DOJ withheld evidence from the grand jury which would possibly negate the charges against Letitia James.
Halligan claimed Hames was going to rent the property as a second home but James never rented it. She lived there.

As you head into your weekend, please set aside just $10 for Sandy, who needs to pay a home aide to help her do such basic tasks as eating, bathing, and using the commode. It's week to week as to whether Sandy can afford that help to get her though her final days.

Thank you for your kindness.

They cannot talk about the shutdown without lying.

There is no connection between troop payments and federal employee layoffs. Zero.

They are paying the troops with multiyear R&D allocations within DOD. This is also illegal by the way! But completely disconnected to the layoffs.

WELKER: During the 2019 shutdown when Trump was president, no federal workers were laid off. Why are these firings necessary?

VANCE: Who do we care more about- federal bureaucrats or the troops getting the payment they need?

WELKER: But layoffs are a priority?

VANCE: They have forced us to choose

#BarronTrump reportedly made about $80 million from #Bitcoin and #crypto investments. He placed a multi million dollar short just 30 minutes before his dad’s tariff announcement.

The “No Kings” protests, now a national movement, aim to surpass previous records with over 2,400 events nationwide. Millions have already joined peaceful demonstrations to defend democracy, sending a clear message: in America, there are no kings—only empowered people.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

You’re Not Following Christianity IF…

…you wear the cross but ignore compassion, mercy, and humility.

…you preach “family values” but exploit fear, division, or corruption.

Bondi, Leavitt, Noem, Johnson: Christianity isn’t a brand strategy. If it’s not in your actions, it’s not real.

The 14th amendment calls giving aid or comfort to an enemy "disqualifying." Article V calls giving aid and comfort to an enemy "treason."

Is there a more blatant example of giving aid and comfort to an enemy than installing it as president?

Tricia McLaughlin "Deborah Brockman (from WGN)...threw objects at border patrol’s car, and she was placed under arrest for assault[ing an]...officer.”

Border Patrol released her, and no charges have been filed.

If she actually did assault them, there would be charges. Homeland Security is lying.
