Insanity. They are laughing at us.

FBI blocks Minnesota officials from accessing Alex Pretti case files, BCA says The update comes after ICE Director Todd Lyons announced last week that Operation Metro Surge was coming to an end.

“BCA Superintendent Drew Evans confirmed in a statement on Monday that the ‘lack of cooperation is concerning and unprecedented.’ “

The Atlantic continues to cover itself in glory. This guy is treated as an elder statesman for a career that peaked with—drumroll—being one of the earliest and loudest proponents for invading Iraq after 9/11. I suppose it's good he's now a fan of white nationalism, that means it too will fail.

She's the gutter-dweller, in with all the filth and squalor.

FBI Interviewed Trump Accuser, Epstein Files Show Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

This is a bombshell: One of Epstein's victims accused Trump of sexually and violently assaulting her when she was "13 to 15" and the FBI deemed her credible enough to warrant an interview.

From Trump to YouTube influencers, the right is obsessed with fraud in California Little has resulted so far from Trump’s often vague warnings to California. But his administration continues to ramp up pressure on the state.

🧵The irony of the grifter in chief going after California for alleged fraud is, well, rich.

Trump pardons fraudsters regularly.

Trump paid $25m for Trump University fraud.

Trump's kids defrauded people for a cancer charity.

And Dr Oz? Once jailed for Medicaid fraud.

Do people truly not understand what’s coming for our elections?

Stephen Colbert blasts CBS for nixing James Talarico interview The late-night host said the network feared running afoul of new FCC guidance directing shows to give equal airtime to political candidates.

New: Stephen Colbert accused his network, CBS, of refusing to broadcast his interview with Texas Rep. James Talarico, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, during Monday night’s airing of “The Late Show” for fear of running afoul of the Trump administration.

Why Democrats Should Run Against the 'Epstein Class' Avoiding the false choices that plague Democratic messaging.

Yep. open.substack.com/pub/messageb...

The real reason CBS didn't let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico is that the Ellisons are still trying to buy Warner Bros.

David Ellison runs Paramount, which owns CBS.

He's using CBS to show what loyal oligarchs they are as they seek FCC approval for a WBD deal.

Federal Economic Analysis for Detention Site Riddled With Errors on Taxes, Jobs, Geography Document incorrectly references Oklahoma economy and inflates job numbers with theoretical positions

Special for my friends in the media!

Before you use numbers from a new DHS “economic impact analysis” in reporting on a new Trump prison camp, please consider that these reports appear to be (to use a technical term) horseshit.

Helpful explanation here:

This applies to Republican politicians, mostly.

I am ready on the stump.

Thank you Rev Jackson. Thank you for making us all know and remember that we all are somebody.

Much better someone's children than privileged, elitist billionaires who have crushed the souls of others to get 'on top'.

Narrator: He has not been “totally exonerated”

Trump Official Who Helped Kill USAID Now Using Its Funds for Himself Russ Vought, White House Office of Management and Budget director, has decided what is happening with USAID funds.

The historical term for this is "looting." The Project 2025 architect who promised to put federal employees “in trauma” is spending $15 million of former USAID funding—money that would have gone toward fighting HIV, polio, malaria, and other diseases—to bankroll his security detail. trib.al/TSV3cmb

Trump insider Tom Barrack kept in regular contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years, files show Tom Barrack, a top U.S. diplomat and longtime friend of President Trump, networked and socialized with Epstein for years, CBS News found.

Trump's longtime confidant Thomas Barrack, now serving as U.S. ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria, was in regular, close contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, a CBS News analysis of over 100 texts and email exchanges shows.

Schools Would Have to Set Aside Time for Prayer, Bible Readings Under Mississippi Bill Mississippi public schools may soon have to set aside time for students to pray and read the Bible and other religious texts under the Mississippi Open to Religion Act.

Miss. ACLU Executive Director Jarvis Dortch opposes a bill that requires schools to set aside time for prayer and other religious activities.

“I mean, you’re going to further marginalize folks," he said. "There are going to be folks that are going to be singled out and approached as outsiders.”

So, we are just going to *allow* Kushner to serve in this administration though no one voted for him. Not us.
Not the Senate.
No one.
And we’re not protesting this.
This sends a confirmation to the world of our weakness on the world stage.

Noem dismisses criticism of 'right people' voting for 'right leaders' remark https://twp.ai/9PbWBZ

This flew under the radar, but it shouldn’t have.

When senator Alex Padilla was tackled by DHS, Kristi Noem’s side piece, Corey Lewandowski, was orchestrating the situation in the hall.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

Even judges that Trump himself appointed have called out the administration for violating multiple court orders

Jesus, when is this guy's term over
