On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

The Epstein Lobby.
Examples of "the best government that money can buy" are becoming more depressing. Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted accepted more than $115,000 in campaign contributions from Les Wexner, one of 6 people listed as Epstein's co-conspirators, and then voted against releasing the Epstein files.
Husted took donations from Epstein co-conspirator Les Wexner, then voted to block file release
Campaign records show Sen. Jon Husted took $116,892 from Les Wexner since 2001, including months before voting to block release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents.

Plenty of historians can explain this slowly if needed: concentration camp means mass civilian detention without due process under state power. That definition predates Nazis and fits exactly what’s happening now.

I do really wish more reporters would just ask "Speaker Johnson, do you think it’s appropriate for the Speaker of the House—third in line of succession to the presidency—to be so consistently unfamiliar with current events?"
Q: Rep. Jayapal accused the DOJ of tracking her search history. Is that appropriate conduct?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that
Q: Bondi had a piece of paper with Jayapal's search history
JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that but it would be inappropriate if it happened
