Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

In 2016, at one of his campaign rallies, the Felon made a comment. After the rally a reporter asked if he meant what he said when he made that statement. His response: "I never said that."
The US has a serious problem w a dementia-addled POTUS who's losing his mental capacities as the world watches!

Rep. Jim Himes on Trump blowing up boats in the Caribbean: "The White House has not shared what they believe their legal justification is. They did put out a memo. I will tell you based on what I know now and the reading of that memo, these are illegal killings."

VirusSucks.com @virussucks.com · 8h

Children are sicker than ever, struggling in school, experiencing developmental delays, and suffering from immune system dysregulation. #LongCovid is now the number 1 chronic illness in children.

Many peer-reviewed science and legions of experts have called for clean air in public schools.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

Nothing screams “fiscal responsibility” like shutting down the government, jeopardizing military pay, and then pretending to be the adult in the room. Authoritarian incompetence wrapped in performative patriotism is still incompetence. #AuthoritarianGOPShutdown

BARTIROMO: What are the plans for military pay?

VANCE: We're doing some pretty non-conventional things to ensure our troops are able to get paid. But wouldn't it be great if the Democrats just opened up the government so that we did not have to make these very difficult decisions?

Trump's Secret Police force has a budget larger than most of the world’s militaries. It is:

* Terrorizing communities
* Ignoring constitutional rights
* Arresting US citizens without due cause
* Holding people for hours or even days before releasing them without charges

Trump Deploys Federal Forces—States Push Back Against Abuse of Power

Trump is using the military and federal law enforcement to build out a paramilitary policing force across the country.

From early this morning:

Is the president of the United States so confused that he doesn't remember that HE was president on January 6, 2021?

Or does he just think his followers won't remember?
