Pritzker: "An American president should be standing up, calling for calm. That's not what this president ever does. In fact, he wants the temperature to go up. Why? Because what he's looking for is an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, to bring actual troops into American cities."

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Screenshot of an X.com post by ‘WarMonitor’ claiming a 21-year-old in Santa Ana was permanently blinded in one eye after a DHS agent fired a ‘less-lethal’ round at close range. The embedded video thumbnail shows several officers in dark uniforms restraining or carrying a person in an outdoor plaza at night, with a ‘CIVIC CENTER PLAZA’ sign visible in the background.

Simply horrifying. The whole of DHS has got to be disbanded. We did just fine without them before.

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough bc it's dangerous to. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

Sanders: I am very worried that ICE is becoming a domestic army for Trump, and this goes way beyond the issue of immigration. It goes to the movement of this country toward authoritarianism and fear.

Mass resignations hit Justice Department's Civil Rights Division amid lack of action in Minneapolis, sources say At least six prosecutors, most of whom are supervisors in the Civil Rights Division's criminal section, will be leaving their jobs.

NEW: Mass resignations at the DoJ Civil Rights Division - including the Chief of the Criminal Section - over the administration’s refusal to investigate the murder of Renee Good. www.cbsnews.com/news/minneap...

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime.

Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

Public release of Epstein records puts Maxwell under fresh scrutiny amid her claims of innocence British socialite and onetime Jeffrey Epstein girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell is back in the spotlight with the public release of investigative records that led to her 2021 sex trafficking conviction.

Days after Ghislaine Maxwell asked a judge to immediately free her from a 20-year prison sentence, the public release of grand jury transcripts from her sex trafficking case returned the spotlight to victims whose allegations helped land her behind bars.

Phang: If that happened in January, how in the actual hell is Blanche now telling the American people that they suddenly discovered a million more documents?

GTFOH. As far back as January, the entirety of the Epstein files were transferred to Main Justice at DOJ…

UPDATE: CNN confirms that "the envelope [holding the Epstein-Nassar Note] was sent from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City [where Epstein was being held] to Nassar"—*and* got vetted by federal officials.

Which explains the Virginia postmark (where the FBI is).

#diehard

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"

“THIS IS A SEWER… A SCAM… Congress has been enriching itself for too dadgum long.”

We are highly critical of @RepTimBurchett but he & @repjayapal are right — Congress should be BANNED from trading stocks, as @unusualwhales calls out.

Make your reps & senators back this.

And there it is.

(I listened to the audio and watched the video myself, and yes, that is *exactly* what the biographer said in this University of Cambridge address.)
