We may never get the full story when our government is engaged in such concerted deception of its own citizens. Republicans won’t ask them. It is falling on Democrats to ask the questions that need asking.

But we need a whole lot more. And let’s face it: Time is running out. trib.al/7474wQI

As Californians know, it depends on the civilians…
The deranged WH menace wants to invade San Francisco now with the National Guard, a day after the shell exploded over I-5 down south. 😡 SF’s Mayor Lurie does not want the NG, Gov. Newsom doesn’t want the NG.

Pete Hegseth conducted a live fire exercise over I-5 as part of a made-for-Fox stunt for him and Vance which had a misfire that struck a Highway Patrol vehicle and could have killed people?

Who could have foreseen this?

Just look at the facts.
