And yes it seems like the big project that brought most of the Trump regime together, where they forged bonds, was either f-ing young women and girls with Epstein, or trying to cover it up.

NEW: Howard Lutnick, the billionaire who serves as President Trump’s commerce secretary, planned a visit to Epstein’s island in 2012.
Lutnick previously claimed that he was so revolted by Epstein that he had cut ties with him years earlier.

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.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

I don’t want to think about Trump’s latest post about Alex Pretti, but we all must, esp. as funding discussions continue.
The president is talking about the “stock” of a man subjected to an extrajudicial killing by federal agents who threw him to the ground and shot him repeatedly in the back.

Ah, yes, de-escalation, innit?
The USA, where the summary execution of an unarmed man can now be justified by the actual president, because on a separate occasion he kicked the tail light of a "very expensive government vehicle."

Quite literally, there are about a dozen scandals under Trump II that are worse than the worst scandals in all of 🇺🇸 political history. Add in the ongoing familial/personal monetization of the presidency, the violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations with 🇨🇦 & 🇬🇱/🇩🇰, & the murder on the high seas.
Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:
1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens
2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar
3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Don't forget: the largest funding spree for ICE in American history was paid for with the largest cut to health care in American history.
This terror in our streets was no accident. It was in the Republican budget.

The Secretary of Homeland Security is asserting that the Deputy White House Chief of Staff ultimately bears responsibility for the murder of two American citizens, which is something that would normally generate a dozen congressional inquiries.
