My 30-something son recently asked how I had become such a passionate supporter of civil rights and social justice.
I thought back to my childhood. It was 1963, I was 12 years old, watching the evening news. I saw dogs

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

Marco Rubio, a central figure in the U.S. campaign against Venezuela, has another country as his ultimate target, according to historian Alejandro Velasco. "Marco Rubio's primary interest in the region is not Venezuela, it's not Colombia, it's not Mexico — it's Cuba."

Quotes from the Jack Smith Deposition
Way to go! They got the $500K and Denis is fine!
GU R released video showing how its multi‑stage op saved Russian Volunteer Corps commander Denis Kapustin’s life. As part of the plan, they created a fake drone strike video on a van and staged the “aftermath” with a burning vehicle to fool Russian services who had put up a $500,000 hit.

Listen to Jack Smith's deposition. While it may be long, it's crystal clear.
This snippet perfectly illustrates why we need to completely reform the Supreme Court
Because it was a SCOTUS packed with MAGA judges-chosen by Trump himself-that shamefully deprived America of its rightful justice by granting him immunity and destroying any chance Jack Smith had to prosecute him

Jack Smith: I believe we had proof beyond a reasonable doubt in both cases.

Smith’s testimony is bringing up long buried fury about January 6. I was so angry that day. They all should have gone to prison, especially trump and his evil henchmen.
Don’t forget about Green, Grassley, Boebert and the rest who are trying to redeem themselves in their own pathetic way.

Trump vetoes Miccosukee flood protection, citing tribe’s opposition to ‘Alligator Alcatraz’
The Miccosukee Tribe’s lawsuit contesting an immigration detention facility in the Everglades cost them federally funded flood protection, at least if President Donald Trump gets his way.

Why?
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

Not sure people are getting the real importance of the Russians fooling Trump about the Ukrainians attacking Putin's house. It was to demonstrate just how much they control his thinking--how much he is in their pocket. And it worked.
