Wouldn't it have been timely to include in this article that our new Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh is in the Epstein files? Here he is planning to spend Christmas 2010 with Epstein at St. Bart's - AFTER Epstein had pled guilty to procuring a child for prostitution in 2008. via @meidastouch.com

Trump's FBI raided an election office in Georgia, a state central to his baseless 2020 voter fraud conspiracy theories.
Meanwhile, he's continuing to let actual fraudsters and politically-connected crooks off the hook.
This is what weaponizing government looks like.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Trump and Vance have already lost. They thought Americans would embrace their policy of sending masked ICE agents to terrorize communities across the US.
Exactly the opposite happened.
Americans are standing up and saying NO. ICE is now at 63% disapproval and only 36% approval.
