ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the allegations of overcrowding and lack of access to lawyers are false.
Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

10/ What all this means is that this scandal is infinitely bigger than you realize—will take infinitely longer to unpack than we can stand—and doesn't have sex at its center but power. You should also assume that some of the most powerful people in global politics, business and tech are compromised.

8/ Epstein was in many respects an utterly pathetic figure, and we should never forget that. But those focused exclusively on him being a man who needed to constantly be masturbated by girls are missing the fact that—and I now say this advisedly—he may well have been the most connected man on Earth.

7/ The number of documents in the Files is so large that those thinking this is a typical one-day or one-week story are not appreciating the size of the task before researchers.
3M pages of dense, highly complex comms pointing at broader global networks could take almost a lifetime to fully unpack.

6/ Many of the files are already being taken down without the American people being told of it. The number of hits for Donald Trump in the Files is going down by about a hundred or more each day, reportedly, and with 3 million documents in the archive it is impossible to track what is being removed.

5/ Half the files—well over 3 million pages—are still being *illegally hidden* by Donald Trump. And the half we have is so improperly and even illegally redacted that it'd be fair to say that we are only seeing the most innocuous one-third of the Files. You cannot imagine how bad the full Files are.

4/ The result of the foregoing fact is that so much of the discussion about what's in the Files is about salacious allegations that have never been proven but also, to be clear, were never properly investigated. That's *horrific*, but also distracts attention from what's *definitely in* the files.

3/ We have likewise been trained to focus almost exclusively on exactly the sort of messages we are least likely to find in the Files, which is Epstein talking about sex and girls. But in fact most of that discourse we will never see. What we are seeing is primarily an active intelligence operation.

2/ We've been trained to believe that only messages that involve extremely famous people matter. Actually the opposite is true. Epstein had access to the most powerful people on Earth to a degree I daily find *staggering* now. And most of these people are people whose names you would not recognize.

1/ Epstein and those he's speaking to repeatedly make clear that they only use text messages—even encrypted text messages—for their most benign communications. When something is sensitive they take it to phone or a face-to-face meeting. Everything bad you are seeing is the least bad stuff there is.

How it’s going: identical masked man with ICE badge beating Statue of Liberty.
Remove ICE and CBP funding until real changes are made.

WATCH: “Did you see Johnny Garrett has a bill to keep naturalized citizens from running for Congress? Is he saying you’re less American?”
Rep. Sabi Kumar (R) called Garrett & Sen Brent Taylor’s bill “UNCONSTITUTIONAL” (spoiler: he’s right)

Trump Strips Job Protections From Thousands of Federal Workers
The policy change makes it easier for the president to discipline or remove up to 50,000 employees, another push in the administration’s campaign to reshape the federal work force.
The Trump administration finalized a new policy on Thursday that would strip job protections from up to 50,000 federal workers, a move that would make it easier for President Trump to remove or discipline them, in his latest effort to dismantle the federal work force.

"The new records raise more questions ... Official reviews of Epstein's death make no mention of the figure in orange, and later pronouncements from authorities including the attorney general at the time, Bill Barr, were that no one entered Epstein's housing tier the night of his death."
