‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.

Who could have foreseen that the president who lies about literally everything, no matter how large or small, would lie about his intentions for war? I for one am as shocked as when mommy disappeared behind her hands only to reappear moments later

AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America?

ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed

AYMAN: Where?

LUNA: Are you serious right now?

AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation

Incarcerated workers are paid so little, it can take thousands of hours to afford filing fees

"I can only hope that the next time indigent prisoners facing this issue raise nearly $1,000 each just for the opportunity to knock on this Court’s door, my colleagues will choose to open it" heartbreaking

This looks like summaries of FBI interviews with victims and witnesses. One witness said she knew one girl was underage because she was asked to help her with SAT prep. (The SAT is a test high schoolers take.) 👀⚖️♀️ #doj #epstein #files www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

I think the bigger security risk is the gestapo she runs that murders people for standing in the street and kidnaps children to put them in concentration camps. But sure, if the shoe thing gets her shitcanned, do what you gotta do.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

Trump DOJ’s own goals could stymie its efforts to undermine midterms “The quantity of litigation isn't all that frightening when the quality is crap. And the quality is crap," Prof. Levitt said.

NEW: Among other steps that President Donald Trump will take to undermine a fair election this fall, he’ll likely use the U.S. Department of Justice to bring a flood of litigation aiming to challenge Democratic wins and shape the rules in the GOP’s favor. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

They marked her mail undeliverable and returned it to the sender

They blocked her & her tenants from receiving doctor’s bills, medications, credit card statements, car titles, property tax statements, & more

A not bad strategy is to just peter out during one of his rambles until the chamber is half empty. When you talk to the press just be like "I got really bored, he was always stupid but tonight he was super boring. Dementia maybe?" He'd be mad. Of course instead they're just kinda sittin' there.

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope"

(John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)
