This is what a police state looks like—with masked secret police serving a political agenda not legitimate law enforcement needs.
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.
Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?
Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

I live in Nick LaLota’s district. He claims that he’s a moderate, but his vote today proves otherwise. His flip-flop to a YES on the rescissions package claws back already appropriated funds for starving and sick children around the world.
LaLota is another hypocritical, heartless Trump sycophant.

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..
