EXCLUSIVE: I Have Ghislaine Maxwell's Security Score, Custody Level, Transfer Code, and Sex Offender Waiver I have reviewed an electronic file that includes some of the information Senator Whitehouse is demanding from the Bureau of Prisons.

NEW: In addition to her sex offender waiver, Ghislaine Maxwell has an β€œout” designation that would allow her to leave the facility for work assignments. Some work assignments for FPC Bryan inmates are at Texas A&M University which is just 6 miles away. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

Trump’s DC coup got the Epstein files out of the discussion. That’s how he works! Keep looking for that shiny coin and creating chaos to drive the news cycle and narrative.

He's right, they're completely different things - one was a direct assault on the city AND country and he not only welcomed it but initiated it

The other is a problem as old as the country itself. Crazy people doing crazy shit

As someone who cares deeply about law and order, this can't be said loud enough

There are issues, but overreacting with a National Guard deployment doesn't solve anything

Release the Epstein files.

I suspect the blue cities will crowdfund resources to move them out and open up space. Blue cities always bail out MAGA's bad decisions bc we actually care about lives more than ideology

Dr Phil can F right off. He's the one glorifying it. You can't say "it's the law, change it" to act like you don't agree and then turn it into a commercial production for profit

What a shill

This might be the all time best ride at Six Flags Great America (contenders being American Eagle and Raging Bull with that crazy steep drop)

The new stuff is cool, but you have to appreciate the classics for standing the test of time

We are at the point in this country where military personnel & law enforcement personnel & government officials need to say no to the tyrant. We are at the point in this country where Americans serving in government need to disobey his orders.

We’re well past that point.

In cost? No. In every other aspect that matters? Absolutely it does.

Sorry you had a bad experience, but many people enjoy their F-150 Lightning and wouldn't give it up, which is why they're so hard to get used

This is the benefit of being a large company with over a century of manufacturing experience

They can actually deliver a quality product from a new production line. Unlike Tesla or Rivian, with the gaps, bad paint jobs, missing/faulty parts and no service network to fix em

No, he didn't. He did innovate the "moving" assembly line, but the assembly line was already a thing

The big change was paying workers more bc most didn't want the job, calling it "monotonous", etc. But those increased wages caused them to buy the vehicles, driving costs lower via volume

The Model T didn't change the world on its own. The assembly line made them accessible to everyone. 122 years later, Ford isn't just making another vehicle. We're reinventing how vehicles are assembled. Learn more here: www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articl...

Trump’s Unforgivable Sin Voters have proved willing to tolerate corruption, but there’s one thing they won’t ignore.

"Americans already understood Trump to be corrupt, and proved themselves willing to tolerate that. But now they are coming to believe that he is inept. In American politics, that is an unforgivable sin."

16 people cited after unlawful assembly declared during downtown LA protest Friday The demonstration began earlier Friday with supporters demanding the release of an ICU nurse and community activist who was taken into federal custody in San Pedro.

Gonna try this again with a bit less anger, lol. It is disappointing to see a major media outlet reproducing police statements about what happened on Friday without doing a shred of due diligence to verify those claims.

The 2 people transported were not β€œpretending to be media,” they *were* media
