Deb North and South! Home in Georgia, apartment in New Jersey. Artsy and political. So tired of stupid mean people and their ugly hearts.
Absurd
Barrasso won't commit to holding a Senate vote on an Epstein files measure and says, "this is not about truth, this is about an attempt by the Democrats to make President Trump a lame duck president and I'm not gonna aid and abet them in their effort to do that."

Why did Steve Bannon specifically request Kellyanne Conway to manage Trump ‘16 campaign?

And to be clear, the six reported injuries were nosebleeds, which is what happens when you have barotrauma.

I’ve been asking since June, if a passenger is handcuffed and the handcuffs are attached to a chain around their waists, can they even reach up to grab their masks? Seems like no.
😲 CONFIRMED: “an Avelo ICE flight declared an emergency when the cabin lost pressure, according to air traffic control transmissions. The plane made a rapid descent and landed safely. Of 88 people on board, six were injured…”

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

ICE has arrested about 600 immigrants in the city of Chicago. You know how many of them have criminal records? Sixteen.

They promised to secure the border and remove anybody who was violent — and they lied.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

He doesn't seem to have had the temperment for the job if the job was really about public safety and not public terror
Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Stop his brazen, shameless merchandising of the Presidency! It’s sickening!
New: A site licensing Trump's name is selling merch with the presidential seal — including a $20 beer-pong set with “Presidential themed balls.”

Federal law says you can’t manufacture or sell likenesses of the seal without authorization.

Trump-Licensed Presidential Seal Beer Pong Set Could Violate Federal Law
A site affiliated with Lee Greenwood sells merchandise with the seal—such as a $20 beer pong set with “Presidential themed balls”—and pays licensing fees to a Trump LLC.

“I’m a Grok guy” is the single most embarrassing phrase ever uttered in the course of human history.

Watching JD without sound is very illuminating.
JD Vance: "We inherited a disaster. We chipped away at a lot of that problem in 10 months, but that's why you've got 4 year terms. Because we're going to do a lot over the next 3 years."

Maybe it's time to make more noise about this? Last spring a thousand agents frantically redacted all mentions of Trump's name in the Epstein files. How does that square with what can and will be released?
FBI agents were told to 'flag' any Epstein records that mentioned Trump, Sen. Durbin says
President Donald Trump, bowing to days of pressure, asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to get grand jury testimony about Jeffrey Epstein unsealed.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
