@glennkirschner.bsky.social wouldn’t it be interesting to coordinate some of these emails with statements made shortly afterwards by the president, because he does sometimes have a way of revealing things without being specific?

I doubt many of our military generals resented being called fat by a TV talk show host who drinks champagne out of a bottle, but I'm certain they resented being told that their enemy is more than half of the American people.

"Less than five years after urging rioters to "kill" police at the Capitol, a former Jan. 6 defendant is working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice, which has been dramatically remade under the second Trump administration."

I thought the Secret Police (SS-ICE) had this under control, esp. w/ funding to make it the world's 15th largest military force?

"...people from countries [with] high overstay rates ...could be required to post bonds of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000..."

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "We can't just take what Ghislaine Maxwell says on her word. She's a known liar. We must have the files and all the information so that anything she says can be then corroborated with what was in the files that the White House is now clearly trying to hide and cover up."

Ghislaine Maxwell moved to a low security facility with dormitory-style housing in Texas.

Moved from Florida to Texas after being 'interviewed' by Trump's personal (but now official DOJ) lawyer.

Methinks "The Game’s Afoot”.

The NYPD officer killed by the active shooter was an immigrant from Bangladesh. He had 2 kids and a 3rd on the way. The US State Dept travel advisory for Bangladesh is level 3; “Reconsider Travel” for violence, crime and terrorism. He died here, for us, shot with a Colt M4 rifle. Think about that.
