On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

This is just unconscionable man

CEO Marc Benioff's ICE jokes stir outrage in a pivotal time for Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff's ICE jokes at a Salesforce event stirred employee backlash, adding to company challenges like stock decline.

Don't have a gift link, but hoo boy... somma these tech guys have brain rot as bad as RFK JR.

Mark Benioff made jokes about ICE in his company-wide speech, and they did not go over very well. This after he urged Trump to send troops to San Francisco.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

In December 2016, Jeffrey Epstein invited Bill Gates to visit his island—and promised that incoming Trump administration officials would be there.

Epstein emailed: “come to visit the island. new adminstration people visiting.” 👀👀👀

Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

It is incredibly difficult to find a wrong way to criticize Jeffrey Epstein, but hot damn, Fox News hosts managed to find one.

You really really REALLY have to read the whole thing.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees. The government suggests — with minimal explanation and even less evidence — that doing so would result in "chaos." The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights. 14 At this preliminary stage, Plaintiffs have made a clear showing of likelihood of success on their Fifth Amendment claim.

BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.

"It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

It's always the dumbest and ugliest white guys. Always.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Secretary of Health and Human Services for the United States.

On Jeffrey Epstein's 62nd birthday in 2015, Kathy Ruemmler, a former Obama White House counsel, emailed to wish him well, writing, "I hope you enjoy the day with your one true love. :-)" https://cnn.it/4rQ67ra

The American Passport Is Losing Its Power As the Trump Administration makes it more difficult for people to visit the US, other nations are starting to respond in kind.

Yet another way Trump is hurting our standing in the world, in addition to costing us billions in tourism dollars by shutting out visitors, is by crushing the power of the American passport and making it harder for his own citizens to travel. My latest: www.cntraveler.com/story/the-am...

john fetterman wants you to believe the 'sexism' problem is calling Kristie Noem a (very tame) name instead of how pregnant immigrant women in minneapolis cant go to the hospital or get prenatal care bc they're too afraid of being kidnapped & brutalized by ICE

Hegseth's unconstitutional retaliation against Sen. Kelly was so brazen that an exasperated federal judge used more than a dozen exclamation points!

Highlights from the ruling: "Horsefeathers!" and "Please!"

"That is a troubling development in a free country!" buff.ly/YY60KWM

Jeffrey Epstein Advised an Elon Musk Associate on Taking Tesla Private The financier recommended adding Margaret Thatcher to Tesla’s board, even though she had been dead for five years.

In 2018, after Musk infamously claimed that he had the funding to take Tesla private, his PR consultant went to Jeffrey Epstein for help convincing the Saudis to put up the cash he didn't actually have. Epstein also strategized on press coverage of Musk and recommended names for Tesla's board.

Trump tries and fails to extort Canada It's Bridgegate 2.0, only much dumber.

‘No Reason He Should Have Died’: Alex Pretti’s Parents Open Up

Alex Pretti's parents keep a box crammed with 200 letters and cards that have poured into their Denver home since their son was shot and killed by immigration agents.

"He's my first born," Susan Pretti said. "He's the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day."

James Van Der Beek, who has been battling cancer, has died.

He was 48.

Per TMZ.

Building your career based on your connections to a pedophile deserves scrutiny no matter your gender.

Kathy Ruemmler going from writing Jeffrey Epstein "I ain't no affirmative action" to characterizing critics of that correspondence as a "despicable" attack on a "female professional" has got to be one of the all-timer "Where it started/how it's going" moments.

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
