AOC: β€œThat’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”

Impeachment, conviction, and removal only work when Congress has a spine.

Walz responds that he is the governor of Minnesota and not there to serve as a prop for her obsession. Below is a video still showing Walz seated at a hearing table with a nameplate reading β€œGovernor Walz.”

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Well, that’s convenient. According to the released files, the FBI did not conclude that Epstein operated a sex-trafficking ring for powerful men.

ICE raids have 'overwhelmed' coastal California communities Communities in three California counties "overwhelmed" as ICE raids ramp up in the region.

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind.
β€œThey arrested someone,” witness said. β€œThey left the children inside the truck.”

β€œAnd how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

I struggle with this passage. I want to disagree with it, but I find it hard to.

You?

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism"

"That theory has been debunked"

"One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"
