As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

FOX: What was the reaction among European leaders when you decided to call Putin during your meeting?
TRUMP: I didn't do it in front of them. I thought that would be disrespectful to President Putin.

Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C.

Is there any proof that these men were “federal agents”?
The video labels them that but the post notes they were masked and unidentified.
Looks like an attempted carjacking, not anything resembling an arrest.
They ask for badges and the guy silently puts on black gloves?

Video shows the family fleeing after masked and unidentified men attempted to detain them and firing three gun shots at the passenger side door behind where the son was sitting.

The CDC shooting didn’t even really register in the news and the details are absolutely insane
First the terrorist tried to enter campus in a car filled with guns. When he wasn’t allowed past the gates, he started firing from a CVS drugstore across the street. From a semi-automatic weapon, 500 shots is a lot. He was at it for a long time.
Here are the weapons & shell casings he left behind.

There was NO EMERGENCY to justify tariffs.
There was NO “INVASION” to justify this migrant crackdown.
And there is NO “EMERGENCY” that justifies military takeover of local law enforcement in D.C.
