Every bus stop personally shoveled out is an act of heroism and a policy failure.
How many bus stops have you shoveled out today?

Terrorism is the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to induce fear, intending to coerce governments or societies to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It often targets civilians and critical infrastructure to disrupt safety and advance specific agendas.

Yesterday, Todd Blanche said that people weren't going to find in the Epstein files what we always suspected.
And while I'm mostly watching what others find in the Epstein files second hand, I keep thinking, are you fucking HIGH? Everything I'm seeing is precisely what we expected.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.
She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

We are now in a full-blown constitutional crisis.
That’s why following the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, I sent three separate letters demanding the dismissal of all charges, a congressional hearing, and a DOJ Inspector General investigation.
