US CORPORATE EXECUTIVES ARE HEAVILY SELLING THEIR OWN STOCKS: THE INSIDER SELL-TO-BUY RATIO JUMPED TO 4.8 IN JANUARY, THE SECOND-HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE 2020 β€” A STRONG SIGNAL THAT TOP MANAGEMENT IS LOCKING IN GAINS AND TURNING CAUTIOUS ON VALUATIONS.

I feel like it should probably be a bigger story that the justice department just released potentially dozens of unredacted CSAM photos with the faces of the victims visible

A whistleblower has alleged inappropriate conduct by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. It is so highly classified that it hasn’t been shared with Congress. Gabbard has been busy blocking its release. The national security concerns go all the way to the White House. #AnotherCoverup.

I have been warning for months that he is going to try to steal the election. That is why my law firm is litigating 80 voting cases with more on the way.

It is also why I tell people to sign up for Democracy Docket to stay imformed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Exclusive | Epstein Files Release Exposes Names of at Least 43 Victims, WSJ Review Finds The Justice Department was required to redact all victims’ names prior to releasing the files.

β€œA review of 47 victims’ full names on Sunday found that 43 of them were left unredacted in files that were made public by the government on Friday, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. Several women’s full names appeared more than 100 times in the files. β€œ

'Reminds me of Anne Frank': Jewish seniors are offering to hide their Haitian caregivers as Trump's TPS end looms - Jewish Telegraphic Agency The end of Temporary Protected Status has Holocaust survivors offering to hide Haitian staffers, according to the CEO of a senior-living center in Florida.

For those objecting to comparisons between Germany then & the U.S. now:

β€œAbout 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors.Β Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments.”

Opinion | This Is Not a Drill

"A president who doesn’t care about the law, who commands an obedient Congress and is supported by a radicalized base of tens of millions of people who believe his lies, represents a threat to the next election. I fear that millions of citizens are still too complacent."

Abu Dhabi poured a secret $500 million into Trump’s company.

Then Abu Dhabi got the highest end AI chips that it had coveted (which could then go to China).

& the Trumps took steps to try to cover it up.

This should rank among the greatest US scandals ever

What we found is bleak. Attorneys told us they’re struggling to get information in to or out of ICE and Customs and Border Protection facilities, which are holding nearly 69,000 people this month. And detainees often are forced to choose between remaining in crowded, squalid conditions or leaving the country immediately.

Judges in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles have ordered the government to facilitate attorney-client communications at Homeland Security buildings. But attorneys say that doesn’t always happen. Even if detainees get the option, some worry they’ll be punished if they take it.

Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying.

I just drove past an abandoned car, with the doors open. (wrong side of highway, others had already stopped.)
This is Minnesota. No one for any reason intentionally leaves their car on the side of the road w/the doors open in January

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.

How is this not supposed to be a β€œright wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

The arrest of Don Lemon and another journalist and the raid on Fulton County elections office really have to be seen first and foremost as a top-down and nakedly political (i.e. directed at Democrats only ) assault on first amendment protections

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti: 

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man.”

I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department.

I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty.

Impeach and remove Trumpβ€”now.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. 

The thugs wrestled him to the ground.  They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times.  They murdered him.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."
