The Epstein class feels like a good label to try and run with bsky.app/profile/thet...
🗣️ @ossoff.senate.gov : “Remember — We were told MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. The wealthiest Cabinet ever. THIS IS THE EPSTEIN CLASS. They are the elites they pretend to hate. If you’re Bannon, how do you sell any of this?”

If ICE gets even one of these facilities fully up and running, it’ll immediately be the second-largest jail in the country behind only Rikers Island.
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.
Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

I don’t think Vance is a true believer and so I believe there’s a place inside him left that still feels this shame and hurt.
That some part of him knows that he sold every last inch of his soul he could sell. That he crossed every line of decency and dignity in hope of reward.
And this is reward.

The text messages a Border Patrol agent sent to colleagues and family after he shot a Chicago woman five times can be released to the public, a federal judge rules. In messages previously released, the agent had bragged about his marksmanship.

The government dropped its case against Marimar Martinez but her lawyers say it has refused to correct the record after calling her a “domestic terrorist.”
