Big news: Court finds Maurene Comey's termination was unlawful and violated her rights under the Civil Service Reform Act, grants reinstatement and backpay. It's a strong and welcome punch in the nose to a bully. I'll be doing a longer youtube on it shortly at youtube.com@talkingfeds

We’ve only got 13 more days to the Midterms! 🗳️
If we (US) take the brunt of Russia’s anti-democratic op, I will accept it. If this is just the beginning of decades of attacks on anti-democratic norms, we are f$&ked

Similarly, crooked Donald Trump redirected $20 million in taxpayer funds from the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to pay for campaign-style television and streaming advertisements promoting him ahead of the midterm elections.
Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.
Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar.
“The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

The part of this clip where he points out that gas was cheap the day before he started bombing Iran could be run on its own as an attack ad by the Democrats
Given the earth-shaking significance of this reporting (and its Occam’s Razor probability), it should be available to everyone assuming it’s well sourced.
Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.
BREAKING: The FBI made a video trashing Democrats & hyping Kash Patel, then posted it during early voting
Spending your tax dollars to campaign or to hype the director is illegal -- This video did BOTH
