“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

The only person whose standard of living has improved during this Trump term is Ghislaine Maxwell.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

A significant missile and drone attack by Russia on Kyiv early on Friday resulted in at least six fatalities and injuries to at least 35 individuals, including children. The assault involved approximately 430 drones and 18 missiles, targeting high-rise apartment buildings in the city. The

If they win, Democrats will have to use their newfound authority to rethink, even dismantle, agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They may need to walk back the Bush-era decision to consolidate those agencies and others under a single department, given the wild abuses perpetrated under this administration and its predecessors. It will need to give serious thought to major political and social reform, including D.C. statehood, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering, a new voting rights act and federal protections for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, including the rights of gender and sexual minorities. Democrats will also need to embrace the legislature’s constitutional authority to structure the executive branch and the judiciary, up to and including Supreme Court reform. If they win next year, Democrats will need to treat the next Congress not as a return to the status quo ante but as the beginning of a new era in which the principal task is to roll back the president’s effort to create and consolidate a personalist dictatorship. They’ll need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal. None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it. What we’ve seen this week is that there are still too many Democrats whose instinct is to retreat to normalcy rather than face the conflict at hand.

So does everyone get $1 million if they believe that federal law enforcement improperly subpoenaed their cell data, or just Republican senators?

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

GOP Rep. John Rose on GOP senators' taxpayer-funded payouts: "I'm calling on senators to disavow this, including Marsha Blackburn, who unfortunately apparently telegraphed she's planning to take advantage of this opportunity to put millions of dollars in her pocket at the expense of the taxpayer"

Epstein survivor Haley Robson is saying what survivors have lived in silence: it’s enraging to watch Maxwell get grace, platforms, & preferential treatment while survivors get nothing. A system built to protect the powerful and abandon the people they hurt: corruption in real time.

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna
bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

If he’s acting like his life depends on it, maybe…

Weird how people who kept Epstein's activities in Florida from being prosecuted keep getting cabinet-level appointments from Trump. Someone should ask Pam Bondi about this puzzling phenomenon.

Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.

Wut

Certainly looks like Epstein was working with the Russians to influence (read: blackmail / influence / coax) Trump to do Moscow’s bidding.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Most of those names have previously been linked to Epstein, but then there is Sulzberger of the New York Times. That, um, really needs some looking into, given that NYT reporter Thomas Landon acted like Epstein's best buddy.

Yes, nothing screams transparency more than the Attorney General and FBI Director summoning a member of Congress to the White House so they could try to convince her to help hide documents that might implicate the president in a scheme to sex traffic underage girls with a pedophile

What would really unlock the Epstein scandal is finding out why Acosta cut that insane plea deal.

Epstein plead to soliciting a minor. Which is bad. But not nearly as bad as what he was doing. And so the world acted accordingly. Some times in ignorance, some times with greed and cynicism.

Betcha didn't have money on the Catholic Church being the only institution with the spine to stand up to fascism this time round.

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas:

"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou on Donald Trump: “Ghislaine Maxwell did introduce me to him and she introduced me to him with a clear message of my being with him in the same way that she had trafficked me and brought me to Jeffrey Epstein”

Newly released Epstein emails confirm this story.

Epstein was advising Russia on how to handle Donald Trump.

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation
