The message from Trump is crystal clear - if you beat the hell of out police, if you threaten to kill FBI officers - I will make sure you get away with it if you are breaking the law to keep me in power.

If you don't see it, this is a message about 2028.

1. President Trump has granted a pardon to Suzanne Kaye, who was sentenced to serve 18 months in federal prison for threatening to shoot FBI agents if they came to her home to speak to her about her presence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

Father of two, Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, senselessly killed by ICE

He had no criminal history, just traffic tickets. He was a soft-spoken man who left his quiet village years ago for economic opportunity in the US and worked long hours to support his two children.

When ICE reported Chaofeng Ge’s death on Aug. 6, it "said he was found the day before, hanging in a shower stall with a cloth tied around his neck. It made no mention of additional bindings that were on hands and feet."

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

Speculation is that ICE could be trying to move people out to clean the holding cells and to set up cots to comply with the latest judicial order to address inhumane conditions inside the facility. The judge is currently scheduled to inspect the facility Thursday morning.
