"Two of them are high-schoolers.

"One is a 10-year-old girl who was apprehended on her way to school..."

We already have to show a driver’s license or state issued ID. That should be enough.

SMITH: Yes

Q: And Trump claimed it was stolen while he privately acknowledged he lost?

SMITH: Yes

Q: Yet on the 5th anniversary of J6, Trump still promoted the stolen election theory on a govt webpage

Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."

BALINT: Do you believe that President Trump's DOJ will find some way to indict you?

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE

The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast

The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side

He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot

That’s murder

Remember the disabled woman who was dragged out of her car in Mpls while some officers told her to move and others told her to get out of the car (same conflicting orders they gave Renee Good right before shooting her in the head). Here is her story. @cnn.com youtu.be/icoNCo5Za_0?...
