Administration lying in sworn statements.
“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Absolutely disgusting fly-tipping just off Niddrie Mains Road, opposite the White House.

He inspires me. So I'm delighted to have his backing.

Is this undercover or secret police? If the latter, are people being targeted and imprisoned for their beliefs? Is this the USA 2025 or another dystopian novel with a strong female lead? Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favour
