Epstein survivor Haley Robson: Iโ€™m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. Theyโ€™re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if thatโ€™s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

Tell that to Chongly Scott Thao, the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, and Marimar Martinez, the woman shot five times by an ICE agent who then bragged about it in Chicago, Mr. Homan.

I honestly canโ€™t remember any prior AG being this overtly disrespectful in a Congressional hearing.

They really think theyโ€™re never going to be in the minority.

Maybe I memory holed it, but personal attacks on members of Congress during testimony just seems so out of bounds.

Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens โ€” NBC News About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were โ€œsortedโ€ at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

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

Yeah it is genuinely fucking scaring me the degree to which all our cultural output about nuclear war lately seems to present it as a Struggle That Humanity Will Emerge From Stronger. We honestly cannot allow that message to propagate in our fictions, because it *will* doom us. Nuclear War is notโ€ฆ

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

Bondi's performance was disgusting and Blanche is just Trump's errand boy. Incredible that Bondi said the cushy prison Maxwell is in is the same level as the one in Florida Blanche had her moved from.

Just found out if people from Ice quit in any way shape or form or are fired?

The agent has to pay back every shred of the bonus, pre-tax amount. Oh and you can't claim bankruptcy bc it's the government.

So 50k 'in your pocket' could be negative 30k to 50k.

Voter Passport The SAVE Act

The SAVE Act was never about election integrity or keeping elections fair. It is about building a paywall around the ballot and hoping weโ€™re too exhausted or too broke to participate.

The SAVE Act is meant to keep us home so they can steal an election.

Are you sure this is true? Bondi comes from a very wealthy Republican family in Florida. I often wonder if her parents are proud of her.
