I spend a lot of time, thinking about all of the reforms that will be necessary when this regime ends

Six federal prosecutors have now resigned over DOJ’s directive to investigate the MN victim’s wife instead of the ICE shooter. THIS is weaponization of law enforcement.

This is a must read…
A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

The body camera clearly shows she was murdered by this thug. Why has he not been arrested?
Yes, it is beyond insanity. Luckily, the American people aren’t buying it.

And after murdering her he left the scene. How is it possible this is happening in our country? I am gutted.
The video is crystal clear. No need to show it here, it's everywhere.
A Trump ICE agent stood on the side of a vehicle that was slowly driving away, non-confrontationally, and fired into an open window at a 37-year-old woman driver, at point blank range, in the face, killing her.
This was murder.

Huh. Given the events in Venezuela this just seems to contradict what happened there, but what do I know? Perplexed…🤔
Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

Seems sort of premeditated to me…something to do with mail in ballots? 🤔
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Rob Reiner was an American Icon who, through his art and activism, held a mirror up to American culture. His talent, humor, activism, and patriotism will be missed. Our heart breaks at the senseless loss of our friend.
