“I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop ‘left-wing’ terrorism. He is staging it,” Taylor wrote. “His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.”

Is the Regime deliberately staging troops in advance of divulging the Epstein files?Because what is in there must be so despicable and disturbing that they are preparing for the mass protest demanding resignations of incriminated people and this will trigger Trump to declare Martial Law.

That's why it's time to #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinFiles.

Trump won't meet w/survivors. Why?

Survivors have not been invited to testify before Congress. Why?

Mike Johnson is stalling to keep the House from voting on releasing the Epstein files. Why?

The GOP is the party of #PedophileProtectors.

Nice to see Sen. Gallego and Kelly going to bat for Adelita Grijalva, as they and everyone else should be.
Speaker Johnson is stalling her swearing-in because her vote would help finally reveal the Epstein files.

Broadview, Illinois citizens can't breathe when they leave their homes because of ICE thugs overuse of tear gas.

This is Trump's America.

Federal officers are firing so much tear gas at protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, that some nearby community members who aren’t even protesting are struggling to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands.

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.
