Jared Kushner is at diplomatic meetings.

He's not elected. Not confirmed. Not accountable.

WHO voted for him? The Senate didn't confirm him.

So why is he in these meetings?

FOREIGN POLICY IS NOT A FAMILY BUSINESS.

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

The Trump family has pocketed more than $4,000,000,000 from their crypto schemes—using the office of the President to line their own pockets.

That’s why I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act—we need to stop this grift in its tracks.

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.

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.

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.
