Mamdani: "What you could see in the videos is bystanders outside unsure as to what they were even seeing. Because in that imagery, it feels as if you’re almost looking at a mass shooter as opposed to seeing someone who’s purportedly representing a federal agency."

🚨 LIES EXPOSED! Trump's supposed Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire was INSTANTLY revealed to be a lie!
Trump announced “both parties have agreed.”
Zelenskyy said was “NEWS TO ME.”
Now a top Russian lawmaker says he knows NOTHING about the deal and suggests Trump is trying to manipulate oil prices!

7 shots fired into an SUV with a 5-year-old child in the back seat as the vehicle was moving away.
Markwayne Mullin claims the driver “weaponized” his vehicle. Bullshit!
“Weaponized vehicle” has become ICE’s go-to excuse for shooting folks.
Where’s the evidence? It’s not in this new footage.

So a bunch of guys in plainclothes surrounded a man in a car and shot him, then the government disappeared him and refuses to release any information about his condition or whereabouts
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We had to put him to a more secure facility outside of New York because we wanted to make sure he was highly secured
REPORTER: Where is he?
MULLIN: That I won't release

Indeed, Trump himself has 34 felony convictions and was facing a further 92 felony charges... but nothing is going to happen to him, because SCOTUS threw a blanket of immunity over him. I think this is what he means.

This is apparently happening in multiple areas in the capital. The DC board of elections has been made aware of it and have been in touch with the National Guard to address it. It’s no accident.

Obamacare let my kids stay on my health insurance until they were 26
It was a godsend financially for them and me
Republicans have never even proposed something similar or better
On this issue alone I would never vote for any Republican
They are horrible at governance

You should never have to wonder whether soldiers are watching you vote.
This footage shows uniformed troops standing beside an official ballot drop box in Washington, D.C. Who sent them there?
What were their orders?
