UN panel says Epstein abuses may constitute ‘crimes against humanity’ Experts say newly released documents show the need for an independent investigation into Epstein's sex-trafficking ring.

Trump: It’s a hoax. We should move on.

Trump’s DOJ: There’s nothing to investigate.

The UN: The revelations suggest a global criminal enterprise…a number of the abuses meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity.

In Seattle, ICE goons escort a shackled & hooded man on to this GlobalX jet for transport south to Texas 👀

The chorus goes:

"Defendant has not made any further production, but today made a representation that a further production is forthcoming to begin tonight, and he expects it will be complete by the close of business on Thursday."

The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

No ICE facility coming to Lebanon. Federal office walks back confirmation of purchase in Wilson County On Monday, a spokesperson with ICE was adamant about not confirming the Lebanon Facility. Less than 24 hours later, another ICE spokesperson confirmed the purchase.

ICE is now walking back their previous confirmation that they had bought a warehouse in Lebanon, TN. The earlier confirmation was not “approved,” they said.

Between fluffed up economic reports, typos in economic reports, and now botched public statements, ICE keeps swinging and missing.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

Counterpoint:

Don’t upload your medical records to any LLM.

That’s fucking insane.

Sure, JD, your regime's deep unpopularity is the fault of the polling methodology, not because of the regime's solicitation of foreign bribes, murder on the high seas, cover-up of Epstein's child rape ring and masked thugs executing Americans in our streets.

Mail-Order Abortion Pill Ban Passes Mississippi House A mail-order abortion pill ban passed the Mississippi House, defining it as felony drug trafficking that would carry one to 10 year prison sentences for providers.

NEW: Providers who mail abortion pills to Mississippi could soon be prosecuted as felony drug traffickers under an amendment Mississippi House Republicans added to a drug trafficking bill at the last minute.

The amended bill passed amid loud dissent from outraged Democrats.

Commission Chair Rep. Andrea Romero (D-Santa Fe) “said the commission has already heard from survivors who were abused at Epstein’s Zorro ranch near Stanley in Santa Fe County, which sold in 2023.”

The family of Texas Republican Donald Huffines bought the ranch for $13.4 million:

Mr. Sim lived in the US for 43 years. He was ordered deported 20 years ago after a larceny conviction. Because Cambodia wasn’t accepting deportations, he was allowed to stay on an order of supervision.

After 20 years, he was suddenly arrested at an ICE check-in and sent to detention, where he died.

🚨 Breaking news in Epstein Case 🚨 The New Mexico Legislature has passed HR1 to convene a Truth Commission and investigate Epstein’s crimes in NM, including at Zorro Ranch—led by State Reps Andrea Romero and Marianna Anaya.

Latest from @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social: “To unnecessarily deport a sick baby and his entire family is heinous. My staff and I are in contact with Juan’s family. We are laser-focused on tracking them down.”

Nazi references aside, the SAVE Act DOES NOT ACTUALLY ALLOW REAL ID TO SERVE AS AN ACCEPTABLE ID FORM. I'm so fucking tired .

This bill includes criminal penalties and a bounty provision. It also authorizes the state DMV to strip trans people off their current drivers licenses.

Sollenberger has pushed false stories about the Epstein files before - easily falsifiable ones. The Epstein files give us an unprecedented chance to save US democracy, but they're also full of unvetted claims, in lawsuits and tips. Please, please stick to evidence and primary sources. 2/

If this spread holds among *white* voters, the GOP is in big trouble come Nov. Watch for Trump to escalate his threats upon our elections as his party faces a rout. And remember: the bigger the defeat, the harder it will be for him to allege that widespread fraud affected a close electoral outcome.

Trump’s Election Move Has Begun A national bid for voter-roll control.

"As diversionary battles flare across the national political landscape—immigration raids, diplomatic missteps, cascading legal losses, and Epstein fallout—one operation stands apart. Donald Trump is making his move where it matters most: elections."

Can we ask why WaPo left out everything in her past that made headlines in 2023?
