If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

Just finished watching this. It was heartbreaking and cathartic at the same time. I am often shocked by where we are now, but it gives me courage knowing that people like Adam Kinzinger are fighting for the truth. @adamkinzinger.substack.com, thank you for your service to this country.
BIG NEWS: When Adam Kinzinger stood up to Trump and risked everything, director Steve Pink captured it all. Meidas Studios just released our latest documentary ‘The Last Republican’ on all major platforms. Watch the movie today!

You showed Putin that what he does WORKS. He will continue.
You could’ve solved this within weeks by giving Ukraine what it needs to push Russia to withdraw. Instead, you chose betting on Putin’s most useful agent.

I had the privilege of serving in combat with outstanding female soldiers. When I chose my team for missions, I wanted only the best and that naturally meant having women on my teams. To disrespect the contributions and sacrifices of so many puts a stain on our military that is unforgivable.

That this is in no way based in reality is irrelevant. But the only thing that was breaking through that narrative a bit was the Epstein files so now would be a good time to pick that thread back up
