What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

Garcia: It’s really shocking for him to essentially lean into this possibility of a pardon. And we know why that’s the case, right? He wants to control what she says. He wants her—someone who has a ton of information on what actually happened—to perhaps… omit memories she might have of the president

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

Soon it will be show us your papers. This must stop.

A tweet by James Surowiecki replying to David J. Bier. Surowiecki asks, “Where in the Immigration and Nationality Act does it say that US citizens have to prove that they're citizens or else be arrested?” The quoted tweet by Bier reads, “ICE agents to US citizen: Turn around or you're getting the dog,” accompanied by a photo of a man wearing a face mask and standing near vehicles at night.

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.
