No, I didn’t ever believe Epstein killed himself. And now, I REALLY don’t believe Epstein killed himself. Like a “I don’t believe it” X 10 kind of thing.

It’s amazing to me that Musk had the sheer gall to tweet that the ‘bomb’ was that Trump is in the Epstein files knowing full well… that he was in there too.

These people are astonishing. No shame.

Just zero shame or self-awareness.

MINNEAPOLIS: “Thousands and thousands— the people of Minneapolis are not letting up. Despite Tom Homan saying there’s a drawdown, these people don’t believe it. They want ICE OUT COMPLETELY.”

The “government” has a deeply negative to at best a zero interest in representing WeThePeople and is operating as a criminal enterprise. Hence, there is NO “government” to shut down - only a criminal lying stealing cheating enterprise to shut down.

Marimar Martinez is a hero.

She was shot 5 times by ICE.

The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire.

He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”.

DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her.

Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

KNOXVILLE STUDENTS: “To see this many people come out, it means so much. Because living in the South it can feel isolating to have these different viewpoints.”

Huge student-led anti-ICE walkout happened today, despite threats of discipline from school officials💪🏽

If they truly cared about survivors, they would have demanded the UNREDACTED Epstein Files a year ago.

They are terrible mothers, betrayers of women, and disgraces to our nation.

May legal accountability find them all.

Yet, they are willing to deny those survivors justice, to exacerbate their trauma, and stand in the way of justice, all to line their own pockets and keep their party in power...

An infuriated federal judge in Minnesota on Wednesday published a list of nearly 100 court orders that ICE had violated over the last month.

Judge Schiltz wrote that the "extent of ICE's noncompliance is almost certainly substantially understated."
Judge says ICE violated court orders in 74 cases—see them all here
The extraordinary document offers a glimpse of a national campaign by the federal government to deprive detained immigrants of due process rights.

Mockler: The attacks on the press are attacks to make sure there's not transparency—on colleges, it's to make sure that critical thinking students aren't coming out of these colleges to debunk the administration. He attacks law firms. He attacks any single check.

Mockler: Do you agree with Kristi Noem’s characterization that she made, like an hour after Alex Pretti was murdered?

Seat: Can you just wait until the investigation is done?

Mockler: That's such a good point. Can you say that to Kristi Noem?
