It only took them 12 months to build massive concentration camps all over the USA. You’d think there would be more uproar, but no. No one cares unless it’s in their backyard.

Eric Swalwell: “How many times does Trump’s name appear in the Epstein files? Is it a thousand?

Kash Patel “No, nowhere near that.”

ES: “Is it 500?”

KP: “No”

Turns out it’s 38,000.

THIRTY EIGHT THOUSAND TIMES.

My law firm intervened in every case DOJ has filed to gain access to states' sensitive voting data. So far we have won several and lost none. But this is going to be a long fight for free and fair elections.

NEW: Statement from NAACP president

"Donald Trump’s racist video is disgusting and utterly despicable. Trump is obviously desperate to distract us from the Epstein files and his rapidly failing economy. You know who isn’t in the Epstein files? Barack Obama"

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Just to say there are two names we should think of right now: 1) Virginia Giuffre, who not only spoke out about Epstein but supported other women to do the same. 2) Julie K Brown, the journalist who exposed it all by doing what no one else had done - listening to the victims and believing them.

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We hit 'em. And we want to hit 'em right, sir, and we want to hit them from the top! East, west, north, south. Sir, they won't know what the hell! And we'll knock them out. We did it politically correct. Five years."

I hear my friends
expressing outrage
that a billionaire was asked:
“how do we get rid
of poor people
as a whole,”
and at the same time
I hear my friends
calmly explain
that it’s too much bother
to wear a mask anymore,
and so I fear my friends
are doing their part
of that “how.”

🚨BREAKING: The White House Thursday refused to rule out the presence of immigration enforcement at voting locations this November, a response that follows extremist rhetoric about placing federal forces at the polls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
White House ‘can’t guarantee’ ICE won’t be at polls
The federal government has historically recognized polling places as off-limits for immigration enforcement precisely to avoid deterring lawful voters.

Trump claims he wants to cap credit card interest rates.

But before his announcement, his own regulators filed a legal brief opposing a Colorado law that would do just that.

Don’t believe his fake populism for a second. He will always govern for the rich and powerful — not you.
