🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. Thursday for unfettered access to the states’ voter registration records. The federal government has now filed lawsuits against 21 states, plus D.C.

People who put up with taxpayer-funded attacks (kidnapping, assault, concentration camps) on our communities believe that banning guns is extreme.

You know, someone needs to sue over this "detain" vs "arrest" distinction. In my mind detention is for a brief questioning. It never involves keeping someone in a locked facility - no matter how short. And, DHS can't simply play word games.

He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office.
Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason
