Listen to this entire mind-blowing clip of Raskin’s take down of Patel: “While most other new FBI directors drew on their experience as agents, you didn't have that.

This is very accurate

A judge ruled that Trump can't act as national police chief, declaring that the president broke the law when he deployed troops to Los Angeles.

Trump amplified a tweet with a conspiracy, end-times Antichrist vibe.

1/ As a side note, I’m reading John Wimber’s Vineyard Reflections (1993-97).
