NBC News's Tom Llamas did an hour-long interview with Trump filled with softballs & filled with Trump lies that he didn't challenge.

Worst of all, he did not ask 1 single question to Trump about the Epstein files & the 38,000 references to Trump.

Our mainstream media is broken. Subscribe to Zeteo.

“To scroll through the Epstein files is to glimpse a world where there are no rules, which is also what it’s like to live through the Trump presidency. … Of course Trump cannot even feign outrage at what was done to all those girls, because in his view of the world, he is always somehow the victim.”

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

“…what makes this moment especially dangerous is not just Trump’s mental unraveling. It’s the silence. The elected Republicans who hear statements like this and either say nothing, shrug, or pretend it’s normal political talk are actively participating in the erosion of democracy.”

ICE is now claiming it can arrest people without a warrant.

This comes after another internal memo asserting ICE agents can forcibly enter homes without a judicial warrant.

Hello? Democrats cannot let these blatantly unconstitutional actions continue. Not another penny for ICE.
