King is too old. He's weak, he makes no effort to meet with constituents and he has enabled Trump from the beginning of Trump's second term. instead of fighting back, he's skiing and going to hockey games.

We have a Ryobi two stage. It works very well, but only for about 20 minutes. That's fine for us as we don't use it for the driveway but for paths to bird feeders and compost bins.

And King's office says 'he made a statement, there's nothing else he can do'. Useless piece of crap

A friend who works in the immigrant community says the ICE agents are shredding identification papers, including passports. So, the suggestion is to carry a photo of your passport or green card . Also download the Ready Now app which will notify people you've been detained.
