There is absolutely nothing to celebrate. She's just as murderous as Maduro, encouraging and working with the Trump Admin to murder innocent people to set the stage for a bloody, neo-colonial takeover. One evil for another evil.

I am telling you that a large part of their dysfunction is that several Trump officials imagine themselves, constantly, as being in a social media sizzle reel where they display status and dominance over others. Their online personas are driving their actual behavior.
Kash Patel made the FBI buy a custom fleet of armored BMW X5 for him to ride around in. trib.al/9pBbwTB
Patel’s FBI spokesperson claimed—without evidence—that this is actually saving the American taxpayer money. The standard version of the X5 costs about $70,000.

The levee system in King County is stressed. The sheer number of days and the sheer amount of water is historic.
I’m mobilizing 100 members of the National Guard to respond. 50 will help patrol the levees. There will be eyes on the levees at all times.

This is being misunderstood. He was shot and kicked in the head after he heroically intervened in a mass shooting. He is now facing deportation, separately. The reason he is facing deportation is irrelevant ffs—it’s a gross indignity on top of the abuse he suffered *after* being mistakenly shot.

For his heroics, the asylum seeker was shot, kicked in the head, and now faces deportation. Today, the government also announced they are implementing Zionist lobbyist Jillian Segal’s plan to oversee Australian public life from education through to arts orgs and immigration. It’s completely fucked.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

Wow—the complaint above dated 1996 was made by Maria Farmer:
Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.

342 of our bridges are at the typical life expectancy of 80 years, or older.
80 of those are in poor condition.
That is totally unacceptable. Keeping our roads and bridges in good condition saves money and helps working families. It also creates good paying jobs for workers.

To be blunt, the state has neglected its core transportation infrastructure for too long.
Today, I announced that I'm proposing $2.1 billion, the largest investment in 2 decades, for preservation and maintenance of our roads and bridges. This is being done without raising taxes.
