Roger Sollenberger: The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was underage not once — but at least FOUR times. But the document that shows those additional interviews appears to have been deleted from the DOJ website.

The FBI spoke at least four times with a woman who credibly accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor, Epstein files show. That document is no longer accessible on the DOJ website.

Thanks to Rep. Ted Lieu (my Rep) for a much-needed reality check today in the face of DOJ's impotence: “Donald Trump IS in the Epstein files many thousands of times. There ARE disturbing allegations of Donald Trump r*ping children and even threatening to kill children.”

Trump officials say there's a 90% chance of strikes on Iran. He can’t without Congress.
Rep. Thomas Massie & I have a War Powers Resolution to debate & vote on war before putting U.S. troops in harm’s way. I will make a motion to discharge to force a vote on it next week.

Les Wexner met Jeffrey Epstein in 1986. Epstein became a key financial advisor for Wexner in 1987. In 1991, Wexner, then a billionaire, handed over his power of attorney to Epstein.

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

ICE is still here in Minnesota.
The only difference in the “drawdown” I am seeing is a shift from the Bovino actions that were done for confrontation and conflict for the cameras to more snatch and grabs that are no less awful, if more dispersed.
Until they are all home.

It would’ve cost about $30 billion to pay for subsidies so we could afford to get health insurance
Then Trump would’ve had $8 billion left to help lower the cost of food
Instead, he’s paying for ICE to build concentration camps
