One more time: As it’s not “weaponization of justice” for law enforcement to prosecute someone who committed crimes trying to rob a bank, it’s also not weaponization of justice for law enforcement to prosecute someone who committed crimes trying to overthrow an American election.

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

(Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

Let's not let anyone get away with pretending ICE is at any disadvantage here. These guys travel in big packs- usually 6+ unmarked vehicles; carrying dozens of war zone ready men, masked and heavily armed. ICE is the predator going after regular people and peaceful protestors.

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has previously said...that government shutdowns are on the president and all you need to do is get everyone in a room and have a serious conversation. And they're refusing to do that. They are holding people's healthcare hostage."

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier--

BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for

JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started

BASH: So this is retribution then

These are agents who were sent AFTER the violent insurrection was well underway. Kash Patel issued a statement that said that after a fringe right wing outlet reported it falsely. But Trump chooses to run with the lie from them rather than the statement from his FBI Director.

The current sitting president (who may or may not be aware of that fact) just told you that Joe Biden was president on January,06, 2021. Harmless slip up? Absolutely not.

I’ve heard people call him “dumb” now for a decade. He’s enriched himself, gotten away with insurrection & is in the most powerful seat on the planet. NO ONE has stopped him. NO ONE was even prepared for ANYTHING he’s done. Who’s dumb??

You’re being PLAYED.
