Let’s start figuring out right now how we are going to ensure this doesn’t go where we think it can.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

Kristi Noem should never have been confirmed after this. It ended up being a perfect representation of what she would do.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

Didn’t Bondi also say at her oversight hearing that Comey was indicted by one of the most liberal grand juries? That caught my attention as something that was strange for her to know.

"It's not known for sure but Epstein believes Trump was the one who tipped off the FBI, to avoid these possible links to Russian money laundering surface in court. This is when Alex Costa cuts that sweetheart deal with Epstein."

I'm not ashamed. I'm in a wormhole.

Just like Charlie Kirk's body was rushed off on a plane with government involvement before any independent investigation and autopsy could be done.

Nobody would be surprised at this point if Epstein were alive and roaming around with another face. Release the files.

These thirty seconds show a scandal of unbelievable proportion and it might as well never have happened. Just sucked into the vacuum of history immediately. I can't dwell on it or I'll go crazy.

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

🚨HOLY SHIT: Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego just confronted Mike Johnson as he walked by - and grilled him for “covering up” for predators by pushing Adelitta Grijalva’s swearing in.

This is how you confront COWARDS - with the truth and cameras rolling.

Alyssa Shanahan @earthtoalyssa.bsky.social · 2d

MORE OF THIS. On camera, sharing airspace, calling out every ounce of bullshit.

Trump just leaned over to her at the beginning of the Antifa roundtable they are doing and said "you did so good yesterday." So much for an independent DOJ.

Donald Trump whispered to Pam Bondi at the beginning of this roundtable on antifa, "You were so good yesterday."

If they really believe it is murder, why not let the powers that be take care of us in the afterlife? We're not a danger to society if we believe our environment is unsuitable to raise a child in.

Kevin Roberts of Heritage said way before the 2024 election that we were "in the middle of the second American revolution that shall remain bloodless if the left allows it." I think the left is trying every tactic but violence and doesn't want to give them the excuse to start a war.

Until that is fully unearthed, the will of the people will never be reflected in our politics. It's so much bigger than Trump and this administration, which is why it is requiring such a prolonged, multi-faceted effort. Keep the faith!
