4 times.

Trump has ordered the Treasury to send him $10 billion in cash & $10 billion for a slush fund (on top of the $200 million in cash stolen from Venezuela for another slush fund), on top of $10+ billion gotten from foreign governments in exchange for favors, but do go on about not taking a salary ...

Great little thread they've got going here.

Epstein had a problem. He solved it. Aggressively.

I did learn something more though from this.

If you were wealth adjacent or prominent you got to have a funeral.

If you were a poor kid that no one would miss. You got put wherever.

Georgia lawmakers fight GOP voter suppression efforts with new state voting rights act The Georgia VRA faces an uphill battle in the General Assembly, where Republicans have a commanding control of both the House and Senate.

NEW: Democratic state lawmakers introduced a state-level voting rights act in Georgia, which seeks to protect the voting rights of Georgia’s Black voters whose right to vote has been under attack by the state’s Republican majority in recent years. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Large banner of Trump unfurled at Justice Department headquarters The DOJ has traditionally operated with a degree of separation from the White House to prevent the department's powers from being abused for political purposes.

Trump has turned the Department of Justice into his own personal vendetta machine. And Pam Bondi has been happy to go along for the ride.

We're witnessing the most egregious politicization of the DOJ in recent memory — and I lived through the Nixon years. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Al Capone was not jailed for being a mobster. He was jailed for tax evasion.

Donald Trump has done that his entire life. When Fred Trump died, Donald devalued the family assets to avoid taxes. His sister lost her job as a federal judge over that fraud.

If only we still had a functional DOJ.

Federal judge accuses Trump administration of 'terror' against immigrants in scathing ruling A federal judge has accused the Trump administration of terrorizing immigrants and recklessly violating the law in its efforts to deport millions of people living in the country illegally.

A tweet from Adam Kinzinger warning about scam texts referencing a “Trump tariff check.” The image shows a screenshot of a text message asking to confirm details before sending a “Trump check,” with Kinzinger pictured speaking in a video thumbnail below.

There is no check. Just like there is no healthcare plan. It’s all to bilk vulnerable people out of money and to get them to surrender their benefits.

This is a crime.

If you read the Board of Peace charter, you understand it has nothing to do with the American government; it's a private entity Trump created for his own enrichment.

This is an impeachable offense, and if this country were not broken he would be gone by tomorrow.

The man is walking, talking…shit.

JD Vance has changed his name, his look, his religion, his positions many issues and people, but he won’t ever be able to change the fact that he’s a smug, insufferable, unlikable ass.

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

Collins always has an excuse to vote against free and fair elections. It is the one issue on which she reliably proves she is in lockstep with the rest of her party. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

This is catching on. There’s nothing Trump hates more than being ignored.

TEXAS — man with two guns, openly brandishing one, arrested for harassing protesting kids.

14 million households now owe past due utility bills. Trump didn’t create an energy boom - he created an affordability crisis that leaves families choosing between heat and hunger. This isn’t leadership - it’s neglect. #TrumpAffordabilityChaos

AXIOS: “The Trump administration is closer to a major war in the Middle East than most Americans realize. It could begin very soon.”

Is Iran in the Epstein files?

Missouri volunteers say they were harassed by paid GOP canvassers. It’s likely the same group accused of forging signatures in Utah “They were like, ‘Actually, no. We’re here to stop you from getting signatures.’”

New reporting by Democracy Docket suggests that Patriot Grassroots’ canvassers also crossed a line in Missouri, where volunteers gathering signatures to put a GOP-backed gerrymander to a statewide vote said they were harassed by out-of-state paid agitators.

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over.

I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

Renee Good memorial site in south Minneapolis doused in gasoline Damage from a burning pile of wood was minimal but police are investigating.

Just awful. People (like Ryan mentioned in the article, who is living out of his van) have been staying awake all night for weeks keeping watch over the memorial for this exact reason.

It would simply never happen.

CBS obeys in advance And turns a Texas Democrat into a First Amendment martyr.

"FCC Chair Brendan Carr's theory is that giving airtime to Talarico and not his rivals violates the Federal Communications Act’s Equal Time Rule. But that’s not what the law says … at all."

ICE Issued Confident Announcements About Warehouse Purchases in Two States. Neither Was True. As the beleaguered agency rushes to open detention facilities across the country, it can't seem to get its own announcements right.

Much more here on ICE reversing course (and retracting their initial statements) on two proposed Trump prison camps, from the indispensible team at Project Salt Box:

New Mexico is pursuing long-overdue answers by investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch through a new subcommittee that was just created by the New Mexico House.

I’ve got the details, including why the state’s AG’s Office stopped investigating Epstein back in 2019.

🚨 MAJOR BOMBSHELL: Ted Lieu says the full, unreleased Epstein files show Donald Trump R*PING children.

That’s what’s being hidden.
That’s why the files stay sealed.
That’s why there are no arrests.

Release everything. Let the truth come out. Or RESIGN!

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

There are 28 Republican members on the House Oversight Committee. None of them showed up today for Les Wexner’s deposition on Epstein.

Paul Blume @PaulBlume_FOX9 · 1h BREAKING NEWS: U.S. District Court Judge Laura Provinzino has just found a government atty in CIVIL CONTEMPT of COURT for violations of her orders in a habeas case. Attorney cited is Matthew Isihara, a JAG atty from Dept. of War assisting in local US Attorney office @FOX9 (1/) Paul Blume @PaulBlume_FOX9 · 1h Judge Provinzino had ordered a detained immigrant held by ICE in El Paso, TX be released in Minnesota with all of his identification papers.

Paul Blume @PaulBlume_FOX9 · 57m Judge said she is imposing CIVIL CONTEMPT "to force the government to comply with her court order" to immediately return immigrant's papers.

Blamed situation on case overload & significant understaffing in US Attorney's office. Says he has picked up nearly 130 habeas cases in just last month. @FOX9

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.
