They fired 10 shots into a man AFTER taking his gun from him.
That is a fact, confirmed by multiple videos and expert analysis.
They cannot change that fact. There is no “appears to”--it’s all certain.
This must be the turning point. Shut down ICE.

I worked the tents at peak pandemic. It was the scariest thing I ever did, and I’m a former firefighter. I saw a lot of people die horribly.
How many people have I seen die from an mRNA vax? Zero. How about die from covid after being vaxxed? Also zero.
Listen to Prof. Hotez, not grifters.

Attacks on Jack Smith are transparent efforts to undermine his testimony. His investigation followed all legal and policy requirements and amassed evidence of Donald Trump’s guilt. Grateful for his courage.

As of today, the United States has officially left the World Health Organization. We’ll look back on this as a grave error. Health threats do not respect borders, and weakening global cooperation makes Americans less safe.

Over several decades, the WHO has played a huge role in bringing countries together to reduce death and disease at an unprecedented scale.
It is by no means a perfect organization, but we can only improve it by continuing to participate. Withdrawal is reckless and makes us all more vulnerable.

Trump seems to have forgotten, or never knew, that our NATO allies WERE there for us when we were attacked on September 11, 2001. His continued denial of this fact, including in his speech today, is embarrassing to me and insulting to our allies.
