This U.S was not born of freedom but of theft. Its soil was taken by extermination, its wealth built on enslaved bodies, its order enforced through terror. Violence was not the cost of creation but the currency of it.
So stop saying this is "unamerican." This is uniquely American - unless we stop it

Violence by regime secret police against the people the U.S were supposed to safeguard … people yearning to be free

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

Your constant reminder that bribe for hire Pam Bondi isn’t an attorney general by any means, she’s a criminal who was installed by a criminal to cover up his crimes and the crimes of other powerful rich criminals. Any testimony she gives is a complete bullshit perjury rant.
