this is obviously intended to chill dissent but i think it's going to backfire on them. what the lawmakers said was just directly true. and trying to get them for it is just going to raise their profile and the salience of what they said!
MS NOW confirms: The FBI is working with Capitol Police to schedule interviews with the six Democratic lawmakers who urged service members to refuse to comply with illegal orders.

Leavitt: Why aren't you talking about what these members of congress are doing to encourage violence…. They're literally saying to 1.3 million active duty service members not to follow lawful orders

Reporter: Actually they said illegal orders.

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not.

I am spending Saturday night writing about all the people Trump is targeting with politically motivated criminal investigations and prosecutions. Legacy media has largely whitewashed these stories with both sides coverage. Subscribe to Democracy Docket now, because I never will. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.

But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:
North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.

Either this is an example of celebs considered a good source for political insights is... a mistake...
Or Mr Voight is f#cking nuts.

Personally I think both statements are true.
Actor Jon Voight calls on Trump to “terminate immediately” the mayoralty of Mamdani because he’s going to turn NYC into “a forbidden place of darkness” and a “refugee shelter for the radical Muslim ideology.”

Epstein assaulted Maria Farmer and her sister Annie. Kidnapped her. Threatened her life (via Ghislaine Maxwell). Maria reported this to the FBI, which did nothing, to Vanity Fair magazine, which didn’t print the information as a favor to Epstein.

Now she has contacted writer Ellie Leonard:

Michael Wolff sat on Epstein info like many in media do—silence buys future interviews, access, and book deals. The elite protect each other until it’s profitable to expose. Journalism turned into gossip currency, and truth only drops when it benefits their careers, not the victims.
Hey so it's also extremely weird that "journalist" Michael Wolff was giving Jeffrey Epstein advice on how to handle his pedophilia PR
