They just make up atrocious shit and throw it at the refrigerator to see if it sticks. Either way works for them
FYI: DHS has issued hundreds of administrative subpoenas to social media companies to identify users who criticize the Trump administration, ICE, & government agencies.
Subpoenas have been sent to Google, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Reddit, Discord, others.
Can you say Authoritarianism?

It needs to be said clearly that it would be absolutely insane for the United States to start a war of aggression against Iran. If anyone thinks that Trump gives a rip about democracy or human rights you are kidding yourself. It’ll be another campaign of domination and plunder.

Rep. Ro Khanna Just Said :UN human rights experts just concluded the Epstein files may have "crimes against humanity." The DOJ continues a cover-up. Here's what needs to happen now:
For what?
1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.
