Were you to ask Leavitt etc, they would identify themselves as patriots whose beliefs rest on the country’s foundation. But with their talk of demons and evil, they are framing reality in a way that would justify Donald Trump’s campaign for fascist power. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/tragedy-br...

Shortly after Trump met with Putin in Alaska, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard abruptly ousted a CIA expert who had helped brief Trump’s team in the lead-up to the meeting. By naming this person in a memo, Gabbard appears to have identified a CIA officer who was operating under cover.

We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.

In 2024, I deployed the California Highway Patrol to operate regional partnerships in Bakersfield, San Bernardino, and Oakland. As a result, crime is down — with 9,000+ arrests, nearly 5,800 stolen vehicle recoveries, and 400+ illegal gun seizures. We're going to hold the line on these strategies.
