Every election Trump loses going forward we have to assume he will try to steal. Voter ID demands, seizing ballots in GA are pretexts he's building up. We have to stop him before he tries this time, not be shocked when he sends ICE to seize voting machines. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Last night, I got properly "doored" for the first time. A car in the road to my right paused, and the rear left passenger threw open his door without looking, right into my path. I ended up on the floor, badly winded but ok. If you don't know what the "Dutch reach" is, NOW is the time to learn.

This is a wild departure from past practices. All the talk of the “Worst of the Worst” is a lie. Usually between 50-75 percent of ICE deportees have criminal records. We’ve turned ICE from a crime-fighting org into a racial profiling and ethnic cleansing operation.

ICE investigators were supposed to investigate the killing of Alex Pretti. Instead, they investigated Alex. Not his killers. With FBI now leading this probe, I’m calling on Kristi Noem and Kash Patel: Remove all ICE agents from this investigation completely.

US intelligence -- of which this wingnut is the titular head -- has no damn business meddling with voting. This madness flows from lunatic conspiracy theories. What Gabbard's doing here (and in Georgia) is an attack on our democracy and our freedom. It has to stop. www.reuters.com/world/americ...
