That what happens when you rush out a bunch of bullshit to make KIDNAPPING A CHILD look legit.

At a press conference today, the mayor of Everett said there was a knife found in the child’s possession but *no* gun. I followed up with ICE and asked if they stand by the screenshot shared yesterday. Spokesperson said DHS was working on a response. Five hours later, still nothing.

This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:

🚨 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.

I have been watching the devastating videos from friends and colleagues. Some folks are still missing in cold waters. The few news and info sources for locals are also the same ones being cut by federal funding. People should know this is happening

In a shocking revelation, when asked about the crime rate in Egypt, the Egyptian ruling class claimed there was no such thing and that they'd never heard of any. And yet they have about a trillionty police officers.

Some things never change.

Trump on Egypt: "They have very little crime. Because they don't play games. That's why. Like we do in the United States with governors that have no idea what they're doing."

I'm amazed now that I could remember our old-fashioned PO box combination when I was 6 or 7. I was SO proud that my older sister took time to teach it to me. Of course, I didn't realize until later she was offloading a task she felt was uncool
