Epstein’s Girlfriend Married a Woman, Showing How He Gamed Immigration The sex offender used student visas, English language courses and sham marriages to make sure women in his orbit stayed where he wanted them.

Karyna Shuliak married a woman named Jennifer, who had been in a relationship with Kimbal Musk after Jeffrey Epstein connected them.

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

This made me ugly cry 😭

I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another.
But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty 😔

Oh...

Is this enough for all of you to hold your ground? Abolish ice!!!!

Shouldn’t Senate Dems introduce legislation providing full funding TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, etc.—and no new funding for ICE and CBP?

Seems like pretty good ground to fight on.

Offer to come back and pass it Tuesday.

C’mon, Chuck. You’re fighting to “rein in” ICE? DEFUND ICE.

Gone…abolish….defund….disappear. All synonyms for what needs to happen to this agency. I am a taxpayer who is asking for my dollars to be spent elsewhere.

Senator Mark Kelly at MSC: “A form of PTSD is what we’re getting from our former friends.”

Hegseth to US military: if you get into MIT, we won't let you attend because of the risk that you will be exposed to ideas hostile to MAGA when you study there.

The Resistance Gains Momentum Trump had a bad week.

Yesterday was "a moderately frabjous day" for the resistance. From a victory for the intrepid residents of Minneapolis, to Senate Democrats hanging tough, to Judge Leon's decision slapping down Pete Hegseth, to the Epstein coverup under increased assault. Onward!

“She overheard one immigration officer tell another that if she had been 10 years old, they would have been able to keep her separated from her mom.”

How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention A 9-year-old shares her story of being held at the nation’s only operating detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

I met Maria Antonia inside Dilley in mid-Jan where she had been detained for four months. She told me she was on her way to Disney World when immigration agents intercepted and interrogated her in the airport and sent her and her mom to detention www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

A perfect capture. This take is reflected in pretty much all the European reporting. In the American reporting: gibberish and delusions.

If you’re tracking the warehouse developments, @projectsaltbox.bsky.social is a must-follow. Doing great work!

ICE Gains Fast-Track Access to Private Prison Giant as It Plans to Nearly Double Detention Capacity Navy contract allows immigration agency to bypass normal bidding and hire one of its largest detention operators directly as it plans to add 92,000 beds by November

🚨ICE just got access to one of its biggest private detention center operators last night, thanks to a Navy contract.

The move lets ICE bypass normal contracting processes to tap GEO Group to operate its detention centers as they race to buy detention sites to house 92,000 detainees nationwide.

David gegen Goliath: Überwachungskonzern Palantir verklagt die „Republik“ Der Großkonzern Palantir geht presserechtlich gegen das Schweizer Magazin

Peter Thiel desperately wants to put another publication out of business. This time it's the Swiss news magazine Republik, which published a feature highlighting the extensive security flaws found in Palantir's spyware. netzpolitik.org/2026/david-g...

YES. A turn to state constitutions for substantive protections from federal authoritarianism is a necessary development under the present circumstances.

I've long seen federalism as on balance bad for rights—Jim Crow, after all, lasted nearly a century. But today, its potential can't be denied.

The Kids Aren’t Alright in Dilley A baby who needs medicine. A toddler whose detained mom may have breast cancer. A suicide attempt.

This is devastating, and infuriating.

DHS calls leaks a threat. Here’s what we wouldn’t know without them Recent leaks have exposed DHS’s warrantless home invasions, targeting of protesters, surveillance overreach, and propaganda campaigns

DHS calls whistleblowers a “threat to national security.”

But without leaks to the press, the public wouldn’t know ICE is entering homes without warrants, labeling protesters “domestic terrorists,” building surveillance tools, or pushing propaganda.

Live Updates: In Munich, Rubio Calls Europe a Friend but Says It Must Change

Rubio makes clear that he and the president share a strong affection for the Europe that existed north and south of the Alps around 1938, and that they would like to see it replicated today.

🌤️ Mostly sunny and warming up, with highs in the upper 50s - it'll be our 20th-straight day with above average high temps in Denver, and a bit breezy this afternoon.

🌡️ Notably warmer tomorrow with near-record highs in the mid-60s ahead of wind/high fire danger Mon-Tue.

FBI Assessments: A First Amendment and Surveillance Nightmare Now would be an excellent time for Congress to initiate a Church Committee-style review of every single existing surveillance program being employed by executive branch elements.

Over four years ago, Cato asked @raskin.house.gov & Rep. Nancy Mace to have GAO look at an insidious FBI investigative authority called an "Assessment." GAO completed the report in January but withheld it from the public as "Restricted." Racket News leaked it, & here's my take.

Mexican officials feared El Paso airspace closure signaled U.S. incursion into Mexico Coming weeks after airspace was closed over Venezuela before the overthrow of Nicolás Maduro, the shutdown of airspace over El Paso alarmed Mexican officials, who thought it might presage U.S. militar...

When FAA closed the airspace over El Paso with no prior notice to Mexico (70% of the airspace room is Mexico), Mexican security authorities spun into place assuming that Trump was planning to launch an invasion. www.latimes.com/world-nation...

'Even in Russia, they don't treat children like this': A family's nightmare in ICE detention A Russian couple and their children sought asylum in the U.S. In a Texas detention center, they say they endured worms in the food and hourslong waits for medicine.

I interviewed a family of Russian asylum seekers who’ve been held more than four months at the Dilley detention center in Texas.

As we spoke over Zoom this week, their daughter Kamilla was one day shy of turning 12. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday.

She replied: “To get out of here.”

Whatever could Thomas Massie be worried about? Oh, right.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege
