NOTICE that Trump is calling the drugs allegedly smuggled by "Venezuelan members of Tren de Aragua" ARE WEAPONS. This is so obviously pretext to justify internment and deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.
Another US strike on a vessel alleged to be smuggling drugs in the Caribbean.

Once again, the specific entity and individuals targeted are not identified—simply labelled as "terrorists." 1/n

I hope it’s now (even more) obvious that having military in our streets, with instructions to ignore “stupid rules of engagement,” is not in any way intended to protect us or make us safer

Con troll. Check out their replies. They’re swarming folks. Just ‘hot takes’ and insults. Nothing constructive.
Well I bet he doesn’t turn down his pension in protest. Look at his accomplishments and he didn’t achieve anything but taxpayer spending on zero results. Billions of dollars spent on unachievable goals. Crippled a country that produced less than 2% world emissions. I wish him well at least.

“Sellout of the century.”

Appeal to my intellect, not to my emotions. It’s so CPC.
Carney’s deal with Danielle Smith is the sellout of the century: scrapping climate legislation for a pipeline that will never be built.

We need powerlines, not pipelines. Our path is through climate leadership & building good jobs in the clean economy.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.

“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

The Federal Government is not the problem.
The problem is greed, the price of the units and local development costs.
Why should federal taxpayers subsidize this?
