This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.
Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

The entire administration is "new legal analysis."
Is the President a King? Yes, according to new legal analysis. Can we fire civil servants, impound funds and eliminate agencies? *Touches earpiece* Yes, according to new legal analysis.
The shame is that SCOTUS has gone along with much of this.
One trademark of the second Trump administration is the open and seething contempt that his Cabinet officials have for Congress. They don't see elected officials or their oversight function as legitimate.

Iβm sure itβs just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

This is Adelita Grijalva.
She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.
She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.
Bari Weiss would've of course worked for CBS without buying out her website, but the oligarch class wants to reward her for her years of service to their cause including her time as an infiltrator destroying the New York Times from the inside.
