Adding a great thread by Ashton Pittman of the Mississippi Free Press on this issue. He warns: spreading false info now will hurt us later.
In order of trustability: 1) primary evidence (emails, photos), 2) FBI agent reports, 3) "302" witness interviews, 4) CHS reports, 5) public tips.

Don't focus on uncorroborated tips in the Epstein files. Focus on the consistent claims that have documented evidence.
The Trump DOJ may have front loaded these releases with a lot of those uncorroborated and wild tips about him in there exactly to undermine more serious allegations and files.

I’m on the ground in Minneapolis for @baptistnews.com and this is spot on. I’ve never seen anything like this.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Primary challenger to one of the seven Democrats who just voted to fund ICE.
Our community deserves someone willing to stand up and deliver impactful leadership. And yet Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez, along with 6 other Democrats in the House, just voted through a funding bill that will give ICE billions of dollars with minimal guardrails.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

They are unlawfully detaining people for First Amendment protected activities, as far as I can tell. Dragging people out of their vehicles absent witnessing a crime and without a judicial warrant is repugnant to our constitutional order.
New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.
The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

CBP agent Timothy Donahue was photographed outside the Whipple building yesterday. In Chicago, he was documented aggressively detaining bystanders; also involved in at least one car crash.
Most importantly, he also brandished his gun at a crowd in Evanston on 10/31.
