AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

How do we deal with a culture of abuse? What is our part in ending it? How do we deal with an abusive cult of millions?

this is as open an admission that an entire agency is engaging in routine constitutional violations that I can imagine
Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Nexstar, the largest owner of ABC stations, has business before Carr's FCC: Not only do they need him to bless their $6.2 billion merger with Nexstar, but they also need him to relax the national ownership cap that prevents them from getting bigger.

the msm at this point is complicit in hiding what’s happening in dc from the country. such a startlingly few number of people on our tour so far even know what’s happening. i’m having to educate concertgoers about the checkpoints from the stage
