Trump's Gestapo somehow regained the capability to bring Abrego Garcia home once they cooked up phony charges against him based on being pulled over for a traffic violation in 2022. In real time, there were no charges. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

Thank you to all the incredibly brave soldiers, sailors, and airmen who, not so long ago, gave so much to rid the world of Fascism and Tyranny. Let us not drop the baton, lest their sacrifices be in vain.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division
