Either Blanche was deceived by the sexual predator he moved into a cushier prison, or he is being untruthful about when he found out about Maxwell’s emails to Epstein.

Either way, this saga is nowhere close to ending. trib.al/lRY6CKG
How Did Todd Blanche’s Interview With Ghislaine Maxwell Miss This?

There sure is a lot of missing evidence when it comes to DHS.
An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:

ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

Why is Trump trying so hard to stop the Epstein files from coming out? It must be because he cares so much about due process.

Hell, here's hoping someone sues or demands a criminal investigation. He made false claims about them to law enforcement.

Prosecute his sorry white ass.
According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

The president will discuss the economy, but he will also provide important updates about Hannibal Lecter's dinner plans and Arnold Palmer's substantial penis. Additionally, his team of military physicians will reveal the record-setting results of his latest cognitive testing.

In a single day, two different federal officers point guns at two different @chicagotribune.com photojournalists in and around Chicago. This is dangerous stuff.
1/2 Are there any experts out there who can correctly identify the weapons being pointed directly at these two @chicagotribune.com photojournalists?

What type of gun is this?

Media has become an endless river of oligarchic monopoly money. trib.al/8hb71XG

Public constraint has largely evaporated, and that doesn’t mean the system has been handed over to “the market.” Today, 40% of all local TV news stations are under the control of the 3 largest broadcast conglomerates.

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.

"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"

Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.

Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.
AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…
