🚨 BREAKING: In a major loss for voters, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump administration to initiate voter roll purges using a flawed database involving Americans' private data. The ruling will disproportionately impact naturalized citizens who've been wrongly flagged in the system.

United Airlines SUCKS: aaronparnas.substack.com/p/news-repub...
United Passenger Says Airline Kept Her Seated Next to Man Who Masturbated on Flight, Then Let Him Leave Without Consequence. A 25-year-old United Airlines passenger says she was forced to remain seated next to a man who exposed himself and masturbated while staring at her during a Sept. 3 flight from Rochester to Newark, and that flight attendants required her to return to that seat for landing despite her reported discomfort because no other seats were available. She says United never notified law enforcement, and the man deplaned without being stopped, even after she raised concerns at the gate that he might be boarding another flight. She filed complaints with United, the FAA, and the FBI, but says a United representative would only communicate by email, offered language she called victim-blaming, and gave her a $100 flight credit despite her not seeking a refund. United, the FAA, and the FBI all declined to provide details when contacted by NBC News. The woman says she wants the man identified and barred from flying, and is speaking out mainly over the airline’s failure to act rather than the incident itself.

Portland Press Herald screenshot

"Daniel Boucher was getting ready for work Monday morning when he heard what sounded like fireworks going off outside of his home near downtown Biddeford.

He rushed to the window, where he saw an SUV trying to ram a small white car in the intersection. Moments later, agents in vests stopped the car and pulled the driver out.

“He was bleeding profusely from the head,” Boucher said later Monday morning. “He was talking. He said, ‘I tried to stop.'”

Boucher watched in disbelief as the man’s legs stopped moving as he lay on the ground. He believes he watched him die."

Trump wants to shut down the government in September to force Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act, rig the midterm elections, and disenfranchise millions of American citizens. If the government shuts down in September, remember one man was cheerleading for that outcome all along: Donald Trump.

Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran - PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!
