Why would federal prosecutors in 2019 tell authorities in New Mexico to stop their investigation into Epstein and Zorro Ranch?
New Mexico is pursuing long-overdue answers by investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch through a new subcommittee that was just created by the New Mexico House.
I’ve got the details, including why the state’s AG’s Office stopped investigating Epstein back in 2019.

So apparently the DOJ just removed a document from the Epstein files that shows the FBI spoke with a woman FOUR TIMES who credibly accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor. This is being reported by Roger Sollenberger on Substack.

I love how MAGA spent all day yesterday swearing up and down that the government didn’t try to stop CBS from airing Colbert’s interview with Talarico—only for Brendan Carr to hop on Fox News tonight and basically say, “yeah, of course we did that shit.”

Awfully hard to square the claims that ICE is focused on removing violent criminals that are so dangerous we can't let them be around with the fact that ICE tricks their targets by pretending to need help and waiting for neighborly types to respond by offering to help a stranger for free.
Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

Remembering when I ran into a Trump volunteer in Scranton right before the election who told me he backed Trump because he wanted to keep his grandson out of war and then it turned out that he was also a former GOP legislator who'd been convicted of perjury related to campaign finance violations.

The reason the Founders made Congress responsible for declaring war is that they knew it was vital for the decision to be thoroughly debated and the people to be fully committed to the course chosen.

They were paying themselves millions of taxpayer dollars to boost Noem's public image while they lied about immigrants and slandered the people they gunned down in the street.

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.
