Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) thought he was owning President Donald Trump by bringing an illegal immigrant to the State of the Union last month. The move was deliberate — a calculated piece of political theater designed to put a face on what Democrats call an "immigration tragedy." He wanted to make Marcelo Gomes da Silva into a liberal icon, the next Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now it looks like a publicity stunt gone horribly wrong.
AMoulton had made a point of publicizing his invitation to bring Gomes da Silva to President Trump's speech. Sympathetic press coverage poured in. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey invited him to tour her State House office. Moulton went on MSNOW and gushed that Gomes da Silva was "a great American," "a patriot," and "a reminder of what courage looks like."
There's just one problem. According to a report from the Boston Herald, the Milford, Massachusetts, police have two reports from 2021 that reference Gomes da Silva by name, involving sexual assault, and they won't let anyone read them.

So, guess who had a Trump card to play against Trump?
I am busting a gut with laughter.
The US is going to Ukraine to ask for help to fight against Iranian drones, since Ukraine has experience with this form of warfare.
Zelenskyy is a diplomat. I know inside he's saying: Who holds all the cards now, mother ****er?
But on the outside he's going to play his cards to benefit his people. So, in the end Trump will be forced to hand over the muleta to Zelenskyy to perform the estocada on Russia.
How poetic.

Video: UCSF staffer allegedly threatens to ‘hunt’ down and ‘kill’ conservative activist
https://www.thecollegefix.com/video-ucsf-staffer-allegedly-threatens-to-hunt-down-and-kill-conservative-activist/
Beth Bourne has been demonized as a hateful highly abrasive activist. She's probably "just" blunt and very vocal. I believe she lives in Davis, a couple hours from SF.
UCSF was founded to be California's main medical school. I am not exaggerating in saying that UCSF oncology staff, some 35 years ago, saved my daughter's life. That it has fallen to the point of supporting chemical emasculation and surgical mutilation is an outrage that saddens me.
Given how screwed up and violence-prone at least some trans are, this UCSF higher up threatening to kill a woman she disagrees with does not entirely surprise me.

Of course, there's no mention of what was false about the videos.
