Don't get in the van. If a masked stranger jumps out of an unmarked van and tries to force you inside without identifying themselves—it’s not law enforcement. It’s a crime. You are not obligated to comply. You have every right to protect yourself. Stay alert. Stay safe. Know your rights.

Add that up, and you are staring at a theoretical maximum of 225 years in federal prison. Kushner and his lawyers are screaming that this is all fake news, naturally. But if even a fraction of this is true, it means he spent four years selling out American foreign policy to the highest bidder.

he reportedly wired some of that untraceable cash to a warlord, a mercenary, and an actual hit man. You really cannot make this up. The most hilarious part of this alleged international master plan? He got busted because Dutch intelligence hacked his phone.

The guy who was tasked with solving Middle East peace couldn't even secure his own iPhone X. If you do the math on the absolute bare minimum federal charges this little enterprise would rack up, it is staggering. A minimum of 18 federal felony counts for the sheer audacity of it all:

We've got to nationalize SpaceX. We have no choice. We can't operate our military without them and we can't trust them to serve our national interest. There is literally no other option.

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

Alito flew multiple flags tied to Jan 6 insurrectionists. Thomas just gave a speech on how "progressivism" is destroying the country — plus his wife was involved in the Jan 6 plot. And Roberts has pushed "shadow docket" cases where justices make decisions without explaining themselves. Please.

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.
