🧵 The Civilian Protection Center of Excellence, was formed by Biden's defense secretary Lloyd Austin, intended to minimize risk to civilians during war.
Hegseth scrapped the office to favor lethality.
It could have prevented the tragic death of nearly 200 Iranian children.

This is amazing; am watching on C-SPAN3. If she had a staff member who liked her, that person would've walked up to her 15 minutes ago to whisper in her ear to get out of there.
But no one is protecting her. Any one of these attendees can break the news to her on live tv.

A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors
A Nashville comedian’s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the “banality of evil personified” in the U.S. immigration crackdown.
New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

The proof of citizenship for American-born citizens is a birth certificate.
For naturalized citizens, it's a Certificate of Naturalization.
I'll bet more immigrants than American-born citizens keep their documentation on hand.
The SAVE Act might let more immigrants vote than American-born citizens.

Because if Talarico is just going to be Fetterman, Manchin, Sinema or Cornyn/Paxton lite, there is no point for Black folks to hum and sway in those voting lines in November either.
But y'all got it.

Why would black folk vote for the white man who makes you hum and sway when black folk could vote for the black candidate who stays on beat?
That's why the content creator Morgan was concerned about Carville's connections to Talarico's campaign and what their agenda means for Black Texans.

Then you have James Carville and his ilk running around saying no more Black candidates, just find the white person that can run up in the black church and get those blacks to hum and sway and there's your winner.

What exactly does "independent of Democrats" mean? Does that mean if Trump is impeached, Talarico will vote to acquit so the Republicans he somehow convinces to vote for him won't be mad at him? Does that mean he'll be appeasing white voters who just want to "come together and get along?"

Now ask yourself, why is Talarico being touted as somebody who will be "independent of Democrats?"
What does that mean, exactly?
Because if Talarico is running to serve Independents and MAGA, he has no business being the DEMOCRATIC Senator from Texas.

They didn't even know who James Talarico was but they had marching orders from this "Keith Edwards" person (who is now running around saying "Vote for James Talarico because he's going to be Independent of Democrats") to encourage people to stop Jasmine Crockett by shutting down her money.
