This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black.
And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act.
Sit with that.

Already at least $1.4B richer since taking office, Trump is now suing the IRS for a jaw-dropping $10B over the leak of his tax returns.
As he exploits the presidency for self-enrichment and retribution, millions are still struggling with the soaring cost of living.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

Wow! I can’t believe we got this done! Now call your senators and tell them restrictions are nice, but they should strip the BBB funding of ICE and CBP.
🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

This is not surprising; the same was true when Renee Good was shot. Care was denied. Blood is on the hands of the Trump Regime; let's fight for justice, and that the lawless followers are held accountable for these horrific actions.
A pediatrician who attempted to save the life of Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by Customs and Border Protection agents, has alleged that agents denied Pretti medical care for several minutes after the shooting took place, then appeared to count his wounds rather than administer CPR.
Doctor Who Tried to Help Pretti Says Feds Counted Wounds Instead of Doing CPR
“There was absolutely no need for any violence, let alone lethal force by multiple officers,” the witness stated.
