Sounds like some kind of payoff to Roberts, maybe 1 or 2 others, dating back to 2016.

Yes. There's so much to hold this administration accountable for.

I sure do hope so, esp for those who were killed and those hospitalized from excessive force.

And the CPAC org paid them off to keep quiet about the assaults.

Excerpt from Minnesota Star Tribune article: ICE agent charged with two felonies for allegedly pointing gun at motorists during surge
---------------
While her office continues to pursue evidence from the Trump administration in the shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti and Julio Sosa-Celis — along with several other actions by federal agents during the surge — Moriarty said the charging decision in this case was more straightforward because the Minnesota State Patrol was able to conduct a complete investigation of the incident and submit a case file.

“This is the only case that we actually know what the federal officers say,” Moriarty said. “We have their statement. We have video. The difference is that it came to us just like any other case would have.”

That includes having access to the agent’s name, witness statements from the motorists and cellphone footage and surveillance camera footage that showed several elements of what took place.

Still trying to get the ICE/FBI investigation materials and pursuing evidence in those cases.

JD identified as an atheist for yrs. Thiel began grooming him for politics. I know Thiel's not Catholic, but I'm sure he told JD to find "religion" to run as a Repub. I've always thought he "converted" to Catholicism as a ruse, so it's easy for him to criticize the Pope & lie as much as trump does.

I want to ❤️ this a million times! Orban's taken away certain rights & unilaterally made changes to the courts making way for his authoritarian rule. Worse, he's ruined Hungary's economy & made many citizens poorer. Tho much smaller, Hungary provides a good picture of the US w Project 2025 & trump.

Honestly, imo, looking at presidential candidate polls this far out is not helpful. Many names will rise & fall over the next 2 yrs.

Midterms should be center stage right now. 2028 polling & debating distracts from & can drown out our current dire straits & the midterm candidates.

This also applies to people With ins who can't use the powder inhalers bcuz… side effects, but ins denies coverage for albuterol that works for me w no side effects. The Pitt got the price w/o ins correct - $450-500. So, I'll have to wait for Medicare in June. Hopefully, my Part D will cover it.

The problem is we're not hearing this enough in the media. Every Democrat should be talking about this on tv, social media, print interviews, everywhere all the time.

How much more & from where can they possibly cut health care programs? As it is, the overfunding of ICE in the Big Ugly bill could have gone a long way in funding 1 add'l yr of enhanced ACA tax credits & less cuts to Medicaid. What else do they want to fund now?

Think Democrats in the Republican-led Senate are blocking TSA funding? Think again! It was Trump who canceled a bipartisan deal w Leader Thune, choosing chaos over compromise—risking safety by unleashing inexperienced ICE agents into airports. Stay informed & hold them accountable! #TSA #Politics

@wsj.com I think you all should do exactly this for our current (47) administration and the former (45) administration. It will probably take up much more space than the one pictured above, but paper sales would be off the charts for such an edition. 🔥

Pete is actually on TV with a straight face complaining that Iran has been spending its money on weapons/war instead of helping its people 💀💀💀💀💀

That’s enough irony for me for one day.

Also, I believe Hegseth wants the US to blow stuff up like on video games. He's very unserious & emotionally immature. Just listen to the way he answers (or doesn't) journalists' questions. He's also in trump's ear.

Yeah, he's an id*ot. $2000 to all low and middle income adults would be somewhere between 500 and 550B. Trump comes up a little short 🍄. All he's done, both in his 1st term and this one, is add trillions more to the debt. This unnecessary war is adding billions more. 🤯

I've been following this & other stories since 1/2025. There seem to be anomalies in many counties, mostly swing states, where Harris's vote tallies were way off from what would be expected. @thiswillhold.bsky.social @thiswillhold.substack.com.web.brid.gy has been sounding the alarm since Dec 2024.

And as I understand, T-rx isn't different than discount cards GoodRx, WellRx, etc or DTC option Cost Plus Drugs. Same concept, different name - something else for trump to slap his name on & puff his ego. But w the others, it doesn't matter if you have ins or not & it covers more meds than T-rx.

Trump sought $5B from Middle East nations while holding their futures in his hands

He promised lower prices & then delivered Kushner a fundraising pipeline

Trump sued Dem-led states to try to force them to use the new DOGE-created voter purge system (called “SAVE”), but the courts said NO. The so-called “SAVE America Act” aims to enact this same requirement. Remember Florida’s bogus voter purge in 2000? Now multiply that times all 50 states.
