Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

A small-town Kansas mayor is in trouble for voting illegally as a noncitizenβ€”but the town of Coldwater, almost entirely Republican, is rallying around their mayor, who voted for Donald Trump in the last three elections and has lived in the town since he was a teenager. trib.al/K1au5Ny

A thing that annoys me about the Axios newsletter is that the tone is consistently β€œI am one of the top experts on this thing I learned about five minutes ago.” Also that they have 280 sources in the White House but their only source on the left is Rep. Capitulate Middle (D).

Hillary saying β€œmy husband and Barack Obama deported more people” really isn’t good messaging and a prime example of why she needs to just step away.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

Moo Thru | Ice Cream Shop - Northern VA At Moo Thru, we sell real ice cream from real dairy farmers. With various VA locations, we happily serve customers throughout Northern VA & Washington, DC Metro region.

If you drive down from DC or Dulles, two recommendations.

1) Make sure to stop at the Moo-Thru in Remington (where Route 29 and Route 28 meet).

I don't take Amtrak much because, well, it's Amtrak. And the Crescent line to DC isn't exactly the Acela. But the train station is very close to where the event is going to be, so it's convenient if you're coming from DC and don't want to bother with a car.

The C’ville airport is nice because its really small and quick to get through. But there are fewer flights and it can be more expensive. I usually fly in and out through Richmondβ€”a good sized drive but not quite as long as Dulles.

That's not the way it works. Again, it's a political move with midterms not based on any sort of financial or legal reality.

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
Β 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.

Not one dime for this cruelty.

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.

On the detention centers and their conditions, and hell on the conditions of the median American prison, I do want to point out that it says no cruel and unusual punishments, and one does not make it less cruel by making it usual

On July 27, 1974, the House Judiciary Committee approved three articles of impeachment against Nixon which all were approved on bipartisan votes.

🎯Obstructing justice & mounting a cover-up
🎯Defying congressional subpoenas
🎯Interfering with and misusing the FBI/DOJ

Trump is outdoing Nixon by far.

This one clip is now dark satire for Russians, and a reminder of how far Putin’s promises have fallen, and why he wants censorship: to shrink the audience for his failure.

Elon Musk: For a country to survive, there has to be a common culture.

Nobody dies to defend a β€œmulticultural economic zone”!

American culture, with its English-Scotts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for. 

Some may not realize it, but that’s why people come here.

Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

How about trying pro-immigrant? Stand with the Statue of Liberty. To be a magnet for the skilled and striving, which benefits the US as a whole.

Could a party please represent the majority of Americans who want immigration maintained or increased, not only cater to the 30% that want it decreased?

Massie: "The DOJ wants to say they're done w/ this Epstein document production. The problem is they've taken down documents before we were able to go over & look at unredacted versions.
