4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

Rep. Ro Khanna Just Said :UN human rights experts just concluded the Epstein files may have "crimes against humanity." The DOJ continues a cover-up. Here's what needs to happen now:

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.

America is on the brink of a full-scale war with Iran — but no one is willing to say exactly why, including the occupant of the Oval Office. But there are clues.

It's important to remember that the attachment to Trump is based on hatred and bigotry.
If it were for any other reason then it would be far easier to uproot these people from their attachment to Trump and MAGA.

Trump is demanding billions of dollars from his own Justice Department and many legal experts are now saying the circumstance is creating an unprecedented ethical and legal morass.

Trump creates confusion with criminal intent.

He ran for office with criminal intent.

The 3 male backstage manatees at The Seas will be released very soon!

Of the onstage females, Soleil (115 markings) and Cider could be released in as soon as a few months (as they’re between 800-1000 lbs currently), but little 500 pound Tani will need another year here

If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.
