Hakeem Jeffries is so skilled at being a disappointment. The worst opposition leader possible. I am so sick of rank careerism and incompetence.

Missouri adopted a law that ends St. Louis’ ability to run its own police, transferring control to the GOP-run state government. The law also requires St. Louis to commit 25% of its budget to policing. boltsmag.org/missour...
Missouri Officials Seize Control of St. Louis Police, in Latest Bid to Shutter Local Reforms
The takeover returns St. Louis to a Civil War-era arrangement of state control. A local official calls the move "a clear gesture of white men wanting to control urban areas."

Oh good. He’s looked at all the intelligence.
Q: The DNI concluded in March that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon. What new intel does the US have that Iran changed its position?
HEGSETH: The president has made it very clear that he's looked at all the intelligence and come to the conclusion that the Iranian nuclear program is a threat

We are sooo past the “can you believe he said or did xxxx?” That’s gotta be met with, “and, what are you and me gonna do about that?”
We have to stop talking about him as if he is he is a man who has the ability to understand diplomacy or military tactics….or anything else for that matter. He is a pathological narcissist with limited cognitive functioning. No one should discuss him with any other lens.
Or maybe he’s psychologically incapable of acting and speaking on anything but pure impulse.

Police advice is to call the police to see if police are really at your door. Must apply to ICE etc as well. No more masks. Clear name badges and IDs. Warrants.
And the feds must stop arresting and roughing up elected officials for asking questions. This can inspire violence. Games must stop now.
