The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Today’s vote isn’t the beginning of the end, it's just another maze with a fresh coat of paint. Believe evidence, not hype. We are dealing with a criminal regime who will do everything they can to protect their leader. We know it's the truth when they reveal trump's name. #EpsteinFiles

If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

As someone who has ordered (and undergone) a lot of MRIs, let me be clear:
1️⃣ MRIs are not routine. We order them when worried about something serious—(ie stroke) not “just to check.”
2️⃣ You always know what’s being scanned. The part of your body imaged is literally what goes into the machine.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.
