I hate to be a Debbie Downer but I wouldn't get too excited about a House Judiciary hearing with Jack Smith. If Mueller and Garland serve as examples, these guys tend to say very little beyond "no comment."

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

This weekend, three men in Evanston hugged their families goodbye to look for work at Home Depot but were attacked by ICE before they could return home.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

HEY GOP JACKASSES,
The American Revolution started when 13 of Britain's North American colonies rejected its imperial rule.
The protest began in opposition to taxes levied without colonial representation by the British monarchy and Parliament.
THE GOP IS BRITAIN.

FYI, and apologies if you know this already, Schiff's office doesn't respond to mentions here and they may not even be reading them. Unfortunately we'll have to call his office to tell him what a shit-heel he is.

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

If you want to know what kind of Senator Janet Mills might be, remember that she's running as Chuck Schumer's preferred candidate and with his full backing.

Should she win, we can expect more strongly worded letters, hoping really hard for Trump to do the right thing, and AIPAC calling the shots.
