiscriminate & unnecessary force against an unarmed, starving civilian population until I was in Gaza at the hands of IDF & US contractors… without question, war crimes.”

I’m so very sorry. I cared for my husband at home for the last 6 months of his life. It can be a rewarding time, though sad and difficult as well. We both worked, cooked, watched movies, had family and friends over. Cried a bit too. Engage hospice if you haven’t already. If you ever need an ear…

Jfc…NASA science programs can no longer even go “yay we accomplished this!” in their last days before termination. The absolute petty cruelty.

Nobody, I mean NOBODY, hates America as much as Donald Trump does. This all comes down to revenge.
