James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

So...... this seems real bad. The FBI executed a sealed search warrant today on a key Atlanta area election office - and wouldn't say what that warrant was for. "A source told FOX the FBI was there to take custody of Fulton County election ballots from 2020." www.fox5atlanta.com/news/fbi-exe...

By now, almost everyone has watched the videos of Renee Nicole Good’s murder. It has created two camps: Those who believe in justice see the vehicle turn away from Jonathan Ross, the ICE Killer. Those who believe in fascism pretend the vehicle turned into Jonathan Ross, the ICE Killer.

My guess is - just as Kristi Noem did yesterday, Vance is deliberately conflating a previous incident involving Jonathan Ross that occurred last year in Bloomington, MN where he required stitches after being dragged by a suspect when he attempted to open the suspect's rear car door.

The only reason we know ICE agent Jonathan Ross is the person who murdered Renee Nicole Walker is because Kristi Noem alluded to a previous incident and reporters started digging.

And then led a raid of Uber drivers at the airport. It REALLY is time to ask what instructions Stephen Miller gave Greg Bovino, bc the RESULTS suggest Miller wants an excuse to invade with troops (and there are right wing propagandists on Xitter who are laying the groundwork).

This is the issue of our time. How we respond to Trump’s secret police will define our future for generations. Our community is stronger than any masked henchmen. ICE: Get the fuck out of Illinois.
Screenshot of headline from Daily Northwestern: 
'Get the f-k out of our cities':
Community members hold vigil to honor Minnesota woman killed by ICE

Quoted copy reads: 
Abughazaleh told The Daily she had cried five times since learning of the shooting.
"It was a mom that just dropped her kid off at school," Abughazaleh said. "Her wife saw her get shot in the head. She had stuffed animals in her glove box and a dog in her car."
She then called for the abolition of ICE and DHS and for prosecuting federal immigration agents.
"Get the f—k out of our cities," Abughazaleh said. "You're not wanted here. And as soon as we possibly can, we're not just abolishing ICE — we're holding all of you to account."
Headline screenshot of Evanston RoundTable: Protesters gather to condemn fatal shooting of Minneapolis woman

Quoted copy reads: 
Candidate Kat Abughazaleh said if she were in Congress, she would be launching an investigation into the shooting and dismantle the Department of Homeland Security.
"So many of us, including myself, have seen firsthand the brutality that ICE enacts in our communities," she said. "ICE has already shot people in broad daylight, killed people in broad daylight. Shooting a mother in the head ... isn't a surprise, but it still hurts. It still knocks the breath out of your chest."

This notion of a “kill switch” is sticking with me. Much like the use of Trump-related redactions, Trump wants to control a kill switch to make all of his perceived problems disappear. We can’t let it happen, despite sycophants like Bari Weiss who dishonor the duty of journalism.
