BREAKING: While DHS claims a woman in a Minneapolis suburb "weaponized her car" during an ICE raid, you can see in this video (posted by the Minnesota Reformer) there was no real threat when the officer shot the woman in the face and immediately killed her.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

The DOJ Epstein files roll out has been a disaster thus far, and exemplifies what many survivors have been saying for years. There is one piece of news that not enough people are talking about, however, and that’s how these files vindicated Maria Farmer. She told the truth in 1996.

“Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told the FBI in 2023 that Epstein was murdered in his jail cell because he was about to ‘name names.’ Mark Epstein, 71, who has long believed that his brother was killed, also alleged in the tip that President Trump ‘authorized’ the late sex trafficker’s murder.”
Latest Epstein files name Trump multiple times
In the more than 10,000 files released Tuesday, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, said the sex trafficker was killed because he was going to name co-conspirators.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

The Democrats in the Senate who handed the GOP a lifeline with the shutdown cave in stopped a massive Trump cave in that would have happened sooner rather than later. With the busiest flying season approaching, Trump desperately needed a deal. Sadly Democrats gave it to him.
