James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

All states must be ready to hold ICE accountable to the US Constitution and arrest and educate smug thugs like the guy below who thinks he can ignore the Fourth Amendment.
ICE agents entered a NJ building without a warrant, arrested someone. WA state governor Bob Ferguson sent a letter to DHS warning such unconstitutional acts, if done in WA state, may lead to the arrest of ICE agents. See below #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

CBP shot this woman and then defamed her using every means at their disposal. In a just world they would have to turn their whole yearly budget over to her for punitive damages
Martinez is recounting her harrowing experience: after being shot by CBP agents, she drove a mile to the safety of an auto shop where she called 911, got treatment at a hospital for 7 bullet wounds, then was immediately taken into custody by federal agents.

Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."
