Howard Lutnick continued his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking minors. Then, Lutnick lied about it. Why is he still in our government?

He should be held accountable.

Wondering if any republicans in Congress who flipped out when Clinton and Lynch ran into each other, or wouldn’t shut up about Jack Smith “conspiring” with Biden, would have anything to say about this shit.

Arresting a former prince sends a message. And if a former president can testify on Capitol Hill, there’s no reason the current one can’t too—unless this is all about protecting Donald Trump. Insist that your representatives in Congress make that happen. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Stacy Bradley voted for President Trump because of his border policies, and she likes that he has restored “law and order.” But she is unsettled by one aspect of his immigration agenda. Last month, the federal government bought a warehouse next to her cheerleading gym in Surprise, Ariz., which the administration plans to convert into a detention center for up to 1,500 immigrants. Ms. Bradley, the co-owner of Woodlands Elite Cheer, said she worried that a detainee could escape, or that protests could break out. The children who train at her gym are as young as 3 and could see “people in shackles” next door, she said.

“my children might see the children I voted to put in shackles, how shall they grow up”

“Illiberal governments tend to live or die by their ability to sustain corruption. They rely for support on a network of oligarchs, who in turn are tied to the administration’s success. It happened in Hungary, Turkey, Russia and increasingly, it is happening here.”

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

There are concentration camps in the USA. People are being disappeared. One facility has 3,500 people, most of them children.

Now, what are we going to do about it?!

FBI will not provide the BCA access to evidence gathered from Pretti shooting, BCA says Minnesota criminal investigators have again been denied access to evidence and other materials collected by federal authorities after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, state officials said Monday.

Wow.

gotta do investigations into DHS “waste, fraud and abuse” as pretext for killing the agency

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Brand new polling from Data for Progress, shared first with Strength In Numbers, shows voters back Dems in the DHS shutdown over ICE — and overwhelmingly favor key reforms such as preventing mask-wearing (+23) and requiring judicial warrants for arrests (+34): www.gelliottmorris.com/p/democrats-...

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

Voting: A Right, Not A Privilege, For Now Republicans want to change that with the SAVE Act

7-Year-Old Migrant Girl Dies Of Dehydration And Shock In U.S. Border Patrol Custody The girl's death underscores the crisis precipitated by large groups of families seeking asylum where there are inadequate facilities to detain them.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

“8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

Blumenthal on administrative warrants: "This is not a warrant. It's a permission slip. It's a green light from another ICE agent to go bash down a door, smash into a home, detain and arrest someone without a judge finding probable cause."

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Tina Smith lays it plain.

Bondi keeps saying "we're making America safe again", "we're getting the criminal illegal aliens out" but it's very important to note that a full 40% of people detained by ICE have no CRIMINAL conviction whatsoever.

It's jarring to see how much money is going to ICE instead of education, healthcare, public transportation, international aid, green energy infrastructure, and the arts, but I guess that's the point.

What this man is describing would seem to constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Other governments could and should contest the abuses he’s describing the U.S. government committing against migrants.
