⏰ This is alarming. Donald Trump has escalated attacks on U.S. Senator Mark Kelly—moving from threats of punishment to now dragging in the FBI for the wrong reasons: retaliation for speech the president doesn’t like. This isn’t about accountability. It’s about intimidation.

AOC: “President Trump ran on a promise to the American people that ICE would go after the worst of the worst — What we have seen is that ICE is not overwhelmingly going after criminals — In fact, over 70% of people currently detained in detention facilities do not have a criminal record”

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

It’s ironic that the same people who applauded DOJ for indicting Jim Comey & Tish James are complaining there was a lack of evidence to search Mar-a-Lago.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels. Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on. And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking. Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy. It's a power grab.

Jack Smith, in compliance with a subpoena, is testifying before Congress today, but behind closed doors, at the insistence of Jim Jordan and his fellow “weaponization” propagandists. What are they afraid of?

Opinion | I'm Trump's former lawyer. Jack Smith should be celebrated, not vilified.
John Dowd: Jack Smith was once my adversary in a high-profile investigation of a Republican client. Smith was fair, impartial and fearlessly committed to the facts and the law.

Please read every word of this article, and please pass it on. We need to understand the day to day reality of what’s happening, and know how to help. It is no exaggeration to say that the United States is under occupation, and we are in the beginning stages of another Underground Railroad.

Look. We may be headed into a recession and be being governed by a malignant narcissist and be watching legal residents kidnapped and sold to a gulag and be at the mercy of a bought-and-paid-for SCOTUS and be alienated from all our allies, but at least kids are dying of measles again.
