Deporting millions of undocumented immigrants who have built lives in America (a) is morally indefensible, and (b) will probably make the housing shortage *worse* because so much of the construction workforce is undocumented.
everyone keeps dancing around it but JD Vance keeps trotting out the “immigrants are taking our housing“ because it’s a nativist blood libel he’s engineering alongside eg “they eat our pets” but, more specifically, it is to legitimize the dispossession, en masse, of an entire sub-population.

Ahhh. the Trump/Weisselberg firm of accounting.
The guy who is accusing Eric Swalwell of mortgage fraud regularly played around with the value of his properties -- raising the valuation to get a bigger loan from a bank, and lowering the value in order to pay less in property taxes.

Seems very good. Is there reason or opportunity here to evoke JE's Clinton connection? He had been publicly connected to the former President and became a proxy for the considerable anger at high levels of the Federal government that still surrounded Clinton. Likewise now, one reason to revive the story is that it is a way to tar a Trump administration official, who, in the normal course of his duties, happened to deal with the case.

Here goes:
"Sweetheart deal! " So goes the critique of the resolution of a long-ago case involving our former client -- and now-friend -- Jeffrey Epstein. The critique is profoundly misplaced, supported neither by the law or the facts, nor by the structure of our constitutional republic. To the contrary, Jeffrey was subjected to an unprecedented federal intrusion into a quintessentially local criminal matter in south Florida. His offense to the social order --involving sex for hire -- was entirely a matter entrusted to laws of the several States, not the federal government. His conduct - a classic state offense --was being treated exactly that way by able, honest prosecutors in Palm Beach County, but the overweening federal government intruded where it did not belong. And now, over ten years after the fact, the current assault on federal decision-makers at the time, including now-Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta (then the United States Attorney in south Flo…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tsveacqzpqosfuahoqgsfu4a/bafkreifar5zmwmxqu4mpkceln5rninlk2kficvndbnp6muhraqfnqtgtm4@jpeg)
