It's official: Rep. Jasmine Crockett has announced she's running for U.S. Senate in Texas.

it was very exactly maybe about twelve billion, roughly, to the penny

Trump: "We did a very, you know, study ahhumm ahhh progression of charts. And we figured out a very exact number and it was about $12 billion."

12 FBI agents who were fired this year for taking a knee during racial justice protests in 2020 are suing the Bureau and Kash Patel, alleging unlawful retaliation.

You may recall Rachel recently participated in a live event in Chicago with Timothy Snyder that sold out pretty quickly.

Well the good news is this Friday at 9pmET you'll be able to watch that event on MS NOW.

There was real debate on whether this kind of torture was justified to use on members of Al Qaeda who were a threat to America (spoiler: it wasn’t)

So why the fuck is it being used on refugees just trying to make a better life for themselves?

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Steve Bannon is all over the newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails, raising questions about the 15 hours of interviews he has promised to release Newly released emails to and from the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein include correspondence with former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, expanding on previous reporting that Bannon had up to 15 hours...

A reminder that Steve Bannon is sitting on 15 hours of interviews with Epstein.

Video shows masked Border Patrol agent chasing woman back to her Louisiana home Jacelynn Guzman said she is a U.S.-born citizen. The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that it "determined the individual in question was not the target."

"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.

“I just kept repeating it — I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...”

She screamed “Leave me alone...”

Alina Habba is out as fake US Attorney.

But of course Kushner’s working on Gaza. He’s busy busy planning his developments once his buddy Netanyahu razes every last building and genocides every last Palestinian.

That Trump didn’t answer ; “ I will ensure that decisions made about media mergers are done in full compliance with all ethical and trade laws and will stand up to scrutiny.” Tells you Trump doesn’t give a shit about ethics or laws. It’s enrichment for his family that matters to him

Kush is working on trying to turn Gaza into Gaz Vegas 🤡

Q: If Paramount is supported by Jared Kushner, would that impact your decision?

TRUMP: If Paramount is? I don't know. I've never spoken with him about that. He's really trying to work on Gaza.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that every cruel, bigoted policy that comes from this administration is based on a reaction to fear.

To be a war crime, said crime has to be during a war.

The only war POTUS is fighting is releasing those Epstein Files.

The argument that all Agencies serve the President is extremely dangerous. These Agencies are meant to serve and benefit the citizens and act as a potential buffer against the totalitarian tendencies of any one individual

Not to sidetrack my own thread, but based on replies so far, the threat to the republic posed by SCOTUS may, just possibly, be the same as the danger from usage of "gig is up" instead of the original "jig is up." (Smiles, nods, backs away slowly...) www.visualthesaurus.com/cm/ll/whats-...

The gig, as they say, is up.

Interesting that Administration opted for Habba to resign rather than going to the Supreme Court. Suggests strongly they know they would lose on merits. And that in turn casts a shadow over other cases, including most importantly the 4th Cir appeal in the dismissals of Comey and James.
