Today I joined patriots at the Kennedy Center to make clear that Trump’s desecration of the Center will not stand. It’s not a matter of whether, but of when, his name will come down. We will not allow him to despoil what belongs to the American people.

Trump wants DC's crime numbers to be high so he can seize power here and look legitimate while he does it.
If DC's numbers aren't what he wants, he's willing to go back and erase them.
We condemn this attempt to distort DC's objective police data. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

DOJ report on D.C. police says chief created ‘culture of fear’
The draft report says the main reason “for the misclassifications is a culture of coercive fear that emanates from Pamela A. Smith” and some of her staff.

I was the Banksy version of the sandwich guy for Halloween, so I now feel especially connected to this folk hero and appreciative of his lawyer's puns. Also, this entire thread is hilarious. #FreeDC
Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

Very few people are on BlueSky to see Stephen Miller, who runs the DC Task Force, admitting that this regime thinks they have total power. If you want a say in your future, or a say in anything at all, start pulling the rug out from under this regime today if you haven't already. #FreeDC
Seriously, watch this. Descriptions won’t do it justice. There’s no technical difficulty.
The amazing pause here from Miller is him realizing he said the quiet part out loud (probably a few months early) and then freezing like a possum in the face of a coyote or something as a defensive measure.

Not Stephen Miller accidentally outting the regime in an interview. Let that "plenary authority" claim slip right out and then had to act like the audio cut out.
Sir! We heard you.. and the President does NOT have plenary authority.
