For far too long, the story of Jeffrey Epstein has revolved around whether Donald Trump sexually abused an underage girl, committed other contemptible acts, or corruptly covered it up

When it should have always been about the victims

Release the files

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:

Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.

So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Duncan, a political newcomer and former prisoner, defeated incumbent Darren Lombard by a wide margin in Saturday's runoff.

ICE has arrested about 600 immigrants in the city of Chicago. You know how many of them have criminal records? Sixteen.

They promised to secure the border and remove anybody who was violent — and they lied.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

“With immigration agents under intense pressure to deport thousands of people each day, Ms. Lopez was pushed through the system swiftly and was deported within four days of the factory raid.
As a result, Jorge is now cared for by two siblings who are barely adults themselves.”

FOX NEWS: Do you believe that the number of people who came into the country illegally is one of the major factors that drove up housing prices?

THE GOP: GUARDIANS OF THE PEDOPHILES

The Trump Administration and the MAGA media ecosystem are engaging in the most disgusting political cover-up in modern history, desperately trying to protect a gang of pedophiles.

Calling this a "gaffe" is the #BrokenTimes' way to dismiss and forgive the right-wing defense of a white supremacist. Credulity in the excuse of racism is racism.

The problem of sexual assault goes well beyond the perpetrators. It wouldn't happen without the enablers. Such as Republican politicians who go to church on Sunday and then spend their workdays trying to cover up the president's involvement with a child sex trafficking operation.

So let me get this straight, this is terrible, but allowing 42 million people to go without food is not. Right?? Finally something that little Mike Johnson thinks is " terrible optics".
Mike Johnson on Republican senators raiding tax dollars for their own pockets: "The optics of it are terrible. I don't think you should do it retroactively ... for sitting lawmakers to vote themselves an ability to cash in on something like that, to me it was just a really bad look."

In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."
