In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Our Department of Education, which is helmed by a woman connected to a scandal involving child abuse, who was appointed by a man connected to a scandal involving child abuse, is now refusing to recognize the professions of our country’s mandated reporters of… child abuse.

Your neighbor breaks into your house, occupies 4 rooms, shoots at your family for 3 years. Trump's "peace deal": neighbor keeps all 4 rooms PLUS gets a 5th room they never reached. You can only own 1 gun and can't join neighborhood watch. Neighbor promises not to rob anyone else. #TrumpUkraineDeal

The only reason to be upset that service men & women may be aware of this information is if you are issuing, or intend to issue, illegal orders.

Man, if we can come out of this scandal with both Larry Summers and Jaime Dimon getting ostracized from polite society, that would be amazing.
Top JPMC execs were in constant contact with Epstein and were aware of his shady financials. Top staff at JPMC, reporting directly to CEO Jamie Dimon, closely supervised Epstein’s accounts. One even coached Epstein on how to sanitize his suspiciously large cash withdrawals.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
