Epstein Files Reveal Prosecutors’ Announcement Dated Before His Death Newly released Epstein files include a draft statement attributed to federal prosecutors that is dated the day before Jeffrey Epstein was found dead. The draft appears among at least 23 documents in t...

I feel like we're overlooking the biggest and most obvious Epstein scandal, which is that the President may have killed Epstein to silence him?

Congress can pore over millions of documents from a sex trafficking case but um, what about the Putinesque suspicious death in state custody

*Green card application in process and work permit, married to US citizen
*Lived in US for 20 years, no criminal record
*In detention for five months with no charge, despite judge approving release
*He disputes ICE claim that he signed forms agreeing to deportation

The core difference between a detention center and a concentration camp is whether the people being held there are being given adequate space and care and resources.

Dilley - a holding pen *for children*, to be clear - is run like a concentration camp.

In this guy's defense when you're matching an ambassador with a ruling clique you look for things they share in common

NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

the modern equivalent of the ford pinto. they should be pulled off the road.

This is a dumb carve-out and it shows how Schumer thinks. Everyone knows the GOP will not pass restrictions on ICE. Rather than paint a stark contrast, Schumer thinks there's more value in claiming middle ground.

Alas, murders in the street force people to take sides. No one is impressed Chuck

most concrete evidence yet provided that BJG is a right wing op

Yes. This is the best way to understand the context of virtually everything in global politics: selfish mega-billionaires are convincing each other they're powerful enough to achieve escape velocity from society. They aim to pacify us with propaganda until they can replace us with robots

No, Darling's right, and it has nothing to do with inequality.

Imagine n economy where people enter the workforce at 20 year old at $50K/year, get a $10K raise every 10 years, retire at age 70 at $90K/year. Full equality, zero inflation - but over a lifetime, everyone sees a 80% jump in income.

4) While healthier Americans would consume less healthcare, $3T/year is a ridiculous number to extrapolate from that. ALL US health care expenses last year totaled $5.3T; Medicare/Medicaid was ~$2T.

Also: what's going to make Americans healthier, exactly? Measles and higher beef/dairy consumption?

3) The debt exists because Wall Street wants it to exist. Low government revenue means investors pay less taxes and invest more. More T-bills means portfolio investors can buy more moonshots and maintain a low risk profile. Historically under the GOP rising revenue leads to tax cuts, not lower debt

This is bullshit and a fine example why you shouldn't listen to unqualified bozos speaking out of their ass. Two sentences, several errors:

1) Having people work a year earlier means less education, which lowers their taxable income
2) For most Americans, circumstances dictate when they retire

lol Fake Scalzi looks like he'd sell me some bad molly

This kind of exposes the lie behind the whole "cancelling" thing, right?

Being big pals with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker is um, a VERY bad look! If you think getting fired for that is an unfair "cancellation"...what does that say about your moral standards?

Right. The MN protests make an impact precisely because they're recognizably normies doing public nonviolence. Black block in masks would get anonymously pummeled and the press would shrug and both-sides it.

This isn't a Klan march circa 2017. The fascists have power, the game has changed

when this shit happens in Football Manager I ragequit and go for a walk

Russian Bots are stealing another election

Trump didn't pivot even a little bit. He wanted to change the narrative and knew he could rope-a-dope the press for a news cycle or two. So he pushed an embarrassing tiny weirdo into early retirement, said something vaguely conciliatory one time in front of a camera. Otherwise he changed nothing

The press gets rope-a-doped by Trump every time. He said "we need to turn the temperature down" ONE time and the press spent three straight days saying "WHEW! Glad that's over! Time to cover worthless legislative pfaff!"

Except IT'S NOT OVER. 3000+ Fed thugs are still terrorizing the streets of MN

This is exactly why Schumer and Jeffries are blowing the Dems’ one
chance for true leverage: this administration gives zero fucks if something is illegal. It’s adopted the oligarch playbook of do illegal shit, then let it get tied up in courts for years to come after the damage is already done.

if the AI bubble goes horribly sideways over the next three years they’ll be stapled to each other in ignominity forever IMHO

This, but I'd go further. Scalps are worthless. Let them sit there, the same people who called murder victims terrorists, and continue being the face of the Trump project.

The one important thing is to prevent Trump from using force to subvert or overturn elections. That's your yardstick

People keep pointing out that this is hypocritical, but is it? Fascists don't believe in universal rights. They don't want YOU to carry guns - you can't even have one passively in your possession without forfeiting your right to live. But rest assured, THEY can carry loaded guns anywhere at any time

The problem with any such compromise is that the Trump administration clearly doesn't give a shit what the law says when it constrains them and this SCOTUS will giddily pretend it's not happening. Trump will sign this into law and immediately forget it exists.

No more money for ICE, period

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

This can't be "reformed"

The thief of tens of millions of dollars in crypto from the United States' stash of seized crypto assets is allegedly the son of the owner of a company that contracts with the US Marshals to manage said seized crypto.

My LORD if the Senate Dems cave into funding ICE after this Schumer should be shot straight into the sun. No more money for death squad training school.
