The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

Time to step down - go enjoy your freedom before spending your life behind bars

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Anne Applebaum on Trump's betrayal of Europe "They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen."

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

The Trump admin has shut down the CIA’s World Factbook, a country reference that for six decades has provided data on birth and death rates, major exports, and more. Long used by government officials and by researchers, educators, and journalists, the database was taken offline today.

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

Incredible — Elon: “Girls FTW!”

Then Ghislaine & Epstein tell him no more parties 😬

Still waiting for Rick Scott to be taken down by ICE

It is filthy and abominable for a President of the United States to respond approvingly to an attack on a member of Congress.

I will never become desensitized.

A void of humanity and values in our leadership does not benefit any ‘side’. It will ultimately harm all Conservatives and all Liberals.

Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Thank you police chief Bruley

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

I’m done voting for this turd. Someone please primary him.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Alabama uses Japanese American Internment era law to charge immigrants who don’t self-register Alabama is finding new ways to criminally charge undocumented immigrants

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder.

" Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..."

21 y/o activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough because it's dangerous to. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull.

This story is not getting enough attention.

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks:

- Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela
- ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota
- Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally
- Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

That awkward moment when your past foreign policy faceplants in real time.

Trump talking about giving each person in Greenland $100,000 in US taxpayer money is incredibly America First. And he keeps sending fundraising emails to his cult promising them $2,000 checks if they send him money. At this point you can only conclude they like being hustled.

JUST IN: Reps. Massie and Khanna say "DOJ cannot be trusted" to release all of the Epstein files, urge a federal judge to appoint an independent overseer to make it happen. khanna.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

I mean l’il Marco and JD Vance’s thirst for power and their chameleon like shifts didn’t help either

This Is What Happens When America Goes Mad Vote in Donald Trump, surround him with sycophants, expect an insane circus. The lawlessness and chaos was so knowable, alas.

Is it not clear that a muted response to Venezuela—a failure to push back by those with powerful platforms—will further convince Trump he can keep going & invade another country?

Did we not learn the pattern in 2016? “When you’re a star, they let you do it.”
