This needs to be all of us. Use every chance you can to peacefully, publicly protest. #ChrisKluwe is a hero.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Trump is clearly teetering toward senility. Officers must judge every order given by: 1 is it a legal order 2 is Trump in his right mind.

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayer’s dime.

The slightest stumble, the most insignificant event by Biden occurs and the media shrieks from the heavens.

Trump totters aimlesdly around a room in Japan, posts gibberish on social media, and makes incoherent word vegetable speeches and the media is pretty much silent.

Scarylawerguy is right.

Someone must lose their job over this cover up.

A tweet from Olivia George reads: “A Homeland Security agent working with D.C. police shot at a man during a traffic stop. A D.C. police officer told a judge he was instructed by a superior not to document the shooting in a court record, lawyers told @EmmaUber7 & me.”

A paragraph from a news article explains that a federal agent shot at an unarmed Black man during a traffic stop while working with D.C. police. Lawyers accuse city police of misconduct because the gunfire was omitted from the incident report. A D.C. police officer testified that a superior told him not to record the shooting in court documents, and all charges against the man were later dropped.

A follow-up tweet from Olivia George says: “We’ve updated the story with some more details.” She adds that a DHS spokesperson stated the agent fired “in fear for his life,” claiming the man drove at officers in an attempt to run them down. However, a D.C. officer testified that no law enforcement officers were in front of the car and that the man merely bumped into another civilian vehicle.
