ICE is so petty. Only for following behind some ICE vans, and for no other crime, ICE revoked her Global Entry membership, which let her bypass TSA secondary screening. It's all the leverage they could find. They probably checked her IRS status, too, and found it boring. 1/2
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

The fact that russia hasn’t attacked our energy facilities for a day doesn’t mean we have electricity or normal heating.
Kyiv.
No power, almost no heat at home.
It’s already -10 °C outside and getting colder.
russia has damaged our energy system so badly that one quiet day won’t fix anything.

This is SO OBVIOUSLY demented that even GOPers with their sleep masks on can see it. The cabinet has to 25th him out of there now.
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

Women and children jumping out of a burning train is russia’s new ‘achievement.’ As well as another 5 victims of their deliberate terror.
russia is not a state that can be reasoned with.
It is a state that must be stopped from committing war crimes.

Remember, please, that ALL US elections are 100% managed and run at the county or precinct level. There is NO federal role in the running or supervision of elections. None, zero, zip, nada, doodley-squat.
Therefore this FBI raid was thoroughly unconstitutional, invalid, and illegal.

The word "Tank" used for these heavily armoured, tracked combat vehicles with artillery-sized cannons was deliberately used by the British to fool the German Intelligence, by letting them think that the British worked on some advanced water Cisterns
