The argument that people having rights makes law enforcement more difficult is not remotely convincing.
Mike Johnson speaks out against the use of judicial warrants in immigration cases:

"Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant"

Mike, that "magic" is simply this thing called math
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

One of my most fervent beliefs is that homeschooling should be illegal. It is the domain of religious psychos and white supremacists and the kids always pay a heavy price

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

You can really see why they fought so hard against Me Too, they're all implicated either in deed or silence and it's hugely fucking embarrassing for the Masters of the Universe

"This guy is clearly a monster, but he's a well-connected and well-resourced monster so I'm going to let it slide" is the universal lapse in judgement here among elites, and it's a huge issue that seems to be getting missed even though it's so damning of the culture around them.

I have not met many (3?) billionaires and they were certainly nice people but it also seems plausible that as a class billionaires simply cannot be “human” if we view material limitations as constitutive of the human condition

You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

*Remember when scouting was all about covering up the molestation of kids? Let's get back to that.*
– Trump's hirelings, in essence
Breaking news: The Pentagon issued a warning to Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts, saying the organization risks losing its long-standing partnership with the U.S. military unless it rapidly implements “core value reforms.”
Pentagon warns Scouts to restore ‘core values’ or lose military support
The relationship dates back decades, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has criticized the organization for allowing girls to join and changing its name from Boy Scouts.

So, this confirms that Gabbard was directed by Trump to go down to Georgia to tinker with the 2020 election results. They call it 'an investigation' though. Wink-Wink.
Q: Why was Tulsi Gabbard involved in a domestic law enforcement search in Georgia?

LEAVITT: Tulsi Gabbard has been tapped by the president to oversee the sanctity and security of our American elections. She's working directly alongside the FBI. This is a coordinated, whole of govt effort.

ICE is murdering American citizens, kidnapping children, illegally entering homes, and lying about it.

While the Admin continues defending their crimes, I’ll keep voting on behalf of my Hudson Valley community and saying NO to funding Trump’s ICE.

People pushing things like this are normalizing normal people having nothing (no real teachers, doctors, carers, or coaches) while billionaires have everything.

Bondi released the victims identification as a form of intimidation, and to silence the 1000’s of other rape victims.

It’s past time to publicly say the names of every child rapists in the Epstein files.

We didn’t “leak” anything.

Rep. Thomas Massie and I sent Todd Blanche the letter on Friday and then shared it with press and the public afterward.

That’s called transparency.
