This, my friends, is how it is done: Lean in. Expose. Defy.
The phrase “Speaking truth to power,” has become something of a cliche. Maybe that’s because we see it so seldom in practice. But we saw it last night, and it was spectacular.

Accountability shouldn’t stop at the Atlantic. If leaders in Europe can face consequences tied to the Epstein files, the American people deserve the same transparency and reckoning here at home. No one is above the law and survivors deserve justice.

The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

"The Trump regime is a disaster not just for public health in the US, but worldwide. There has been a great deal of discussion of the ways in which Trump’s reckless foreign policy has put global security at risk. But US abandonment of public health leadership may well be even more consequential."
Trump somehow got worse on public health after covid
He's incapable of learning lessons and actively resists it.
