A follow up on this Jesse Watters clip from 3 weeks ago. The victim of ICE testified today before Congress that she was on her way to a 39th scheduled treatment at a traumatic brain injury center.

One of the fascinating things abt this Epstein email dump is finding tipster letters to the FBI:
"Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself. He was killed by Giuliani and MA when Epstein found out about Giuliani's identity theft and campaign money embezzlement schemes."

ICE is being turned down all over the country from being able to build detention centers. But the truth is they probably would detain the construction workers after the projects are completed. 🔄 🤬

A multimillionaire thinks that paying down the national debt is so important that all the poors should get into the workforce earlier, work in it harder, and stay in it later to help pay it off.
It's the only possible way to do it!

Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

Rep Lieu on Kristi Noem: “Under her leadership, the Department of Homeland Security has killed a number of Americans. She needs to resign, or she needs to be fired. And if not, impeachment proceedings need to proceed.”

Epstein’s network don’t just abuse. They also manage memory, credibility, and silence. That’s why we’ve heard from so few survivors.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

ICE agents draw handguns on unarmed observers in Minneapolis for documenting their actions. Guns escalate fear, not safety. Pointing firearms at civilians enforces silence through terror. Congress keeps funding this behavior. Own it. #FundHealthcareOverICE

Hitler made Göring president of the Reichstag, so at least there is some precedent for this
I’m not the first to observe this, but: Mike Johnson functions as a staffer to Donald Trump, not as a speaker of the House. He has made this august, important role teeny-tiny. He is smaller than Stephen Miller and the like. It would be pitiable if it weren’t so consequential.

If people are finding out as a late as now how Trumpism is wannabe fascism, they should be accepted in a big pro-democracy, pro-pluralism, pro-equality tent. Their belated dissent is welcome. Democracy is in danger and this is not the time for the usual holier-than-thou approach!

I strongly disagree with my friend Steve here. I think a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility—the most modern and secure one, because our president deserves the best—should be named after Trump.
If elected to Congress, I pledge to do my best to enact this into law.

It happened so fast it made everyone's head spin in the legal profession—and no doubt caused the panic that led other firms to capitulate.

Paul Weiss was one of the first major law firms to bend the knee to Trump.
And, yup, connected to Epstein.

"The promise of the American democratic experiment now resides in the Free States of the Union. They cannot accede to the illegitimate actions of a renegade executive."
