These people are also fascists.
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

If we don't test for COVID, then there's no COVID! If there's no flights, then there's no late flights! Brilliant!
If you just cancel flights, then they're actually not late! Brilliant stuff from Sean Duffy here

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

Always keep your cameras rolling. Federal officials are scheduled to appear in court today, where they’ll face questions over whether the government breached a prior order by deploying tear gas during immigration enforcement operations in the Chicago area.
