After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Tremendous thanks to Cory Doctorow for helping us get the word out about Blue Bonds, MotL's fiscal strategy for mobilizing sub-federal debt financing to defeat authoritarian sabotage & extortion.

I was quite happy when Joe Biden was elected, and I love what he's done during his presidency. However, his DOJ let Americans down. Trump should have been charged the 1st mo. of 2021 and been in jail long before the 2024 election. We wouldn't be where we are now if they had done their jobs.

IT WAS ALL STAGED. IT WAS FAKE except for the one guy killed accidentally or maybe not, and then they killed the fake shooter. The shooter was not the person they said was the shooter. This entire thing was a sham.

What Trump seems to forget about Jan 6, was that HE and not Biden was the president at the time and therefore it was his FBI!…….

Yet another reason to invoke the 25th amendment!

I agree! It's time that the states take control. There are more of us than them. They work for us. If we keep our money in our states, we would probably have more. The wealthy are getting wealthier through our federal tax dollars.

Yes! Drain the swamp....their words. Not ours!

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
