Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"
Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

It is bad that Trump wants to use American soldiers against their fellow Americans. And it is also bad that Trump wants foreign powers to exploit his unnecessarily, artificial, and pre-scripted civil war.
Trump to generals: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances. This is gonna be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within & we have to handle it before it gets out of control"

I urge members of the public to remain calm, stay safe, and document what you see with your phones and cameras.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

This is depressingly common now. A lot of people have in absentia removal orders they don't know about. And now that the benefits office is becoming an arm of the mass deportation machine, so people are getting picked up in this situation -- and grace to give time to file a motion to reopen is gone.

Transparency in the Epstein investigation should start with Trump's role.
His AG directed the search of Epstein’s townhouse, and he & his successors haven't commented on or released an inventory of that search. Now his DOJ shut it down.
Release the files. All of them. The people deserve the truth.

Bill Barr ordered the raid on Epstein's townhouse.
It always seemed to me like there were reasons for that search—and items seized—that were never made public.
While others ducked, I asked former FBI Director Wray for the truth. The American people deserve it, I'm going to keep pressing for it.

After a moving, record-breaking speech by Hakeem Jeffries, it is beyond disturbing to watch the despicable Speaker Johnson tell lies to applauding Republican sycophants, all of whom seem eager to build a fascist regime based on white Christian nationalism and backed by billionaires.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Last night a bunch of Republicans in the House were saying how awful this bill was.
Only took a couple hours, some merch, and a few words from Donald Trump, and they’re lining up to rip away health care from 17 MILLION people.
I’m sadly not surprised — but I am still outraged.

The GOP's One Big Ugly Bill guts TennCare—Tennessee's Medicaid program—leaving 310,000+ Tennesseans without health care. All so they bankroll tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires, and big corporations.

Given how much money is in this bill for ICE, we have created the secret police force necessary for him to do this.
Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."
