If releasing the Epstein list would collapse your Government, then your Government needs to collapse.

THE SHOOOOOOOOE!!!! 😩😩😩

I watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit with my kids recently and WOW that movie is so damn good. All the film noir stuff went right over my head as a kid. The line deliveries from Eddie's dame are PERFECT. And yes I still cried over the poor little shoe getting the dip.

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

She's also the only child rapist in history to be moved to a minimum security camp with potential work release one week after meeting with the Deputy Attorney General.

ICE memo outlines plan to deport migrants to countries where they are not citizens The dramatic shift in policy could result in thousands of immigrants being deported to places where they lack family ties or even a common language.

Breaking news: Federal immigration officers may deport immigrants with as little as six hours’ notice to countries other than their own, even without assurances that the arrivals will be safe from persecution or torture, a top official said.

Zohran Mamdani and Mahmoud Khalil Are In on the Joke What it feels like to laugh when the world expects you to disappear.

At a comedy show, Mahmoud Khalil told Zohran Mamdani, “I am excited about the possibility of raising my son in a city where you are mayor.” It was a stunning moment, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.

MAGA pretended to care about Epstein's victims, but protecting their cult leader means more to them. Watch the full episode here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMaQ...

“Superman is too woke!”

Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

This is patently false.

DHS has authority to question and search people coming into the country at points of entry.

But ICE may not detain and question anyone without reasonable suspicion — and certainly not based on their physical appearance alone.

This lawlessness must stop.

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.

BREAKING: "Metadata embedded in the [Epstein] video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified." www.wired.com/story/metada...

Trump administration will continue a program that allows certain employers to pay workers with disabilities less than minimum wage, effectively ending efforts to bring their wages in line with those of nondisabled workers.

What is Trump hiding?

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

*More of this, please*"

Fox is not journalism. It's anti-journalism. The more you watch, the stupider you get.

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

Justice Sotomayor speaks for so many:

“The Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims.

In sadness, I dissent.”
