GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

I don’t give a shit about Brett Favre’s racist opinion regarding Bad Bunny, what I do care about is that he still isn’t in jail for committing welfare fraud after he stole $5M from the Mississippi Welfare Fund to build a sports facility for his daughter.

Maria Antonia Guerra Montoya was used as bait by ICE, just like they did to Liam Ramos.

The Dilley camp has held the 9 year old for 113 days. She wrote a letter pleading to go home to Columbia.

Make noise for all of them.

Public pressure got Liam released.

Now close the camps.

Question for lawyers. Why should a person be required to submit to entry to their home or vehicle by someone who isn't required to show proof that they're actually law enforcement?

I hope y'all are watching Rachel Maddow. In her description of the horrific murders and concentration camp sadism that is happening under the pedophile führer — it's full-blown Nazi shit.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

“I followed the rules. I’ve done great in the community. I’ve never abused any of the conditions of the stay or of my supervision…I’m so scared, I cannot go back."

ICE brutally detained a minister in Vermont. Now, the Trump administration wants to send him back to Uganda, where he was tortured.
He fled torture in Uganda. ICE is trying to send him back.
People like Pastor Steven Tendo “are exactly who our asylum system is meant to protect.”

Democrats aren’t asking for anything unreasonable on ICE reforms.

We’re just asking that they be held to the same standards as local law enforcement.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem shouldn’t be able to command a secret, masked police force.

The Epstein files weren’t released to expose the truth. They were released to end the conversation. Dump everything, overwhelm scrutiny, claim transparency, and walk away with zero new prosecutions. That’s not justice. That’s a shutdown.
