This is the best explainer I’ve seen on Ratcliffe’s motives for his racist outburst. We shouldn’t enter into any ‘debate’ on immigration on these terms. It’s a deeply dishonest and dangerous call to arms by cynical people who prioritise profit over everything else

JFC. Epstein's tentacles are everywhere. All need to be scrutinized & held accountable. What shocked me in the hearing is when Bondi promised to talk w/the MOC, after the hearing who had privacy concerns, but didn't offer to speak to the women standing behind her. A fixer like Ruemmler. EVIL.
