President Trump is ordering federal law enforcement officers to patrol Washington, DC.

The effort will start as a week-long operation but can be extended as needed. Included will be officers and agents from the FBI, DEA, ATF, and ICE. It comes after a former DOGE staff member was attacked in DC.

Fort Bend County GOP's Dr. Bobby Eberle hits the nail on the head: voter ID laws aren't controversial among actual voters, including minorities who support these common-sense measures.⁣

Democrats are "throwing fits" because it removes one avenue for potential fraud. When you require the same ID to vote that you need to buy alcohol or board a plane, suddenly it's "voter suppression"?⁣

The public gets it, even if progressive politicians don't. This isn't about disenfranchisement - it's about election integrity. Period.

With Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo pushing again today for another tax-hike, it turns out that last year Harris County spent over $900,000 on Lina's security detail, which is more than all of the other Commissioners combined! (according to a report from the Houston Chronicle.) The Lone Republican Commissioner Tom Ramsey did not spend any money on personal security.

‼️BREAKING: The woman who was brutally attacked in downtown Cincinnati torches city leaders for being soft on crime, says thugs who film beatings instead of calling 911 should be prosecuted.

“We need *more* police officers.”

“The judges who are just letting people out with a slap … the man who attacked me and might have permanently damaged me forever should never have been on the streets.”

“He had just gotten out of jail previously for something he should have been in there for years.”

“It’s really sad to me because I can't even fathom how many other people who have been attacked by the same type of man over and over and over.”

“The biggest thing that I think really upsets me is the desensitization of humans where there's a brutal attack, and they all think, ‘oh, cool. Let me get my phone and record it.’”

“I truly hope that in the future, there's some sort of bill to where somebody has to be prosecuted or at least fined if they don't call 911 to save someone's life.”
