From Twitter: David Oscar Markus & @domarkus X.com Dear @MuellerSheWrote : There is no such thing as work release in federal prison, so your reporting is false. All you had to do was ask any criminal law practitioner, and they would have explained this to you. I wish we had work release in federal prison — and I wish we treated people behind bars better than we do. How about you? I'm surprised to hear my progressive friends criticizing more humane prisons and Ghislaine's transfer to a safer facility, especially after she faced serious danger in Tallahassee. The outrage machine wants to turn a safer placement into a scandal. But it's still prison. And despite the soundbites, prison is a truly awful place.

My response on Twitter: Hello, Mr. Markus. Here is the BOP policy that says Out Custody is eligible for work details outside prison. Will you go on record that she will not be allowed outside despite her waiver? Also, who authorized the waiver, and in exchange for what? The BOP policy reads: ₽5100.08 9/12/2006 Chapter 2, Page 4 OUT CUSTODY. The second lowest custody level assigned to an inmate requiring the second lowest level of security and staff supervision. An inmate who has OUT custody may be assigned to less secure housing and may be eligible for work details outside the institution's secure perimeter with a minimum of two-hour intermittent staff supervision.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney - addressing me directly - says there’s no such thing as prisoner work details outside the facility in the federal prison system. Yes there are. I have receipts.

Sean Duffy: "Pete Buttigieg was running for president as opposed to doing his job and making sure that we got our air traffic control system modernized."

(Pete Buttigieg ran for president in 2020. He became transportation secretary in 2021.)

The moment he named his platform “Truth Social” we were headed this way.

It's so fucked up when you have to rely on other Countries to give you accurate data on your own Country because you can't trust your own Government.

of course the president’s BLS nominee is a jan 6er

I think this bastard would have tested my belief in nonviolence past destruction. He needs a good, hard, non-metaphorical ass kicking.

Des Moine, Iowa. Who is he?

Just leaving this here for no apparent reason.

Turek is running against Ernst, the Iowa Senator who said We r all going to die as a response to cuts to Medicaid/Medicare. #iowa

MAGA dickheads seem to be unable to process the word “no,” regardless of volume or repetition. No, you fucks, you’re not getting your Texas House quorum. No, you’re not getting your congressional supergerrymander. No, you won’t be allowed to fucking cheat just because it’s the only way you can win.

Texas House Democrats: What happens next is entirely up to Greg Abbott. After deliberation among our caucus, we have reached a consensus: Texas House Democrats refuse to give him a quorum to pass his racist maps that silence more than 2 million Black and Latino Texans...

God, it’s like living in a kingdom where the absolute worst people you went to high school with, in every sub-genre of student, is in charge.

The worst jocks, the worst nerds, the worst rich kids, the worst drama kids, the worst dropouts, the worst burnouts, the worst mean girls & bullies…

This is insane!

How many of you are sitting on piles of cash and don’t know it.

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

It’s amazing that Washington DC can achieve its lowest crime rate in 30 years when 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is experiencing its highest crime rate in history.

🎶 The crime rate whatever it is would not be an appropriate justification for commandeering local law enforcement which you can’t do outside of DC anyway so don’t engage with the premise doo do doo 🎶

Every time there's a school shooting we hear from the NRA, but it feels like they've been real quiet ever since tyranny has been taking over the US.

Like maybe we'll forget why we actually have those second amendment rights or something.

The only way out is through.

The only way through is together.

Identify this bastard and dox the living shit out of him.

This man needs some percussive therapy. I prescribe a full course of treatment with aluminum baseball bats.

We’re getting our Deborah Bix moments with his top aides already.

I just approved the deployment of California resources to Puerto Rico ahead of Tropical Storm Erin.

We’re glad to help coordinate life-saving response to Americans in harm’s way.

It's dog math.
