Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC. Let me get this straight: Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds? Release the Epstein files.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

We need more leaders to insist on accountability the way James Talarico has here.
Screenshot of a post on X by Team Talarico (@TeamTal…) quoting James Talarico calling for a full investigation into ICE if Democrats win a Senate majority, saying masked agents should be brought before Congress so the world can see their faces. The post also calls for a law banning agents from wearing masks and “kidnapping people off the streets without a warrant,” and ends: “We shouldn’t be afraid of our government — our government should be afraid of us.” Below the text is a video thumbnail showing James Talarico speaking on camera in front of a backdrop repeating “TALARICO FOR TEXAS,” with an “Exclusive” lower-third and a 0:38 timestamp.
