AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

This authoritarian regime will feel the full weight of the law one day. Federal marshals should be taken out of DOJ chain of command & placed under the courts. Then, federal judge rulings will carry the weight of enforcement. Bondi, Noem & Bovino would have ALL been locked up by now.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

THE COMING CHRISTMAS WAR: I have seen this game before. In 1985 we exercised Freedom on Navigation & challenged Qaddafi’s power in the Gulf of Sidra called OPERATION ATTAIN DOCUMENT I-IV. That had legitimacy bc of Libya terror attacks. It led to PRAIRIE FIRE. A decapitation strike to kill Qaddafi.

But I come here to say: Dear Liberals, please STOP ASKING former Republican clerks to argue our side of the case. I know you think they "speak Republican." But they also SUCK.

Where are Somalis in the Epstein Files? Oh wait there aren't.
It was rich men, overwhelmingly white men, who raped girls with Epstein. Allegedly Daddy Trump was Epstein's closest friend for 10 years.
So where are the Epstein Files?
Hit MAGA back and don't let them demonize Somalis. Enough.
