Why didn’t Dems put Trump in jail over the Epstein stuff? Because Alex Acosta and Alan Dershowitz got Epstein a deal that came with a non-prosecution agreement for Epstein’s clients and coconspirators. Then trump rewarded Acosta with a job as Labor Secretary.

β€œA U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing.

Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle.

Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

WATCH: β€œI WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.”

ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal.

Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? β€” Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie.

People still do not grasp that the constitutional right to due process is afforded anyone inside the U.S. REGARDLESS of status. Even if you’re just visiting here.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

This is one of those points where the complete institutional failure of the US media really becomes apparent. It's a ridiculous threat because the US doesn't import any Russian oil, obviously, but neither the journalist conducting the interview or other media outlet will point that out.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin attorney general sues in attempt to block Elon Musk from handing out $1 million to voters.

One of my favorite movies. Please excuse the overused term, but I love how meta it is - we’re watching the movie he wrote. I think the deus ex machina ending Kaufman originally had worked slightly better: instead of alligators, it was the swamp ape - referenced in the movie and The Orchid Thief.

Last week I did a #Screenwriting #Scriptsky thread about STORY. Implicit in the thread was that protagonists should be active in pursuit of their want. But I don’t think that’s a hard and fast rule, so I wanted to do one about ACTIVE and PASSIVE PROTAGONISTS…

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

THIS IS INSANE:

A thread πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

Yesterday, the acting commissioner of the Social Secrity Administration, Lelnd Dudek, notified Rep. George Latmier that he rejected his and Rep. Lawler's bipartisan effort to keep the only Social Security hearing office in the Hudson Valley open.

Thanks to all the folks who reposted my last #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread. Very much appreciated! I thought I’d do another one about STORY. This one takes what I learned on The Office (and a bunch of other shows I’ve worked on) and combines it with how we break story on Big City Greens…

You have $100 in your checking account.

One day, you check your balance and it's $60. You haven't made any withdrawals.

You call the bank. They say $40 was taken as part of their "waste, fraud and abuse" program.

Would you be ok with it?

Coz it's happening to your social security and Medicaid.

Journalists who frame what's happening in Washington as Republicans vs. Democrats instead of fascism vs. democracy are missing the most important story of their lives.

β€œIt’s a sad spectacle to see a law firm …rendering itself into an instrument for lawlessness. It’s also a cautionary example of how lawyers should not conduct themselves as the Trump regime proceeds with its effort to replace the nation’s justice system with one governed by cronyism and corruption.”

When I worked on The Office, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg β€œAre we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a little thread on them…

Trump will delay some auto tariffs after Detroit Three push President Donald Trump agreed to delay tariffs for one month on some vehicles built in North America after a call with the CEOs of General Motors and Ford and the chair of Stellantis, the White House said Wednesday.

What an incredibly incompetent clown. Maybe he should have thought about the (patently obvious) effect of tariffs on the auto industry *before* imposing them?

He’s like a monkey on a keyboard.
