If you're the Dems and you were scared of immigration as a topic before, I might try making it an issue now that masked goons are beating the shit out of innocent people in the streets on a daily basis. A lot of people are probably not down with this whatever their views on immigration are

We're relieved the White House backed off its plans to shut down a major interstate.

Remember, I reported about a week ago on Vance attending a "military event" in CA?

Newsom’s office is considering closing parts of I5 from Fri on due to WH-directed plan to have Navy ships, off Camp Pendleton’s coast (San Diego County), firing over the freeway onto the base.

Sky News, "If the government agrees, with everyone from the Bank of England, to the OBR, to their own treasury research, that Brexit is a drag on economic growth"

"And that Labour's number one priority is that very growth itself"

"Why not do something about it?"
