It’s genuinely bizarre that people who refuse to show their face or identify themselves are demanding identification from people who are fully visible.

Fact: In the early years, Pan Am never made money under founder Juan Trippe. It was only after he employed his brother, Return Trippe, that the airline became highly profitable.

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

The statute of limitations for violations of federal law is 5 years.

Your photographs, videos, and livestreams can be used as evidence in future cases.

So while this Administration may not hold anyone accountable, a future Administration will.

Funny how the GOP is all caught up in rules for anyone not in their party to follow, but they don’t follow rules. A glaring example:

The NY Times concludes that the ICE agent who shot Renee Good was NOT hit by her car

“the visual evidence shows no indication that..Jonathan Ross, had been run over..It also establishes-millisecond by millisecond-how Mr. Ross put himself in a dangerous position near her vehicle in the first place”

Tuberville blamed “antifa” and intelligence agents in the crowd. Reality: Hundreds of people supporting Donald Trump rioted at the Capitol, and more than 100 police officers suffered injuries. Many were convicted of violent crimes before they were all pardoned by Trump.

TUBERVILLE blocks resolution condemning the 1/6/2021 attack.
He claims w/o evidence that 1/6 was actually a "coup" by Democrats, Nancy Pelosi and the Deep State against Trump, claiming tampering with election results & said they infiltrated the crowd to stir up trouble. "This has all been proven."

Trump posts these 5 Republicans should never be elected again. AWK because he can't pass anything or confirm any nominees without them!
5 Republicans defied Trump on Venezuela, with some citing his talk of running the country indefinitely:
Todd Young (Served as a Marine)
Josh Hawley
Susan Collins
Lisa Murkowski
Rand Paul

Local assisted living facilities are taking additional security measures because the residents don’t want their care to be interrupted when ICE abducts their staff. Schools are closed for the safety of students, faculty, and staff. There is no facet of society or stage of life unaffected.
Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

ICE shot a man in Glen Burnie and the story they told was contradicted by:

1. ICE’s own photos
2. Bystander video
3. Lawyer for another immigrant at the scene
4. Anne Arundel County Police

Now ICE is revising its story.

In a 2-1 decision, judges rejected that claim. Supporters and opponents of Prop. 50 now anticipate the case heading to the U.S. Supreme Court. Earlier, the Supreme Court upheld Texas' redrawn maps.

“The United States fails to show that the (California) voters acted with discriminatory intent."
