Reminder that of all the people complicit in Epstein's crimes, the only person actually held accountable and sentenced was a woman. No men involved have yet to face consequences.

I'm going to be sick. The evil of this runs so deep in the American soul.
ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

Poll worker here. What gets lost in a lot of the voter ID and non-citizens voting is the fact the being registered to vote IS a proof of citizenship. Your citizenship status is checked WHEN YOU REGISTER and you would not be on the rolls if you're not a citizen.
Poll worker here, illegals can’t vote and don’t try to. They don’t have an ss#. Even if they have a license it a TIN, like here in CA, they can’t vote because the number given in that license, is not attached to a ss#.

Good to see Republicans are recalibrating their stance on illegal policing now that Bovino is gone.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Throw every ICE agent in jail for willful assault.
I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.
