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

The regime doesn't dare allow midterm elections in which they would likely loose the House & perhaps the Senate. They will almost certainly do what it takes to hold power including using troops/ HSI paramilitaries to close polling places, seize ballot boxes, detain opposition candidates

As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

I'd expect that a Dem House would mean the Epstein files are released. Survivors maintain that there is photo & video evidence of Trump sexually & verbally abusing young teen girls. This would provide cover in the Senate with a flood of Repubs looking to finally be rid of him with prejudice.

Crimping their access to a six lane race track slicing thru the neighborhood of single family homes is violating their fundamental rights to keep Kemp Mill like it was in the 1970s despite the world changing around them.

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

It seems likely perhaps inescapable at this point that Trump and his more ideologically driven handlers are very deliberately pushing for conditions at least adjacent to civil war as a basis for canceling the 2026 mid-terms. They are well aware that jail is awaiting them if they loose the congress.
