Kate Sills for Congress (CA-05)
www.katesills.com
My name is Kate Sills, and I'm running for Congress for my brother.
He's in the Navy & our military is being asked to kill civilians.
These are unlawful orders.
Now Trump has called for people like me, who are standing up for our military, to be hanged.
Can you help me?

It’s easy to forget since he’s still a high public official but Homan straight up took $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on camera and then nothing happened

this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.
He thought he was going to die.
Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.
And a mob of agents killed him.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”
The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Cosponsors are good. Cosponsors without ever forcing a vote on it, not so much. And any one of them could force that vote at any time, and do it as many times as they want.
146 House Democrats back the articles of impeachment I introduced against Secretary Noem.
Secretary Noem has blood on her hands. Under her leadership, Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good were murdered.
Impeach Noem. Get ICE out of our cities.

Previous US presidents lost public support overseas because of their military misadventures and diplomatic failures. Feels important to understand that it will be a period where people's views of domestic America become less favorable.
And the overseas press will not feel need do both sides.

I think, regardless of circumstances, if you are able to help put ten bullets into a supine civilian and then go to work the next day, you are past the point of being able to be reintegrated into society.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.
