Rep Robert Garcia just dropped a bombshell 🔥

The House Oversight Committee is forming a joint investigative unit with the Senate to track and expose every single act of ICE misconduct.
Accountability is coming.
No more hiding behind badges. No more abuse without consequence.

Republicons are thieves. They give no accounting. They have fired the accountants.

Miners and their advocates are begging the administration to enforce a Biden-era rule meant to protect them.

Black lung keeps killing America's coal miners. Does Donald Trump even care?

To every conservative boss, to every asshole neighbor, to every bossy family member, the response should now be:

"I HAVEN'T SEEN IT. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I'VE BEEN BUSY."

If it's good enough for trump's little johnson and the republicons, it's good enough for the rest of us.

We knew Trump attendees were paid. They admitted it and the ads were on Craigslist.

Every accusation is a confession, from death camps to child trafficking.

So, now we have the truth. The AG stated if everyone is using the same signs it's because they are paid to be there.

President Trump is trying to create one giant national police force under his command by strong-arming local law enforcement agencies into helping ICE carry out immigration raids.

This is a danger to our rights and undermines the checks and balances essential to a democracy.

Trump “National Police Force” Built on ICE Partnerships With Local Agencies Like… Wildlife Commissions?

Trump is using ICE partnerships and lies about immigrant crime waves to create a national police force that operates under his orders.

A lot of wealthy and powerful people helped Epstein fund his sex trafficking operation. The American people deserve to know who they are. Secretary Bessent, like his boss, is covering it up. I’m going to keep following the money. Stay tuned.

Another mystery: By 2013 concerns over Epstein's criminal activity boiled over at JPMC. Top execs finally agreed to ditch him as a client. They then waited SIX YEARS to flag his suspicious transactions to FinCEN, even though federal law requires they be flagged right away.

I want to know: with respect to Epstein’s crimes, what did JPMC execs know and when did they know it? If Dimon really knew nothing about Epstein, then how does he explain reported internal emails from his employees flagging Epstein’s activity for him?

America is being run by people whose social media presence would see them getting fired from a part time job stacking shelves.
If you worked at Aldi and posted a video of you pouring shit all over Aldi customers, you wouldn't work at Aldi.
