All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Everyone is (rightfully) talking about that tweet-turned-letter to Norway, but I think the even bigger reason to impeach is INVITING FREAKING POO-TIN TO A PEACE COMMITTEE. Idk what would prove treason louder than that.
But next week there will be a new reason, and Congress will still ignore it.

Does anyone else remember from like a month ago, when the excuse for bombing ships without presenting evidence was "narco-terrorists don't get due process," and some people were like, "so can you just shoot anyone and claim they were terrorists now?" and everyone laughed that off as ridiculous...?

They are now missing!? This hellscape keeps getting worse. We have the benefit of history, and information-age technology. Apathy is completely unacceptable.
This is not about immigration enforcement. It’s about suppression of freedom and ethnic cleansing.
