No way older grey Epstein could go into a mall, or a fitness club, and entice children to go with him - only a posh sounding woman can do the enticing, fishing, and entrapment. This is Maxwell - she is NOT and never HAS been, a victim. She is just as evil and guilty, if not more so.

โWelcome to hellโ: Inside the megaprison where the U.S. deported migrants

One was beaten unconscious. Others were covered in bruises, struggling to walk or vomiting blood. Another said heโd been sexually assaulted.
These are the stories of 16 former detainees who were deported to El Salvadorโs mega prison.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.
Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

ICE claims to be going into only tough spots, but the โtoughโ spots are court hearings and car washes. And now, ICE has a budget larger than the IDF. Despite all that, we are cutting food assistance, SNAP, and health care. Itโs outrageous.

This is the assault rifle the Manhattan shooter used, blood still on it.
Modified with a scope, flashlight, and tactical sling.
As @blueskyfanatic.bsky.social pointed out, the same assault rifle that congressional Republicans have pinned on them every day, like a badge of honor.

With reckless tariffs and federal funding cuts, our farmers are facing more uncertainty in an already uncertain business.
In Minnesota, we know our farmers are indispensable. Thatโs why we put partisan politics aside to fight for an ag bill that protects our farmers.
