This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

Note the date. Five years after Epstein was convicted of child sex trafficking. Elon hanging out with a pedophile. If his Board of Directors had any balls, they'd make him resign.

This gets us one step closer toward the final form of Tesla, where the only thing it sells is pieces of paper that say “we swear this isn’t a Ponzi scheme.”

It's amazing how this radical "step too far" is how every law enforcement officer in the country operated for our entire history.
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gave Trump $190 billion for DHS, including $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP.
That's money Republicans stripped from rural hospitals and helping people afford health care.
Congress should claw it back and put serious restraints on DHS.

Any bill MUST also prohibit ICE thugs from wearing masks, and ban them from areas near voting locations
I support cleaning house at DHS.
Greg Bovino should be fired.
Kristi Noem should be fired.
Stephen Miller should be fired.
But none of those things alone will fix ICE – a new figure will take their place, and nothing will change unless Congress exerts some muscle here.

It is inconceivable to me that any Democrat would vote for a DHS funding bill that fails to include a mandate that requires these federal goons to take their masks off.

Maybe it’s just me, but the United States isn’t fit to host major world events like the Olympics or the World Cup whilst the fascist MAGA regime’s reign of terror and chaos over the country continues. I say cancel it all and have another country like Canada host them instead.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

You should have ended the second sentence after “DHS.”
ICE and DHS are out of control and making our communities less safe.
I will not support funding for DHS without clear accountability and stronger controls over the agency.
It is time for the Senate to do its job and rein in this lawlessness.

ICE killed another Minneapolitan in cold blood
Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.
