Not coincidentally, major sex trafficking investigations were effectively frozen this year as federal agents were pulled to focus on mass deportation.
It’s never been about protecting children.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Two dumb things.
1. Kash Patel is releasing investigation video on his personal twitter, as opposed to the FBI's. This shouldn't happen.
2. The footage is reconstructed from Nest servers. There's no timestamps on footage, but there would be metadata with timestamps. He didn't include time info.

The new voter suppression bill—called the "Save America Act"—would require 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates to register to vote. Most don't have these documents. This is a poll tax by another name.

People need to understand the financial burden that the SAVE Act is going to place on people needing to obtain "acceptable" documentation in order to register & vote. This is absolutely a poll tax. The other thing this post brings up is the burden of an unpaid day off of work to request an ID.

Trump shows up over a million times in the unredacted Epstein files. And that's the half they released. Imagine what's in the half they didn't release.
That means that the DOJ redacted Trump's name about 950K times in the 3M documents they released. www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...
