Just amazing how many lies were posted online over the past week by right-wing grifters about the Brown shooter, and it’s the same people every single time. Minutes and hours after the next one they will be right back at it with lots of theories & “sources” - but none of it true.

If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara.

NEWS: Deputy AG Todd Blanche says the DOJ will only release a partial batch of the Epstein files today, rather than all of them. Blanche says DOJ needs more time to make redactions.

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.

Will Jordan release the video to the public?

If not, why not?

DoJ will NOT release all the Epstein files today. So predictable. They say they’ll release some today, and more later on a “rolling basis.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you

LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times

F: Not a 600% cut

L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. Thursday for unfettered access to the states’ voter registration records. The federal government has now filed lawsuits against 21 states, plus D.C.

This is a developing story...

The late Portuguese National, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, who committed the Brown and MIT murders, was granted permanent residence status (and given a “Green Card”) in September 2017, when DONALD J. TRUMP, was President of USA.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

The guy who has spent 70 million of YOUR money playing golf this year believes a one time payment of 2k will take care of ALL your health insurance needs. Also, a bellicose dictator trying to bribe troops already deployed in American cities & coaxed into war crimes is bad f’n news.

Surprise! It’s another scam!
Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man
