James Comer spent every day for 2 years and millions of US taxpayer dollars trying to link Joe Biden to Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014, but has zero interest in UAE putting $500 million into Trump’s crypto company then getting advanced AI chips from the US.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?
ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.
I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.
Get them out of there.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

The original cache of DataSet 8 (with the incorrectly redacted files) has been added to @ddosecrets.com
So for some of the Epstein docs they highlighted in black and then forgot to “print to pdf” which would have effectively flattened the formatting and stopped text being recoverable, but here we are.

They don’t want their atrocities documented.
They don’t want a historical record.
They don’t want the world to know.
That’s why we have to keep filming. Keep speaking out.

Folks, I assure you the GOP has more than redistricting up their sleeves to control the 2026 election, if they even allow us to have one.
It’s time for Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker to launch investigations into the 2024 election, and get us forensic data on what really happened.
