A green card holder returning from vacation. An asylum recipient at a “routine check-in.” A woman reapplying for her work visa. All of them were legally in the U.S. when they were suddenly arrested and detained by ICE. nyti.ms/4i5gsM5

The brutal detention of three people who came to the U.S. legally reveals a cruel system that operates with impunity.

Trump: "They saw a lot of unbelievable activity at the McDonald's next to the base where they take off. The McDonald's was doing -- right? -- 5 times, they were going crazy. So they say 'there's something going on over there.' The biggest activity that McDonald's had ever had. It was a nice story."

"What did Trump think Epstein was 'stealing' these girls for? Epstein did not own a resort hotel. The answer is that he was recruiting them for his sex trafficking operation. The idea that Trump would have had any uncertainty on that point is absurd." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

He summoned Boebert to the Situation Room to pressure her to withdraw her name. Called Mace. Threatened Massie and Greene. Now he knows it will pass and he’s trying to save face. But he also knows it may die in the senate and DOJ intends to cite a new “pending investigation” to block it.

Ford's last deployment was a record 257 days long (extended 3 times). It's now been at sea for about 147 days. Gives you a sense that there's a clock ticking in the background, that if you're going to use the Ford's air wing, it's going to be sooner rather than later

The survivors and their lawyers have been clear—follow the money.

That is why the next set of subpoenas coming out of the @oversightdemocrats.house.gov must be the financial records involving Jeffrey Epstein. 

We are leaving no stone unturned in this case.

Trump tells the GOP to vote to release the files, and he’ll give them whatever they’re “legally entitled to.” How long before he tells everyone they’re legally entitled to nothing because of the open and ongoing “investigation” he opened into a “hoax”?

For 7 yrs, this is what I’ve told Trump’s supporters every single day: Trump doesn’t give a damn about you. He never has. And that’s got nothing to do with you and everything to do with him. You see, Trump is humanly capable of caring ONLY about Trump. And hopefully one day you’ll realize that.
