In 2020, Tommy Tuberville promised to donate “every dime” of his $174,000 Senate salary to Alabama veterans and their families. A June investigation found no evidence he followed through, a pledge now worth roughly $1 million.

Tuesday night, after a reporter asked about it, Tuberville told staff to remove him. Then he called the media “socialists” and “communists.”

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in Virginia after police showed up at a mother’s home at 2 A.M. and TOWED HER CAR over a SH00TING she had NOTHING to do with...

...because a FLOCK CAM pointed them to the WRONG CAR!!!

Now her car is a TOTAL LOSS and she MIGHT LOSE HER JOB!!!!

Yes, you read that right, a Flock camera got it wrong, the cops took her car ANYWAY, and she’s the one paying for it.

Her name is Rosalyn Crump, she’s a mom raising 3 boys in Richmond VA

On July 29th, just before 2 in the morning, Richmond police officers showed up outside her home on Sussex Street.

She was ASLEEP, but someone woke her up and told her police were outside and her car was being towed.

Police say the Flock system had linked her 2012 Hyundai Elantra to a sh00ting near Gilpin Court and body camera footage shows the officers shining flashlights through her windows.

At one point, one of them seemed to doubt they even had the right car.

They noticed her KIDS’ CAR SEATS were buckled in the back, but they towed it anyway.

Rosalyn came outside and told them flat out: “Y’all got the wrong car.”

She told them she’d been at her mom’s house all day, came home at 4, and waited for her kids to get off the bus at 5.

Nobody had driven her car.

An officer decided her story didn’t match the Flock data and said on camera that she was, “definitely not telling the truth.”

Minutes later, Seibert’s Towing hauled her car away.

If you think that was insane... well, IT GETS WORSE.

About FOUR DAYS later, she finally got a phone call.

Her car had been released FOUR HOURS after they took it... because police had already found the person they were actually looking for.

NOBODY FROM THE POLICE TOLD HER!!!!!

When she went to get her car back, she found it DAMAGED from the tow.

The towing company’s VP admitted fault in writing.

Then the claim went to insurance, and the company said it could no longer settle with her directly.

Her mechanic’s verdict:

TOTAL LOSS.

Richmond police now admit Flock cameras led them to the wrong vehicle.

Meanwhile, Rosalyn has lost wages, can’t get to work on time, and is paying for a RENTAL CAR out of her own pocket just to get her boys where they need to go.

She literally did nothing wrong and was home with her kids.

THIS IS INSANE!!!!!!!!

He drove his wife to one of the best hospitals in America for a planned caesarean. A routine one. Her second.

Charles Johnson watched her blood collect in a catheter bag for ten hours while he asked for help.

Kira Johnson died at 2:22am.

Cedars-Sinai, Los Angeles, 12th April 2016. Kira Johnson was 39. She spoke five languages, raced cars, ran marathons. The caesarean was scheduled. Everything about it was routine.

Her son Langston was delivered at midday.

By the afternoon her husband could see blood in her catheter. He told a nurse. He was told they would check.

He asked again. And again. A CT scan was ordered and then not performed. He has described being told, at one point, that his wife was simply not a priority right now.

He stood in a corridor for ten hours asking people to look at his wife.

They took her back to theatre just after midnight. There were three litres of blood in her abdomen. She died shortly after.

Her son Langston was twelve hours old.

Charles Johnson has spent the decade since as one of the most effective advocates in American maternal health. He founded 4Kira4Moms. He has testified before Congress. The federal Black maternal health legislation introduced in recent years carries work he pushed for.

He talks about one thing more than any other, and it is not the medicine.

It is the ten hours. He was standing right there, in the building, awake, articulate, asking. And it made no difference at all.

Political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security wanted CISA, an agency that protects election systems, to acquire and hack a voting machine, which shocked staffers.

“This goes against everything CISA represents,” a former official said.

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.

Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.

Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.

Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.

In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.

The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

If Democrats have a very good night in November, expect a rush of Republican laws in December to strip powers away from whichever office Dems have won. The playbook most aggressively used by NC's GOP recently, extended to Iowa, for starters, Texas.
