Friendly reminder that you don't have to hack and harass an innocent person who did nothing to you just because a Twitter propagandist grifter told you to.
Also, hacking is a crime.

It is possible. Remember 2017. Even Alabama, which voted 2 to 1 for Trump, rejected Roy S. Moore, accused of groping several women and girls. "At some point we got to stop looking like idiots to the nation," Charles Barkley said. Maybe MAGA will realize they've lashed themselves to a sinking stone.

According to a new analysis by Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee, the average American family has paid more than $700 in higher costs per month since Trump took office.

First they blamed the Dems for not funding SNAP
Then they went to court to ask permission NOT to pay
The shutdown is ending & they’re making everyone reapply and “prove” they’re legitimately starving.
It’s almost as though they spent the money and have zero intentions of ever funding it again.

Still waiting on the injury reports on the officers. I expect:
"Jones sprained his wrist as he threw a protester to the ground."
"Smith was hit by another officer's billy club and suffered a concussion."

Lololol Greg Bovino and ICE aren't done in Chicago like "mission accomplished". They're leaving and going to New Orleans and Charlotte because it doesn't snow there. They're literally flying south for the winter.

Is there a clear reason why ICE/CBP decided on Charlotte after Chicago? Is it revenge on NC for electing a democratic governor?

Epstein kept a close eye on Alex Acosta (the prosecutor who let Epstein off the hook) a month before the first Trump administration had Acosta show up for a confirmation hearing as the labor secretary nominee.
The hearing took place in March 2017.
