Its conduct surrounding the assassination of the veterans' healthcare worker Alex Pretti is remarkable in many respects, most notably the refusal to conduct normal criminal investigations and the rigorous maintenance of secrecy surrounding the officers involved. All these acts serve to

🚨BREAKING: Two top Democrats in Fulton County, Georgia allege that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) lacked the authority for Wednesday’s raid of the county’s central election hub, in which the Feds seized 700 boxes of ballots and other election materials related to the 2020 vote.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

The good news is all the brazen, cartoonish corruption makes it easier to run on an anti-oligarchy, good government platform. The bad news is you still need candidates who want to do that

The phrase "Gotcha Doomerism" has been coined by @kibblesmith.com and it's perfect for describing people who otherwise share my politics.

They believe they've already gamed out every possible reason something won't work politically. And it's almost always because they're stuck in 1990s centrism.

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

They haven't stopped or slowed down kidnapping people in Los Angeles either.
yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.
I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rightly says the new video of Alex Pretti’s encounter with ICE and Border Patrol agents a week before he was shot does not justify his killing a week later.

This video also includes a statement from the Pretti family.

MAGA are people that learn "history" from the History Channel. The extent of their knowledge is that some extremely advanced alien race developed space traveling tech to come to Earth just to confuse people with shitty cameras and abduct some cows. Who needs advanced educations when you have cable?
