Russiagate was real btw. 34 people were charged, most of whom were Russian nationals who fled the country. 8 Americans on Trump’s campaign were convicted or pled guilty and sent to prison.

And then Trump pardoned them.

You just forgot because he did worse stuff

BREAKING: Maj. Jason Watson has just been charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for three violations of Article 88 for “contemptuous” remarks about Trump.

Yes, you heard that right. He was just charged for calling for Trump’s impeachment.

A president who has service members arrested for speaking out against the president, isn’t a president. They are a dictator.

RFK Jr.’s health department halted publication of two Covid vaccine studies involving 12 million Americans. Draft findings reviewed by outside experts reportedly showed serious side effects were rare and benefits outweighed risks.

Two measles deaths in Pennsylvania

What a tragedy

A completely avoidable tragedy

Measles vaccine is incredibly safe and highly effective at preventing measles

This is MAHA...sadly..

An 8-year-old Louisiana girl has died after being infected by Naegleria fowleri, a rare brain-eating amoeba.

This comes after the Trump administration laid off thousands of staff at the CDC, which operates one of the country's only labs that can test for Naegleria fowleri.

When a group of YMCA campers needed to be rescued during the wildfires on our northern border, it was Canada who immediately helped. Not a word from Trump.

NEWS: Trump's lawyers just told a federal court that if they don't get their way on renaming and "restoring" the Kennedy Center, they will tear it down and replace it with an outdoor amphitheater. He's holding the Kennedy Center hostage — and it's a preview of what happens to every public institution he can't put his name on.

Q: "What does justice look like in this case?"

Pretti's Sister: "I want their names released."

Pretti's Mother: " They need to be held accountable. Why do they get to just go about their everyday business?…They murdered our child."

ABDUL EL-SAYED: “It’s easier to make a second billion in this country than a first million. That’s a problem.”

“Tax billionaire wealth at 8%. They’ll still be billionaires. Their kids’ kids’ kids will still be rich. They’re going to be okay.”

The economy should reward work, not inherited wealth.

MORE ICE LIES EXPOSED.

Five-year-old Liam Tadeo should be in kindergarten. But motivated by race, ICE stopped him and his father Victor Martinez Nieto on their way to soccer, handcuffed Victor, and sent them to Dilley Detention Camp.

Victor asked ICE to leave his son with family, but ICE then gave Victor an impossible choice: accept deportation with Liam or surrender him to federal custody alone. That is not voluntary departure. It is family separation used as coercion.

https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY helps families know their rights, record safely, demand names and legal authority, and document the choices ICE denies them.

This was not public safety. It was government using the terror of losing a child to force a family from its home.

🚨THIS IS WHAT WASTING YOUR TAX DOLLARS LOOKS LIKE.

In Chicago, at least 7 unmarked ICE vehicles, and around a dozen ICE agents, surround a car with two women inside, demanding they prove their citizenship…

And then let them go when they proved they were U.S. citizens.

So, why were they stopped in the first place?

ICE cannot stop people, and demand they prove their citizenship, based on a hunch… or because an agent thinks someone “looks undocumented.”

The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, and immigration agents still need lawful grounds to detain someone.

So, when neighbors saw 7 ICE vehicles surrounding ONE car, they started filming.

One man, standing at his front door, yells, “You all got nothing better to do.”

An ICE agent responds, “I can’t hear you… come down here and talk to me.”

Why?

He has the same right to criticize federal agents from a public sidewalk as he does from his front door.

Then he points out how absurd this situation is…

“20 cars for 2 females. You all better wear masks. That’s why you wear fucking masks… so your face doesn’t show.”

He’s calling them out for hiding their identities… saying, you’re covering your faces so you can’t be identified or held accountable for what you’re doing.

Because remember… these are dozens of armed, masked agents surrounding ONE car, with TWO WOMEN inside… who are U.S. citizens.

Instead of ignoring the criticism, the ICE agent walks over and says, “That’s not a threat, is it?”

So now saying federal agents should be identifiable, and held accountable, is a threat?

The man responds, “Did I threaten you, asshole?”

You don’t lose your constitutional rights because an ICE agent doesn’t like being recorded.

And criticizing the government isn’t a threat… it’s a constitutional right.

And when dozens of masked, armed agents surround two women, question their citizenship, and force them to prove they were U.S. citizens... everyone should be questioning and criticizing the government.

So I’ll ask again…

Why were these women stopped in the first place?

Because the people with cameras aren’t the problem…

The masked, armed agents violating the Constitution are.

Just thinking about how Clarence Thomas wrote a health insurance decision that's allowed insurers to just completely fuck patients, so perhaps they die, while he was in the process of getting a free or nearly free $267,000 RV from a health insurance exec https://t.co/2mwiFtUnvL

Alex Pretti's family on how they found out about his death.

"It was all over the news. We watched it. I was like that's our son. That's Alex and they killed him. No one called us. Watching our son shot 10 times trying to help someone. And being beaten, sprayed with tear gas.

My shock is that he was murdered and no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable and it's been seven months. There was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice."
