This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the β€œbaby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice β€” not with their perpetrators.

So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

For those of you keeping score at home, the actual cut to the Post newsroom was 45%, not the widely reported one third. Remaining journalists are a bit over 400, down from around 1100 four years ago and 580 when Bezos bought the place.

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: bacon and eggs, big styrofoam cup of Folgers, then over to the head to snort some cocaine off the toilet seat. But now the woke mob wants to take all of that away.

White House, RFK Jr. shake up health leadership after controversies Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s health department is undergoing a major leadership overhaul.

Too little too late.

Kennedy said on a RW podcast that he wasn't afraid of germs b/c he snorted cocaine off a toilet seat. In any other administration he would be fired. But since this a regime, not an administration, it's just another day that ends in Y.

Horrific conditions discovered as lawmaker makes unannounced drop-in at ICE facility A Democrat revealed on Thursday that he witnessed horrific conditions for immigrants detained at a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding facility. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) posted on X that...

"Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets."

Why isn’t every politician, leader, prosecutor, and news channels focused on this. The President is accused with significant proof of killing and raping minors.

Utah GOP push to repeal anti-gerrymander law falters amid fraud allegations tied to firm backed by Trump Jr. As a result of the growing controversy, the GOP ended its partnership with Patriot Grassroots.

NEW: Utah officials found thousands of potentially invalid and fraudulent signatures in the GOP’s petition to repeal the state’s voter-approved anti-gerrymandering law.

With the deadline looming and tens of thousands of signatures still needed, the repeal drive seems unlikely to be successful.

My colleague got into Trump's sprawling family detention camp, which is full of toddlers, kids, & teens.

- Kids have cut themselves or talked about suicide

-There's worms & mold in food

-300 kids have been held for 30+ days, far longer court settlement allows
