EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Surely the Epstein files have had maga related sections deleted by now.

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 8h

So they’re keeping the House in recess for another week (see his follow up)?

To delay the Epstein Files and, I guess, avoid the No Kings rally on 10/18?

They are in full blown pants pissing panic

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

Washington, D.C. – Today, House Speaker Mike Johnson blamed the peaceful No Kings Day of Action on October 18 for the ongoing government shutdown. After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings coalition issued the following statement:

“Speaker Johnson is running out of excuses for keeping the government shut down. Instead of reopening the government, preserving affordable healthcare, or lowering costs for working families, he’s attacking millions of Americans who are peacefully coming together to say that America belongs to its people, not to kings.

“We’ll see everyone on October 18.”

All No Kings events adhere to a shared commitment to nonviolent protest and community safety. Organizers are trained in de-escalation and are working closely with local partners to ensure peaceful and powerful actions nationwide.

They are looking for a way to blame Biden.

Thanks. Interesting article. Seems that Qatar may be the victim of Saudi propaganda that may, unfortunately, be based on facts. I couldn’t get your link so hope this works for others. www.iar-gwu.org/print-archiv...

Why buy a failing currency? Who in trump’s orbit is making money with this?

BelindaMavora @belindamavora.bsky.social · 8h

In 8 years trump has gone from accusing Qatar of funding terrorists to allowing them to establish a training post on US soil. 1000 personnel and fighter jets. Who will be vetting the personnel?
