Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.

How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?

just building this awful camp system is a crime against humanity imo
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

Early returns in Louisiana’s special election:

The Dem candidate is leading 58.5% to 41.5%. That’s with a third of the vote in.

Context: this is a Dem-held seat but in a district TRUMP carried by 13%, so has been a big/obvious GOP target. Stay tuned.

I'm hoping shit like this helps open the eyes of people saying Chuck is doing the best he can. Do you see now why new rules or best practices (or laws!) can't be part of the ICE spending bill? It's gotta be gutted whole. It just obstinance or ignorance to stand ten toes down on it at this point
NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

Woody Allen’s wife and stepdaughter, Soon Yi Previn, commented to Jeffrey Epstein about Anthony Weiner sexting with a 15-year-old girl:

“…It was disgusting what the 15-year-old did to him.”

She called the girl “a despicable and disgusting person…”
