When you fire 1/3rd of your agents because they investigated Trump and transfer another 1/3rd to ICE & CBP, that doesn’t leave you with a lot of manpower.
Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.

Trump claims it’s 200,000 - 300,000 that die from fentanyl every year. It’s more like 50,000.
And, more importantly, it’s not a military weapon.

Is Trump taking credit for Rob Reiner’s murder?
It definitely looks like it.

I should have lost the capacity to be shocked long ago, yet Trump still finds ways to shock me. What a pathetic, soulless shell of a person. Congratulations to the GOP on carrying this turd on your shoulders as you march toward the midterms.

However, with this one, my average heart rate was 5bpm slower and the max was 8bpm slower.

Why would I want a town hall with someone who isn’t a politician?
I don’t even like town halls with politicians, and it’s not about the politicians.
I’ve spend decades working public meetings. Town halls are the worst format. It’s created so the loudest people can ask the stupidest questions.
