The constitution provides that states run elections. The federal govt does not. There is no legal authority for Mullin to take over elections, issue mandates & rules, or threaten elections officials with prison for failure to comply with unlawful orders. https://t.co/DYLOt47jAS
Things conservatives told me when I was in my 20’s:
*Character counts
*Crony capitalism is bad
*Russia is our enemy
*Tariffs are taxes
*The Constitution is sacrosanct
*Government power should be limited, restrained, and checked by congress.
Guess they were just joking.
Luttig: As a candidate for attorney general of the United States of America, Blanche is an embarrassment to America itself. If the Republican Senate confirms this man, based on his record, to be the next attorney general, it will mark the end of the rule of law in America.
russia is on fire 🔥🔥🔥
The orcs decided to hide a huge amount of drones in one single warehouse, and now that warehouse is cooking off thanks to a Ukrainian drone 🥳🥳🥳

How pathetic is Sen. Thom Tillis?
Tillis: Because of my deep respect for the survivors, I won’t vote for Blanche unless he meets with them.
The survivors: Well, we had a meeting and Blanche was totally unhelpful, dismissive, and disrespectful,
Tillis: I’m good.
My name is Lucinda, This is my response to your questions regarding my experience or knowledge of my ex husband, David Brouillette.
Before anything else, I want to express my deepest condolences to the victims, their loved ones, and every person whose life has been forever changed by this tragedy. My heart is with all of those who are grieving.
For several days, I have watched these events unfold alongside the rest of the country. I have intentionally been careful not to speculate about the incident itself. I was not there, I do not know exactly what happened, and I believe the facts should be determined by investigators and the justice system—not by public opinion.
What I can speak to is my own experience.
If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes. That belief is not based on speculation, but on my own lived experiences over many years. Throughout our marriage and in the years that followed, I have feared for a long time that his anger, aggression, and escalating behavior would eventually result in severe, life threatening violence, and I often believed I would be the one on the receiving end of it.
I was married to David Brouillette throughout his entire military career. During those years, and for many years after our marriage ended, I experienced a persistent pattern of abuse, intimidation, manipulation, fear, and control. On multiple occasions David’s physical abuse was witnessed by friends and family. The emotional, psychological, and physical scars of those experiences have remained with me long after the marriage ended.
One of the most difficult aspects of that relationship was the fear of retaliation. Throughout our marriage and long afterward, I believed that whenever I spoke up, challenged him, or sought help, there would be consequences. That fear influenced countless decisions I made, including when and how I reported what I was experiencing. Even now, I fear speaking the truth of my experiences will lead to retaliation.
David often spoke to me about his military intelligence background and the specialized skills he believed it gave him. He frequently portrayed himself as someone who could manipulate people, deceive others, and stay in control of difficult situations. Whether those statements reflected reality or were intended to intimidate me, they contributed to an environment of fear that made it even harder for me to believe I could safely stand up to him.
Throughout the years, I brought my concerns to law enforcement, the courts, and the Department of Health and Human Services. I tried to explain what I believed was a long-standing pattern of abuse, intimidation, manipulation, and controlling behavior because I genuinely feared where those behaviors could lead. From my perspective, those warnings did not receive the attention I believed they deserved. Feeling unheard while continuing to fear retaliation was one of the most isolating experiences of my life.
The concerns I describe here are not new. They were raised over many years through family court proceedings, reports to law enforcement, and communications with the Department of Health and Human Services. Those proceedings span years and are matters of public record. My purpose in making this statement is not to relitigate those proceedings, but to explain my own experience and why I carried these concerns for so long.
For many years, I questioned whether anyone would believe what I had experienced. Seeing others with firsthand knowledge now come forward publicly has been deeply validating. While I cannot speak for anyone else’s experiences, hearing similar accounts has reinforced that I was not alone in what I experienced.
This statement is not about speculating on the events currently under investigation or influencing the outcome of any criminal case. It is about sharing my own lived experience and explaining why I carried these concerns for so many years.
If there is one thing I hope comes from sharing my experience, it is that patterns of abuse, coercive control, intimidation, and manipulation are recognized and taken seriously before they escalate. I know firsthand how difficult it is to speak up when you fear retaliation or believe no one will listen. If my experience encourages even one person to seek help, or encourages one person, one agency, or one court to take those warning signs more seriously, then sharing my story has served a purpose.
I also ask that people remember something very important. David Brouillette is the individual involved in the criminal case that is currently under investigation. I am not. Our children are not. My family is not. We did not choose this situation, and we should not be judged, threatened, harassed, or defined by someone else’s alleged actions.
My children deserve the opportunity to grow up without carrying the weight of circumstances they did not create. My family deserves privacy, compassion, and the chance to move forward without fear.
My thoughts remain with the victims, their loved ones, and every family whose lives have been forever changed by these events. I hope the investigation uncovers the truth, justice is served through the legal process, and healing can begin for everyone affected.
This is why we record and post every single ICE interaction. David Brouillette was seen in this video threatening to shoot some one. Months later he killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Main
🚨This video is terrifying.
And it’s another example of how ICE is making everyone less safe.
At Las Vegas International Airport, two people, in plain clothes, are seen trying to handcuff a man.
The man is screaming for help.
When the person filming asks a TSA agent what is happening, the agent replies, “It’s law enforcement.”
But when the person filming walks over and starts recording the people claiming to be law enforcement, one of them tries to swat the phone away.
Then, as more people begin watching, they get up and leave.
The man is left with a handcuff still attached to one of his wrists. He is visibly shaken and says they stole his belongings.
Think about how dangerous this is.
The government is normalizing armed agents, in plain clothes, grabbing people in public, without immediately identifying themselves in a way bystanders can verify. That creates confusion, panic, and makes it impossible for ordinary people to know whether they’re witnessing a lawful arrest, or a kidnapping.
In this case, people intervened… They started asking questions, and filming.
If no one had stepped in, who knows what would have happened to that man.
A government that expects people to simply accept unidentified agents, taking someone away without question, is making every person in this country less safe.
ICE smashed the window of a disabled Iraq War veteran, on his way to work, pepper-sprayed him, dragged him out at gunpoint, and locked him up for three days without charges.
This is fascism.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms that George Retes is a citizen, a disabled U.S. Army veteran who served his country in Iraq.
Federal agents smashed his truck window, sprayed him with chemical agents, detained him for three days, denied him contact with his family, and released him without charges. He missed his daughter’s third birthday while sitting in a cell.
No person on American soil should fear being treated this way, least of all a citizen and veteran at the hands of his own government. A nation that can do this to a U.S. citizen and veteran can do it to anyone.

I feel like some White House reporter needs to ask Trump about the fact that his DOJ has lost 16 straight cases to access state voter rolls and that in 7 of the cases it was before judges he nominated.
Oh and point out that I am still not tired of winning.
Senate Republicans, this is the crap you pretend will not happen when Trump nominees sit in front of you and lie. And you know they are lying. The DHS secretary has NO role to play in our elections. You know that too.
“Mandatory” my ass!
Putin
Last night Donald Trump released a declassified document that says his own intelligence community identified Putin as personally running an operation to defeat my father in 2020, built around a fake Burisma corruption scandal centered around me and executed through prominent Americans.
Trump tasked his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to fly to Kyiv and meet a known Russian agent.
The Americans who ran, laundered, and legitimized the operation:
Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. John Solomon. Joe DiGenova. Victoria Toensing. Lev Parnas. Igor Fruman. Chanel Rion. Sean Hannity. Steve Bannon. Miranda Devine. Ken Vogel. Ron Johnson. Chuck Grassley. James Comer. Jim Jordan.
To name a few.
An operation formally sanctioned by Trump's own Treasury Department on September 10, 2020, and expanded to include more named actors on January 11, 2021.
Oh, and don't forget the Russian-linked FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who later pleaded guilty to making the entire Burisma bribery story up.
The record exists and we have all the receipts, and more.
Burnsville was left without clean drinking water for weeks after the devastation of Hurricane Helene. Thanks to investments from @NCDEQ, the town is on track to providing its residents with clean, safe, and dependable drinking water for the long-term.
Western NC hasn’t taken a day off from recovery, and we have to match their urgency. Since Hurricane Helene, we have invested more than $1 billion in water infrastructure and resilience projects to help our mountain communities recover and prepare for future disasters.
For those claiming the Blue Angels incident yesterday was perfectly fine, here is their lead pilot, Captain Adam Bryan, saying it was unsafe and that they will work to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Listen to this guy, not Hegseth or
his PR guy.
I'm glad the people who matter are taking it seriously.
It’s easy to feel a sense of despair and hopelessness about our nation these days. But look at these judges marching carrying roses, standing up for the rule of law. It’s hard not to feel inspired and hopeful. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Apparently, Donald Trump is suggesting that the next FIFA World Cup that he be the host again but leave out Mexico and Canada and have the USA and China share it.
WAIT! Is this the same China that he claims rigged the 2020 election against him?
⚡️2 Russian logistics centers, oil depot hit as Kyiv launches hundreds of drones towards Moscow.
