She Won, Part X: VR Systems, 151 Fake Vote By Mail Reports, and a False Certification.

Could Florida’s precedents, Boardman v. Esteva and Taylor v. Martin County, invalidate election results without auditing a single ballot?

NEW: TN’s Senators Blackburn & Hagerty joined Republicans in blocking a resolution that would’ve forced Trump to get congressional approval for targeted killings.

AP: The Trump admin hasn’t shown Congress any evidence that the targeted boats were smuggling drugs.

Why isn’t the media showing ring camera footage of possible suspects or vehicles from neighbors or asking for the help of anyone who might have seen anything suspicious? The normal questions when you want ti locate a person who attempted to murder a judge & her family in broad daylight. WT actual F!

There is a 3rd interview as well, in which this same guy pretended to be from the Middle East somewhere. I’ll have to look it up.

ICE is sending people to a prison in Africa’s only absolute monarchy www.motherjones.com/politics/202... #ProudBlue. Trump Regime is disappearing deportees into a true “Hell Hole” prison in the country of Eswatini. They have no set sentence or release date. They simply cease to exist. This is murder

Trump’s brain: “Casing-bookcase-bookshelf … SHELF! That’s the word I’m looking for.”

This regime has probably got a list of Dems, with the help of AI, flagged for harassment. They are all a bunch of f-cking adolescents.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

America doesn’t want a drug policy that enriches the wannabe dictator and his family.

It’s ALWAYS about the grift.

WATCH: @chrislhayes.bsky.social explains precisely why Mike Johnson is stalling the new Dem rep's swear-in over the Epstein vote: "Right now, Johnson can pressure the four Republican signers to change their minds. He has time to do it—as long as he keeps Adelita Grijalva out of Congress."

I’d be pretty bummed if I were the founder of Antifa and my girlfriend, who doesn’t even have a name, got arrested on no charges, in no disclosed location, by Kristi Noem.

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

It makes perfect sense if you just created your own RX company. That’s 3 times the profit.

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦
He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼
