AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Why is Immigrant Affairs Assistant Commissioner Salgado still employed by the City of New York? His racist provocation toward the incoming mayor is not surprising from the Adams administration that traded in those slurs for months leading up to the June primary.

Even if Trump didn't have sex with the underage Epstein women, he evidently knew of the activity. So, accomplice liability? He's not a mandated reporter, but knowledge of child abuse and failure to report it?

This case is likely to be no more winnable than Trump's cases against ABC News and CBS News. He only wins if the BBC folds from pressure by its new right wing overlords, as the two networks did here.

Seriously, every account of an incident by Tricia McLaughlin is a lie. And, as the local cop knows, it's neither a federal nor a state crime to film an officer if not interfering. That includes ICE. This must've slipped through the cracks of ICE training.or ICE has a really low hiring standard.
