Just give the evidence on that man, J.P. Morgan Chase.
In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

P.S. And yes, this is creepy stalking behavior.
Instead of Bernie Moreno creepily following us to the cars we use to get to work in the Capitol and writing down their VIN numbers, I'd suggest he use his time in more productive ways …

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

@boxerdogmom.bsky.social Know about tree hugging? There is a friend of mine in Highland Park, a Ginkgo, that knows me by name from all the hugs we shared. I only get the "feels" so I don't know my name in tree.

Here is a bit of inspiration for today. Harriett Tubman was an unconventional warfare commander! www.wearethemighty.com/history/harr...
Harriet Tubman was America’s first unconventional warfare commander
The way Harriet Tubman planned her movements, gathered intel, and built networks was full-spectrum unconventional warfare.

Great talking points for the coming week. What do you call a historian who also lays out everything important, in detail, for what is happening in the moment?
