But every day tens of thousands are brutalized, abducted, abused, deprived of medical care & deported. There are just 7 more days. Until the election! #ICELawlessness

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

You’ll notice the American state media treated Hunter Biden’s laptop, the lies spread about him by GOPers and his selling of paintings as more of a earth shattering story than criminal slumlord committing treason by taking billions of dollars in bribes whilst shaping US foreign policy. Disgusting.

Abdul El-Sayed's "weird friends" didn't beat up 100+ cops while trashing the U.S. Capitol. JD Vance's "weird friends" did.

Q: Is El-Sayed a jihadist like President Trump said yesterday? JD VANCE: Well look, he certainly has a lot of weird friends

Mississippi Senate candidate Scott Colom CHALLENGES Trump to debate after blasting Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith for holding no town halls in SIX YEARS. β€œSince she's chicken, why don't you debate?” On Epstein: β€œThey promised they would prosecute pedophiles, not protect them.”

WOW: Mississippi Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom says he went DIRECTLY to Trump's rally and spoke with people waiting in line. Some weren't even there to support Trump. One told him they were attending because there was β€œnothing else to do” β€” but planned to VOTE FOR COLOM.
