One of Russia’s main supply routes from China has been shut down. From today, the border with Kazakhstan is fully stopped.. over 5,000 trucks are stuck, inspections are ongoing, and goods are being confiscated. Drones, EW gear, batteries, components, nothing is getting through.

Interestingly they said Trump would travel to the Middle East tomorrow after a medical inspection said it was safe for him to fly.

He's not well.

One of the reasons the Jack Smith investigations seemed to take forever is because Biden's DoJ *did* have their hands around the evidence before they indicted. And they'd have convicted, too, if it weren't for those pesky SCOTUS fellas. 1/

Hey, you guys? Is it a good sign or a bad sign if the prosecution is just getting its hands around the evidence *after* it criminally charged the former FBI director?

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 22h

At one point during the hearing, the judge asked the prosecution why the case can’t be tried before mid-December.

Lemons replied: We are “just getting our hands around” discovery in the case.

There’s lots of it, he added, and it includes a “significant” amount of classified information.

This cruelty towards children is part of a white supremacist culture that dehumanizes brown kids, just like Epstein dehumanized poor kids.
Maga grandstands about child trafficking kids while deporting minors snd covering up the billionaire pedos in the Epstein files.
Disgusting!

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d

ICE is using your tax dollars to target children.

A child in my district was deported days before the start of the school year.

We are demanding answers on why K-12 students are being arrested and whether the Department of Education is fulfilling their obligations to students in custody.

Representatives Ocasio-Cortez, Espaillat, and Goldman lead a letter demanding transparency on ICE detention of school-aged children.

There is a blank sheet of paper and underneath it, it says

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.
