Could Epstein Island videos have been Putin’s growth stocks?
Newly released U.S. Justice Department filings in the Jeffrey Epstein case describe the financier as a “wealth manager” for Vladimir Putin. The claim comes from an FBI report dated Nov. 27, 2017. Putin is mentioned 1,055 times in the documents; “Russia” 5,876.

WSJ Exclusive: A U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Tulsi Gabbard in a whistleblower complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter.
Exclusive | Classified Whistleblower Complaint About Tulsi Gabbard Stalls Within Her Agency
Congress hasn’t seen the complaint, which was filed eight months ago with the U.S. intelligence community watchdog’s office.

The DOJ probably needs a name change too.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release.

WHAT ELSE ARE THEY HIDING???

I wonder what The Guardian omits the lede with this piece on the new release. Allegations that a convicted sex offender, Trump, raped and trafficked a 13 yo girl seem a bit more newsy than anything Andrew.

How @cnn.com @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com and @reuters.com virtually bury the Epstein/Trump files. They post one story merely citing the release of thousands of files in the headline. That’s it.

@msnowreports.bsky.social For the sanity of all of us, csn you please do at least one segment about rape trafficking allegations of a 13 yo? This seems kind of important.

It only takes a thimbleful of courage to filibuster and force 60 votes. Cancel my Dem registration if my MN senators don’t step up.
How do Dems NOT understand that any and all "concessions" will be IGNORED as soon as the $$ is allotted?!

THERE IS NO NEGOTIATING WITH TERRORISTS!

ICE & CBP ARE OUT OF CONTROL TERRORISTS ABUSING, KIDNAPPING, RAPING AND MURDERING OUR PEOPLE!

BLOCK THE BILL!

ZERO FUNDING FOR ICE & CBP!
Colorado's two Democratic Senators are joining colleagues to block funding for ICE. The question is which immigration enforcement concessions will satisfy the handful of centrist Dems who might vote with Republicans to advance a funding package.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Yep.
Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.

1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.

2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.

3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.

4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

Did you say, St. Louis Park Homewood Suites?
It would be awful if people showed up there in protest and with bullhorns.
JUST IN: ICE agents in Minnesota arrested an employee at the St. Louis Park Homewood Suites — where they were staying to help carry out Operation Metro Surge.

A federal judge just ordered the man's release.

Any obstruction of justice by Dems, including Schumer, must be seen as pedophile protection. It’s not just the Republicans. House and Senate leaders are not holding together, whipping their members. Why?
