The Keystone pipeline system, which carries crude oil from Canada to the U.S., was shut down on Tuesday morning because of an oil spill in southeastern North Dakota, government and company officials said. The spill was confined to a field, and a nearby stream was isolated as a precaution.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?"

This is our moment. This is our time.

We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

After 9/11… Article 5 was invoked for the first time in history. Many nations came to the defense of U.S. including Canada, Australia, Germany & UK. Subsequently…Many nations fought & died side by side with Americans in Afghanistan & Iraq.

None of these Nations have demanded a refund or Thank you

Agree. It's flabbergasting. But Schumer and Jeffries are not the people for the this moment.
📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender.

📌They should STILL be talking now.
