It’s genuinely bizarre that people who refuse to show their face or identify themselves are demanding identification from people who are fully visible.

NEWS: A federal judge found that ICE had repeatedly retaliated against peaceful protesters in unconstitutional ways — and barred agents involved in Minnesota's "Operation Metro Surge" from using similar tactics and force.

Coordinated a beer drop by a white friend to deliver a 30-rack of Hamm’s to a Hispanic friend’s doorstep because his wife wouldn’t let him leave the house to go buy more beer for fear he’d be brutalized by lawless armed masked federal paramilitaries. This is Minnesota community. We take care of us.

Now that we’re all about “complying with the law” re Minnesota, does that extend to complying with the law re Epstein files?

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

Thank a #Republican voter.
China senses opportunity. The political upheaval in Venezuela and Iran, including military strikes by the Trump administration — could provide opportunities for China to bolster its claim to being a reliable, stabilizing alternative to a U.S.-led world order.

China is trying to position itself as a stabilizing force amid U.S. actions on Venezuela and Iran — but its commitment to allies is largely pragmatic, analysts say.

Given the intense public interest in the Epstein case, there ought to be no need to go to court to obtain this information about Ghislaine Maxwell.

But with Trump’s DOJ brazenly violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act, it’s no shocker that the Bureau of Prisons has not been forthcoming.

GOP politics is decaying into mush along with Trump's brain. Republicans' frontal assault on healthcare affordability and access alone would likely have been enough to ensure a terrible midterm result in November. But this fake "Trump Plan" will be the basis for untold numbers of mocking D ads.
Q: Can you explain how your healthcare plan will affect premiums?

TRUMP: It's a tremendous thing. It's called the great healthcare plan. And we're gonna get tremendous, uh, reductions through, uh, if you look at prescription drugs, they're gonna come down by numbers that have never been seen before

THOUSANDS of men and women have died for this country because they were told they were DEFENDING DEMOCRACY.

The GOP members of congress will not even risk their jobs to save our country. Think about that. They risk nothing more than have to find another job after the next election.

It seems painfully obvious that the ICESTAPO are the ones that are instigating the violence.

Yet the democratic "leaders?" are not out screaming this narrative. WHY?

instead all the reporting is what the lying regime is spouting.
