CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

UM. YouTube is saying that now that they arrested that little white boy who started the fire in the Palisades, they need to investigate where the $300 MILLION in donations went.

Apparently local news sources traced it as far as they could and it went to FAKE CHARITIES & execs pockets

It’s great that Dems are winning the messaging war on the shutdown and all but we don’t have the sort of time to just be at “they’ll pay for this at the polls midterms.” They need to get the public to broadly understand the immediate authoritarian crisis we are facing now.

However, part of the reason it has gone this far is that MEDIA is gutless...and has bowed to the stupid "both sides" b.s.🤮
Unless media steps up and CALLS A SPADE A SPADE, the country will be lost! @nbcnews.com@[email protected]

Old enough to remember when Dan Bongino was supposedly livid that the Epstein files weren’t being released and was on the verge of resigning. What happened to that?

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."
