James Myall@jamesxmyall.bsky.social · 6h agoICE arrested this Mainer and sent him to Guatemala "accidently" and in defiance of a judicial order.

#GA Did you know that Jon Ossoff spent years exposing corruption as an investigative journalist? Now in the Senate, he refuses corporate PAC money & is leading the fight to ban stock trading by members of Congress. When you don't take checks from special interests, you're free to work for families.
It’s such a schtick he does, like he’s letting his audience in on a secret. But it’s so old and tired now I can’t believe even his base goes for it

"Cool dude, see you in discovery!" is the obvious UNO Reverse card to Trump's attempts to bully organizations by suing them for a trillion dollars. It's a massive indictment of the US system that one after another institutions and major organizations settled and paid bribes rather than play it.
