Before her retirement, this judge oversaw a juvenile justice system in Rutherford County, TN, with a staggering history of throwing children in jail.

In one case, 11 Black children, as young as 8, were arrested for a crime that doesn't exist.

Revisit our 2021 story with @wpln.bsky.social:

Why did Trump move Ghislaine Maxwell to a Club Fed?

She was sentenced to 20 years in prison for trafficking and raping children.

He didn’t just move her.
He gave her a puppy.

I want the press to ask this question every single day.
Not just of Blanche and Bondi.

Ask Trump.

This is sad as fuck. Watch Kid Rock lip sync to 10 people at the Turning Point USA alternative Super Bowl halftime show for MAGA Nazis and white supremacists. Even America's pedophile führer chose to watch Bad Bunny over Bob Ritchie. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

“I Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

Kids like 7-year-old Mia write about missing their friends and family, wanting to go back to school, and not sleeping or eating well at the Dilley detention center in Texas. These stories expose the inhumanity of this administration's immigration policies.

Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

The claim that ICE is only going after "the worst of the worst" is and has always been a lie. Congress should be following the Democrats’ proposal on how to rein in ICE.

Trump 2.0’s Most Racist Moments, Ranked The Obamas-as-apes video is the latest in a long line of racist acts and statements from this administration.

Maybe the Republicans who made a little noise over the Obamas-as-apes video were saving their powder for the big one. But these other things were pretty racist too:

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

More tax cuts for billionaires and corporations while working people are dealing with an affordability crisis including higher costs at the grocery store and paying more for worse healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Let’s Not Sportswash Trump’s Authoritarianism The Olympics, the World Cup, and cheering for our nation’s athletes but not the current administration.

You can, in fact, represent America without endorsing the current administration, and likewise you can cheer American athletes without endorsing the current administration.

This is obviously not targeted enforcement. And we still don’t know how many children they’ve taken.

According to Trump voter John Carter, whose company provided security at the racetrack, federal agents "pointed automatic rifles and set off flash-bang grenades" during the arrest of Ivan Tellez, the alleged track operator. Times reporter Anna Griffin documented the operation's scale. "Other federal, state and local agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, showed up soon after, sending many in the crowd running into neighboring fields or hiding in their cars. The local sheriff rode through on horseback, and a black, military-style helicopter circled low in the sky. Eventually, everyone there was herded to the end of the track. Most adults, including parents caring for toddlers, and many teenagers had their hands bound."

"Beyond economic impacts, the raid has created profound uncertainty and suspicion throughout the community. Longtime resident David Lincoln characterized the operation as having 'nearly destroyed' the town."

Tiny pro-Trump Idaho town 'nearly destroyed' by ICE raid: 'What in the world is going on?' Residents of the tiny Idaho town of Wilder are waiting for the next shoe to drop after federal agents descended on the community in mid-October and arrested more than 100 Hispanic locals at an unlicen...

Tiny rural town in Idaho where 91% voted Trump never thought these ICE raids would affect them. Now, after more than 100 Hispanic workers were rounded up and deported, farmers and businesses can't find workers.

on merit, not favoritism or retaliation. Without independent review, employees who speak up about problems, report waste or misconduct, or simply fall out of favor could have far fewer options to defend themselves. That weakens accountability and makes the entire federal workforce more vulnerable.

Why Trump’s Attack on Refugees Could Hurt Grandma It’s immigrants from ‘shithole’ countries who care for our elderly, and nobody’s lining up to take their place.

Funny how that works, huh? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

Kevin Sorbo is dumber than the #10 cat, which probably surprises no one.

Just a reminder that Trump’s former criminal defense attorney turned Dep. AG Todd Blanche transferred Ghislaine Maxwell to a Club Fed where she now plays with puppies and goes to yoga classes.

Just when you think Trump's dirty DOJ leadership can't get any LESS ethical, they surprise you:

Democrats overperform in another special election, deny the GOP a pickup opportunity Trump carried this district by 13 points, fueling Republican hopes about flipping the seat. Instead, the Democratic nominee prevailed — by 24 points.

Louisiana special election:

"Trump carried this district by 13 points in the 2024 cycle, fueling GOP hopes about flipping the state House seat.

Instead, the Democratic nominee prevailed — by 24 points."

Each time Trump has been asked if he'll pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, he's never said no.

She has the goods on him and Epstein.

There's no way she will spend 20 years in jail after she saw all these criminals pardoned by Trump.

I won't put it past Trump to commute her sentence.

My Aunt, who was in her late 80s changed states. We had to go through major hoops to get the documents needed for her new DL. She was born at home so no birth certificate. We had to hunt down 70 year old school records. do you know how hard that is? The elderly will be disadvantaged.

Democrats warn USPS changes could threaten mail voting in midterms The lawmakers stress that voting by mail has been repeatedly shown to be secure and that any changes to postal operations must not interfere with ballot delivery.

🚨 A coalition of House Democrats is sounding the alarm over new U.S. Postal Service changes.

They say a new program could put millions of voters at risk in the 2026 midterm elections, particularly in rural communities and states with strict election deadlines.

This is really bad. Bringing back nearly eradicated diseases does not make us great.

My aunt got TB her first year in college, spent the next three years in a sanitarium, and almost didn't make it. Her health never fully recovered, and she died 20 years earlier than my mom, her younger sister.
