Hochul: "This is what I call a legal insurrection ... they know they're going to lose next year. That's the only reason they're engaged in this. It also might be a nice distraction from people asking -- all of the sudden this happens when? When they refuse to release the Epstein files."

Flock of Canada geese laid out of the walking path in a park. It was either take your chances and walk through or turn around. I chose to take my chances. They grudgingly moved.

FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating:

*foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets
*foreign and domestic terrorist threats
*crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)

Do you feel safer?

As everything goes to hell, Trump will ramp up his authoritarianism.

Might be too late to stop it, but I hope not.

We have the numbers, but the establishment, billionaires, and corporate media are still paving the road for King Trump.

Trump considering deploying up to 1,000 National Guard to D.C. The number of Guard who would be assigned is still in flux, the officials say, and most of the troops would likely be pulled from the D.C. National Guard.

Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. We’re far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

US funded anti-government far right propaganda networks & botnets have increased activity targeting Mexico, flooding social media with disinformation that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and her government are operating alongside the cartels. This is a US destabilization op.

I don't know, man - I dined at a Waffle House in Fayetteville, NC yesterday and every server and cook was black and under 45 and they were serving everyone.

Food was *on point*, too.

Look inside America, it's alright.

Tomorrow the guy who told us he couldn't deploy DC National Guard on Jan 6 is gonna deploy the DC National Guard and no one in the media will ask him about the previous lie.
Not one of them.

Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring.

And then that guy was "silenced" forever.

And now we will just not talk about anything else until they...

The only reason you assassinate every Al Jazeera journalist left in Gaza is because you don’t want anyone to document the genocide you are about to accelerate.

Any politician and any journalist who cannot call this genocide for what it is, is complicit, and I hope history remembers you as such.

D.C. is not a dangerous city.

Nor is L.A.

The only danger is the Trump regime and its secret police forceβ€”ICE.

They are committing crimes.
They are terrorizing communities.
They are tearing families apart.
They are kidnapping people.

They are the problem.

And we the people are done with them.

It is reported that Paolo Zampolli used to own a network that brought beautiful prostitutes to wealthy men.

The network worked under the guise of recruiting models for fashion shows and beauty pageants.

Reportedly, Paolo found Melania for Trump and brought her to the United States.

Tomorrow, the President is going to order the national guard to militarize the nation's capital (despite crime being at a 30 year low) after sending Congress home to prevent them from investigating evidence he committed sex crimes against children.

The Congressional GOP is unified behind him.

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.

He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.

Speechless.
