Fifteen-year-old Miguel Vazquez was one of the people who took off running when federal agents arrived. “I thought, ‘Wait, why am I running? I’m a citizen,’” Vazquez said.

Even republicans work to make this guy look foolish.
Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

NEW: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. They're given addresses, vehicles, told to monitor the target. That information then goes back up to ICE. These are not licensed private investigators; members of the public

The problem with having rather openly purged DOJ of all but the most shameless stooges and loyalists is precisely this: Even once the Epstein files are released, why would anyone believe that release is complete and undoctored?
At this stage there’s literally no reason to believe the admin, even if it releases more than you’d expect, are being forthcoming. It’s the opposite of conspiracy theory to look at the proudly lawless pattern of deception and raw power that this trump admin has engaged in then to conclude they’d…

Dems need to aggressively take the mantle of the "real party of family values" as the entire GOP circles the wagons to protect pedophiles.

I wish we lived in a land where if journalists heard the president call one of their colleges "piggy" or suggest another of their colleagues, who was butchered for what he wrote, in some way had it coming, they would close their laptops, leave as soon as possible, and ask to be reassigned.

It really sucks, but I’m grateful to Dems in congress for sticking to their guns and pushing for the right thing, regardless. They can’t control the ultimate outcome, but they exercised what power they do have.

Who was it yesterday that said they’d release whatever they are “legally allowed” — Mike Johnson? Either way, I don’t believe for one second they will release the truly incriminating stuff they have.

However, knowing how disorganized and inept this administration is, I’m counting on them to slip up

Stephen Miller is scared because Democrats are calling on U.S. military service members and intelligence professionals to honor their oaths to the Constitution.

Miller knows they can’t do that and enforce Trump’s unconstitutional agenda - which Miller himself has shaped.

Senate Republicans were so eager to dispense with the Epstein measure that they agreed with Schumer to declare it passed by unanimous consent--even though it has not formally been sent over by the House yet. It may land on Trump's desk tonight.

One other thing I want people to remember is that, as GOP officials themselves have said today, the public outcry over the Epstein files is so great that anything less than a full release is going to result in immediate and profound blowback to the regime.

We still have power.

That's all we need to know.

Trump/DOJ can release them any time they want, and could have.

They won't.
