My latest article. Jenn Budd has been telling us about Border Patrol for years. We should pay attention, the evidence backs her story and her message (that border patrol is a criminal organization) is important.

Bondi called Rep. Massie "Trump derangement syndrome" — for asking about Epstein survivors.
He co-authored the transparency law. Asked why survivors weren't warned before their names were released. Her response: attack him.
Trump announced the Venezuela invasion as a drug war at 4 AM.

Strategic Contamination: The DOJ Trap: Mixing Truth with Lies
The DOJ released a letter they'd known was fake since 2020, let it spread for hours, then exposed it.
This isn't incompetence—it's strategic contamination.

In a 6-3 unsigned order, the majority rewarded the executive branch for openly defying lower court orders. It's a case of democratic backsliding in plain sight. #SCOTUS #ConLaw
This is because he is now in the pocket of the Saudi government.
