This is the exact point that Jack Smith outlined to Congress

Trump has a pattern of threatening witnesses, to the point of threatening to murder them

It isn't just all the little girls he raped

Trump is a sadistic monster, and threats part of the control

He derives pleasure from the terror
Witness told FBI Trump threatened to ‘disappear’ girl and have her ‘whole family killed’
Under penalty of perjury, a witness told the FBI back in 2016 that they had “personally witnessed” President Donald Trump threaten to “disappear” a girl and have her entire family killed, according to...

There may be no gas chambers-but that doesn’t change what these warehouses are destined to become

Concentration camps

With ICE killing people in the streets, Trump prosecuting his opponents and the DOJ arresting journalists, it feels like America has entered a modernized version of Nazi Germany
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

Thought we should check in on the total list of legislative flips during Trump 2.0. The tally so far (including tonight):

Within half an hour of when Deputy AG Blanche told reporters that DOJ "complied with the statute...we did not protect President Trump," DOJ deleted multiple documents from the database with damning information about Trump. Among those deleted were first-person accounts of Trump raping kids.

Personally, I think that anyone who was sending friendly emails back and forth with Jeffrey Epstein or attending events with him post-2008 should be thrown into an active volcano.

The D was heavily outspent here, statewide Rs pushed hard about this race, Trump posted repeatedly in the last day etc

A >30% swing is genuinely insane

Specials are weird, but I don't think you can ignore that this was the first competitive election since Minneapolis
in the sense that we just got almost all of eday and Rehmet (D) is leading by 14.4% in a district that Trump won by 17.4%

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Imagine being a 42 year-old pleading with a known pedophilic sex criminal to fly you to his island so you can party with girls he assures you will be 25 or younger.

Then imagine lying about it to hundreds of millions—and continuing to lie even after your lie's revealed.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
