Donald Trump just made clear that Russ Vought’s illegal “reductions in force” are targeted at Democrats, which means he is targeting their constitutional rights of free speech and freedom of association. Blatantly illegal actions.

🚨 This is a video for Tizzy. Where is this? Who is this “man?” I have never seen a cop punch a woman or slam her into the ground. And the brazenness of doing it in front of children and passersby’s. Fuck this.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

If ATC employees can no longer pay childcare, they have to stay home & care for their kids. There are many situations like that, Duff. They don't have secondary income through bribes, grift, payoffs. Get real, dude. You & your cabinet weirdos cannot fathom the challenges that many Americans face.

One thing that should unite all Americans, it's this: Congress gets full pay for just 50 days of work in 10 months, and, the BEST healthcare money can buy, for them and their families, while claiming there's no money for our military, and slashing healthcare for ordinary Americans. That’s NOT right!

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

You might say, Seth, that's speculation.

But sadly, no.

For the 18 months my media outlet PROOF published more reports on January 6 than any other in the world, I repeatedly published Proud Boy videos in which they spoke of dressing in all black on January 6 so people would think they were antifa.

It goes without saying that there was never any reason for Trump voters to believe antifa would show up on January 6. I think they get that now. Which is why they are not going to make the same mistake again. This time they will use agent provocateurs dressed all in black to spark violence all over.

Most don't know this—and it makes no sense—but all the research I did for PROOF OF COUP confirms that MAGA had somehow convinced itself that antifa would appear on January 6, there'd be a battle, the Insurrection Act would be invoked, Trump would be king.

Antifa never showed. So they lied about it.

These people have a clear history: they repeatedly falsely accuse the left of false flag ops so that when the time comes they can infiltrate a peaceful leftist protest, create havoc, and give Trump an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Folks.... that's exactly what January 6 was intended to be.
