"Kyle now has the best legal representation in the country."
Kyle Rittenhouseās legal team has released a statement on the Kenosha shooting that left two dead, and said he isnāt a racist or a white supremacist.
It sounds like they are 100% geared up for a fight. https://t.co/NQrEBt0S6W

If you believed the polls when Biden was up big, believe them now when there is a real tightening.
The reason there is a real tightening is because Donald Trump just launched 1000 missiles in 4 days without a real response.

I asked an unmasked Trump rally attendee if she was worried about COVID. āIām really not. Iām 74, Iāve had all the tests. Iām fine,ā she said. āI don't know anybody thatās had it. So, weāll see, but I donāt think thereās going to be any problems.ā https://t.co/uRugKGk3Fq

Legal experts and Justice Department veterans say it's not the attorney general's job to engage in partisan politics. But with his statements attacking Trump's opponents, they say William Barr is doing exactly that.

The ODNI has cancelled all further briefings on foreign election interference.

The Administration clearly does not want Congress or the country informed of what Russia is doing.The last DNI was fired for doing so, and the IC has now been fully brought to heel.

Nope, wrong. It should worry all Members of Congressāor at least those who want the nuance and detailāthat theyāre not able to pose basic follow-up questions on perhaps the most important subject. Itās also why Executive Branch principals have briefers rather than drop books. https://t.co/QOQmdR48W4
