Virginia doesn’t need its own AOC. This endorsement should be all voters need to know that Tom Perriello would be a total disaster for #VA05.
@AOC : “If we want a Congress that actually fights for working people, we must take back the House in November. That is why I am endorsing Tom Perriello for Congress in Virginia’s 5th District. I would be proud to fight alongside Tom to rid Washington of corruption.”

Reminder that ZERO Virginia Democrats have had the courage to call out Spanberger’s insane sanctuary policies.
Not one candidate for Congress.
Not one elected member of the General Assembly or local official.
They all endorse this madness.

“These masked men in black clothing and umbrellas are all CCP agents, just like the ones during Hong Kong's anti-extradition movement back then—specially deployed to carry out covert suppression of anti-communist individuals. Nowadays, it's called "transnational repression." Their umbrellas are weapons, and even their hats are weapons. Many of these people have long since infiltrated the United States. I remember five years ago, a friend inside the system told me that in the US, the CCP had at least 50,000 agents—that was five years ago. Now, I estimate it's probably doubled or more. The United States should ramp up its efforts to arrest and deport these secret CCP agents.”
The above is from a follower of my Chinese language account @JenniferZeng15.
🚨Exclusive: During Xi Jinping’s U.S. visit, large numbers of suspected CCP public-security officers or security personnel appeared in Washington
This video was filmed yesterday by a Falun Gong friend who went to protest. It shows that at the scene of the protest against Xi Jinping in Washington, many young men in identical outfits appeared—all in black, wearing masks, each holding an umbrella—clustered across from the Waldorf Astoria hotel.
The friend said: “When we walked past, that group stared straight at us. One of them even jumped out and started filming us.”
Another Christian friend checked into a hotel in Washington yesterday, preparing to go protest Xi Jinping today.
He told me: “At the hotel I’m staying in, I found large numbers of Fujianese, plus some who look like Communist public-security officers. Tomorrow there will probably be trouble. Falun Gong should be prepared.
" I guess the CCP came prepared this time and is ready to stir up trouble. So everyone should be mentally prepared.
"I heard fighting has already broken out today. The people I saw in the hotel lobby were big and burly. They look a lot like CCP public-security personnel. There are many Fujianese. When I went to my room, the corridor by the door was packed with those middle-aged and older women.”
The CCP has indeed mobilized a great deal of force this time to “protect Xi Jinping” and disrupt the protesters.
The FBI should collect information on all these people.

Min Zin traveled to the Chinese city of Kunming in June 2026 to attend an academic workshop at the invitation of a Chinese university. He was detained by authorities immediately upon landing at the airport.

China again posted on X their view on the so-called “enemy State” clauses in the Charter of the United Nations, implying that these obsolete clauses remain in effect. Such postings are incompatible with relevant resolutions that were adopted at the United Nations and China supported to adopt.
China cast a vote in favor of the UNGA RES 1995, recognizing the clauses to have become obsolete. China also joined the consensus on the UNGA RES 2005, expressing the resolve of the leaders of the Member States to delete the clauses. We expect China, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, to respect these resolutions that China supported to adopt.
Since the end of World War II, Japan has consistently contributed to peace and prosperity in the international community as a peace-loving nation. This is widely recognized in the international community. Japan will continue to clearly articulate and communicate its views and policies as Prime Minister Takaichi did with her general debate speech.

Don't forget - President Trump was the first president to publicly identify the threat China poses to the United States, and reoriented American policy to ensure that we prevail. That strategy is central to putting America First, and will be front of mind for all American officials during Xi's state visit to the US.

Taiwan’s Air Force plans to establish a sixth brigade under the Air Defense and Missile Command in 2027, dedicated to protecting air-defense and missile units. The new guard brigade will consolidate existing Air Force military police elements and incorporate conscripts to provide security for Patriot and Sky Bow batteries, mobile launchers, air bases, and radar sites.
The reorganization is intended to place missile operations and ground security under a more unified command structure as Taiwan expands its air-defense force and increases the number of fixed and mobile missile positions. The command currently fields five missile brigades, including the 791st Brigade, which operates surface-to-surface strike systems.

Annual reminder: Bethlehem Steel was able to build a ship a day during WW2.
I think people still don't realize how insane WW2 really was. Number of military planes produced during WW2
America: 300.000 planes
Soviets: 140.000 planes
Britain: 130.000 planes
Germany: 120.000 planes
Japan: 90.000 planes
Today the US military has around 13.000 planes

US @StateDept must immediately PNG any accredited diplomat involved in these or other acts of #TransnationalRepression
Giving foreign diplomats of any country impunity to attack Americans exercising their 1st amendment rights is not #AmericaFirst
Zero tolerance must be the rule
“At least one of the attackers could not be arrested due to diplomatic immunity.”
China’s transnational repression, in broad daylight, without shame, often with impunity. How many of these incidents do we need - in 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🇪🇺- before someone is PNG’ed?

Communist China’s cars are spy machines on wheels, built to destroy America’s auto industry.
Why wouldn’t EVERY U.S. senator vote to ban Chinese vehicles?!
Sen. Bernie Moreno is expected to ask to pass his bill with Sen. Elissa Slotkin that would ban Chinese autos/connected components today
Sen. Rand Paul is expected to object to it, according to a person familiar with the matter, but the bill has otherwise cleared a hotline from the rest of the Senate (99 senators), the person said

🚨 You tell us: how much money did the CCP spend, and how many people did they hire, to “welcome Xi Jinping”?
This was filmed yesterday when Xi Jinping’s motorcade passed 12th Street and Constitution Avenue. The welcoming crowd shouted in unison: “Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!”
The friend who shot the video told me: “The welcoming crowd should all be from New York. They were speaking Southern mainland dialects, not Cantonese. Today the streets in DC are sealed off tight; in many places you can’t even walk through. Tomorrow should be the same.”

The PRC under Xi Jinping has publicly stated it would cooperate on or assist with fentanyl and related counter-narcotics work on multiple occasions since 2018–2019.
Later pledges (2023 Biden–Xi restart, 2025–2026 Trump–Xi deals) produced more promises with little real action: additional chemicals put on control or North America-specific export-license lists, notices to companies, some platform and ad takedowns, and a limited number of joint investigations and arrests.
Meanwhile, Fentanyl made from Chinese chemicals flowed into the USA and money laundered by the cartels flowed into Chinese banks.
