When everything feels like it’s falling apart, remember: the leaves don’t fall because the tree is dying, but because it’s getting ready for new growth. We have to release what we can’t carry anymore to survive the season ahead. What looks like an ending is often a transformation.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

If you live in a red state, you’re getting screwed the hardest by Trump and Republicans.

📌 The top 10 states facing the highest projected premium increases are all Republican led.

“The idea that you’re going to arrest people… just because they oppose the president of the United States, there is something genuinely wrong with this man and the 25th Amendment ought to be invoked.” --Gov. JB Pritzger

Yes…I’m aware, but it becomes much more relevant if they go after Jack Smith in court as they are doing to all of the 🍊🐖’s political “enemies.”

Now that Tom Homan is border czar, his former business associate Charles Sowell is continuing to work with companies actively seeking to land a chunk of the $45 billion Congress approved to spend on immigration detention.

➡️ Read the full story: https://propub.li/3IusbGP

Article excerpt: After Trump won and formally announced Homan would be returning with him to the White House, Sowell kept Homan on his payroll until the end of the year. Once named as the border czar, Homan said he would recuse himself from contracting, saying he would have no “involvement, discussion, input, or decision of any future government contracts.”

But several industry executives who spoke with ProPublica said at least half a dozen companies vying for a slice of the $45 billion Congress has allocated for immigration detention work had hired Sowell because he had led them to believe his connections to Homan would help their chances of winning government work.

Homan's business relationships are under greater scrutiny after MSNBC reported an FBI sting that allegedly caught him on tape accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover agents posing as would-be government contractors before he took the border czar post.

His relationship with Sowell raises fresh questions about the integrity of the billion-dollar contracting process for immigration enforcement, ethics experts say.

You know Elon, if you send food to these people, you'll probably win the Nobel Peace Prize. That will totally mess with Donald Trump's head. You know you want to do it.

Showing up on election day would be a good start. Many millions can't be bothered.

Attend peaceful rallies, general strikes and boycotts, making our voices heard to our elected officials AND the media, donate to candidates and organizations that are resisting....SOMETHING other than nothing.
