According to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, the suspect of the National Guard shooting in Washington D.C. is said to, at one point, have worked with the CIA in one of its paramilitary groups also known as “Zero Units.”
But what are "Zero Units?"

Finally people are starting to pay attention and offering facts to those “originalists” in the legal community who should be confronted with the truth.

It is all too early, but there has been reporting that foreign terrorist cells have been calling for their adherents to carry out lone wolf attacks in the US now that Trump, Noem, Bondi and Patel have switched federal law enforcement onto immigration rather than terror threats. Sigh.

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people.
But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no.

I just think Trump understands Mamdani is not someone he wants to tangle with. Too smart, too charismatic, too New York, too straightforward, too young. Easier targets elsewhere, like everyone who works for him and most of Congress. (1/2)

The House voted 230 to 176 to allow oil and gas companies to write a government report about why oil and gas refineries aren't making them enough money. Just trademark corruption.
And yet 25 Democrats voted for it.

Why do they think they should have more of a say than DC residents?
Why do they want to enable Trump's fascism?

It’s probably not the worst thing that courts & judges are getting weaned off defaulting to the notion of “the presumption of regularity” when the DOJ comes before them. The separation of powers is stronger if the courts are unbiased about the parties that come before them.

I think it’s important to point out that not all of the estimated 1,000+ girls preyed upon by the Epstein-Maxwell sex trafficking scheme are “survivors”. A number of them are dead all or in part because of the trauma and cruelty that they experienced as a result of being drawn in.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."
When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.
