“I keep thinking about Anne Frank, who was kept alive with her family by a good friend named Miep,” said the Rev. Jane Mauldin, a Unitarian minister who was one of the volunteers who raced to the North Kenner raid on the roofers … “I keep in my head saying, ‘What would Miep do?’”

Oh Julie. That would require guts. Courage. Tenacity. Qualities that congressional reporters do not possess.
It’s interesting that former female sports reporters like us, who had to kick, scratch & claw for every interview we earned, have more balls than all these alleged “journalists” combined.

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

This is constantly happening. A paramilitary force is violently enforcing second-class status for nonwhite people the United States with the support of police forces across the country. Sure, ICE must be abolished, but so must every institution that supports such brutality. & this cannot be reformed
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."
