There’s a strong arm robbery of the American republic occurring and I’m on the case! Retired NYPD Detective. Never give in to these fascists and fear not- Good will always triumph over evil!

I think the mistake everyone is making is in not recognizing that trump is forging a new alliance w/Russia and China on power.He wants to be a real strongman leader like them.
They’ll be divvying up the world and who then can stop it? Our traditional allies know this is happening.

Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison suspended two officers for coordinating with Border Patrol in violation of department policy. He said he “intends to terminate them."

Our public records request showed two more instances of officers calling immigration agents, with @kobylevin.bsky.social:

Detroit police officers coordinated with Border Patrol more often than the department acknowledged.

There are 28 Republican members on the House Oversight Committee. None of them showed up today for Les Wexner’s deposition on Epstein.

A mail-order abortion pill ban passed the Mississippi House, defining it as felony drug trafficking that would carry one to 10 year prison sentences for providers.

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over.

I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

Many people who build and/or maintain America's concentration camps (that's what they are) will be locked inside a camp someday. The only person a corrupt dictator cares about is himself.

Everyone is disposable trash to #Trump, even #ICE & his inner circle. Ex: #Epstein murdered by you know who.

Holy shit.

A lot of people have suggested this, but I don’t think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.

Wait, did the SAVE Act already pass and they forgot to tell voters? No!

I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary.

Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.

AOC on Randy Fine: “This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official — It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this — Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept & normalize it”

No, Donald Trump cannot implement voting changes via Executive Order. He may try but if he does, he we will sue and we will win.
BARTIROMO: Could the president just implement an executive order to get the SAVE Act across the finish line going into the midterms?

REP. MARK HARRIS: That's a great question. I don't know the answer to that, quite frankly.

Yesterday, we looked at the curious case of the 4% yield on 10-year US government bonds.

The plot thickens with the recent flattening of the US yield curve (please see the Bloomberg chart on 2s-10s below).
