The thing is, until you have personally experienced this kind of targeted operation it sounds like tinfoil hat or the ravings of someone who has lost their grip on reality.

And once it happens, almost no one will believe you if you so choose to confide. You end up alone, frozen

If you harmed people, we will hold you accountable—no matter who you are.

Ranking Member @robertgarcia.house.gov and Oversight Dems are standing up for Epstein’s survivors and fighting for the justice they deserve.

In California, 660,000 could be priced out of health care coverage if the ACA premiums aren’t extended.

That means parents in Oceanside, small business owners in Carlsbad, seniors in Solana Beach, and families in Encinitas will lose their health care.

The Rees Moggs will still do History degrees. The Johnsons will still do Classics.
Sadly, the Wilsons from South Bank in Middlesbrough won't get the intellectual stimulation of studying a subject of interest for a degree.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
Here’s video of the incident

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

ICE’s raids echo Gestapo tactics—fear at dawn, families torn apart, rights ignored. America should never mirror the terror it once vowed to defeat. Compassion, not cruelty, defines true security.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Dr. Bill Cassidy, chair of the Senate Oversight Committee, was key to confirming RFK Jr. as Health Sec. Six former Surgeons General now warn against Kennedy’s actions. Despite that and his lying under oath about his vaccine policy plans, Cassidy is silent.

We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
