Six federal prosecutors have now resigned over DOJ’s directive to investigate the MN victim’s wife instead of the ICE shooter. THIS is weaponization of law enforcement.

It’s me. I gave all my money to the wine mom gangs
Trump, during an "economic" speech today in Detroit, can't help but fixate on "wine mom gangs," saying they're "doing these fake riots." They go practice. They go to areas, they take hotel rooms, and they all practice together. It’s a whole scam. We’re finding out who’s funding all this stuff."

1/In a typical ramble on Truth Social Trump attacked Minnesota Dems: “love the unrest that anarchists and professional agitators are causing because it gets the spotlight off of the 19 Billion Dollars that was stolen by really bad and deranged people,” referring to fraud allegations in the state.

2/What’s really happening is that Trump has managed to take the spotlight off of DOJ‘s failure to comply with the Epstein files transparency act. Let’s not let him get away with that.

Some context: it took me almost a year and multiple applications to get a GS-5 ($34K annual salary) clerk job at the Department of Veterans Affairs. At the time, I had an MBA and a decade of management experience.
A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime.

Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

The Clintons are betting that by the time their subpoena is litigated, we will have a Dem majority in the house that will withdraw the subpoena. A pretty good bet.
Breaking NYT:

The Clintons have refused to testify in the House's Epstein investigation — effectively daring James Comer to follow through on his threats to hold them in contempt.

"Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight … For us, now is that time."

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

All of the files need to be released immediately so that all of the survivors can get justice and accountability.

Obstructing traffic doesn’t justify lethal force.

The agent's own video shows that he was to the side of Renee Good’s car when he fired his gun.

Multiple law enforcement officers have said those shots weren’t justified. This isn’t about vibes or politics—it’s about accountability. Investigate it.
