Quote of the Day in the @nytimes “I cannot think of a democratic country with a reliable rule of law where security forces mask themselves,” Mr. Levitsky said. “It just doesn’t happen.” Stronger, more confident regimes rarely mask.” https://t.co/1dphZudYDe

This is pure speculation but I wouldn't be surprised if the reason Trump sent the FBI after John Bolton is because he learned this article was coming and figured Bolton was the source behind it.

Just one question: are your kids vaccinated, JD?
When I see all these senators trying to lecture and "gotcha" Bobby Kennedy today all I can think is: You all support off-label, untested, and irreversible hormonal "therapies" for children, mutilating our kids and enriching big pharma. You're full of shit and everyone knows it.
