The Trump regime is lying, again, so they can terrorize immigrant communities with impunity.

We must never forget the cruelty this administration has inflicted.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

There sure is a lot of missing evidence when it comes to DHS.

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:

ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

www.courtlistener.com/docket/71832...
Defendants have indicated that some video between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed and therefore cannot be produced on an expedited basis or at all. Plaintiffs are in the process of hiring an IT contractor. Plaintiffs’ contractor will meet with the government’s ESI Liaison (with attorneys on the phone) to attempt to work through issues concerning the missing video, including whether any content is able to be retrieved. While Plaintiffs intend to explore the issue of missing footage,

"the only thing I am surprised about is that it took him this long to come after me."

A Trump loyalist referred Eric Swalwell to DOJ the very same day that Gateway Pundit targeted him (and published his home address).

Kids are people.

But there’s no need for a car based society. I say this as someone who drives a lot.
awalkerinla.bsky.social Alissa Walker @awalkerinla.bsky.social · 17h
One more thing. When I wrote about this study showing one-third of Americans don't drive, people were messaging me saying this cannot be true for LA.

In LA County *23 percent* of the population is under 16. Kids are people! We must plan for their movement, just like all nondrivers. Hope that helps!

Highly recommend diving into NRDC's study on car access, which @keawilson.bsky.social wrote about here: usa.streetsblog.org/2025/10/02/report-16-million-have-no-car-access-at-all

Where Nadir was killed, 14% of LA households are car-free. But the infrastructure does not match that reality

All of the times I’ve wondered what Putin had on Trump, and now we find out Jeffrey Epstein was talking to Putin’s ambassador about Trump.
Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

Oh. Was it the part where Halligan said the jurors couldn’t leave unless they returned an indictment? (I have no proof that happened. Just speculating. But she kept them until 7 PM and they indicted on a two-vote margin.)

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
As a Black Hawk helicopter roared overhead, the slender, 28-year-old immigrant from Venezuela answered softly, his eyes darting to a television crew invited to film the raid. Next to Caicedo, masked Border Patrol agents inspected another man’s tattoos and asked him if he belonged to Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group. Until that moment, Caicedo’s only interaction with law enforcement in his two-and-a-half years in the United States had been a traffic stop two weeks earlier for driving without a license or insurance, according to the records we reviewed. Chicago police had run a background check on him and found no prior arrests, no warrants and no evidence that he was in a gang. Caicedo said he had a pending asylum application, a steady job at a taco joint and a girlfriend whose daughter attended elementary school across the street. None of that mattered. The U.S. government paraded him and his neighbors in front of the cameras and called their arrests a spectacular victory against terrorism. But later, after the cameras had gone, prosecutors didn’t charge Caicedo with a crime. They didn’t accuse him of being a terrorist. And after a brief hearing in immigration court, the government sent him back to the country he had fled nine years earlier. “I lost everything,” he said in a phone interview from his mother’s home in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. “For those fools, everyone from Venezuela is a criminal.”

A teenage girl just alleged she had sex with Matt Gaetz while living in a homeless shelter because she was saving up money to pay for braces to fix her teeth.

She had just finished her junior year of high school.

It’s obvious now and everyone knows it. Trump is associated with Epstein and protecting Ghislane Maxwell to protect himself. Every Republican now has a choice, pick a side. No middle ground. Support or oppose trafficking

Meatpacking corporations face such little competition—so they are jacking up prices. It’s a ripoff to ranchers and it drives up costs for all of us. I supported antitrust investigations into this industry under the Biden Administration and encourage the Trump Administration to keep up the pressure.
