As people comb the Epstein files for some crime they can get Trump on I’m thinking about how he was found with boxes of stolen top secret files in his possession and somehow that ended up being impossible to prosecute.

Reminder that Bari Weiss held the 60 Minutes piece on migrant gulags with the suggestion that Stephen Miller (whose number she has) should comment. Maybe if 60 Minutes could just post this video alongside the story, it would meet Weiss's vaunted editorial standards.
White House Senior Advisor Stephen Miller has spent years weaponizing hatred to become the mastermind of Trump’s crackdown on marginalized groups.

Zeteo traces his most hateful, strange, and downright cringey moments along the way.

Earlier this year, Matt Yglesias and Hakeem Jeffries urged progressives to shut up about immigration and Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Yglesias said "bad groups" were pushing Dems left on immigration and would help Trump's numbers.

The Susie Wiles story feels like one of those campaign embed stories that are written on the agreement that they won’t be published until after the election. What was the agreement here?

Trump’s Rob Reiner comment was low even for him, but it’s the week of Epstein Files release and Affordable Care deadline, so look for more stupid Trump stuff to distract you from that.

Epstein. Health care. Eye on the ball.

I think this is probably a new era of grand jury practice where there is communal awareness of abusive policing.

The GJ just doesn't believe the state.

I'm not an expert on the history of grand juries, but my sense is that this is the first time we are seeing that phenomenon at scale.
JUST IN: Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Snell just confirmed, at the prodding of U.S. Magistrate Judge Keri Holleb Hotaling, that this motion for dismissal followed a "no bill" from a grand jury.

That means the grand jury refused to indict.
U.S. prosecutors in Chicago are dropping another case tied to Operation Midway Blitz, "without prejudice."

It's USA v. Nathan Griffin. Below is the motion, followed by excerpts from the complaint.

The feds don't say why they're dropping it, but they had until today to secure an indictment.

Voting for Trump fundamentally means you lack the capacity to onboard information
81% of the surveyed Latinos who voted for Trump still approve of his job performance.
For the first time in nearly two decades of our surveys of U.S. Latinos, most say they think the situation of Hispanics in this country has worsened in the last year. And about a third of Latinos say they have considered leaving the country in the last six months. www.pewresearch.org/...

1) Farmers overwhelmingly voted for Trump here in Wisconsin.
2) Many directed their venom at needy families who receive welfare to make ends meet.
3) Trump tariffs buried farmers here, despite the damn warnings.
4) Farmers are now receiving welfare from the government.
5) Fuck these people.

Your fellow reporter just got blasted on national TV by the president of the United States as "obnoxious" and "terrible" -- and you follow it up with a crappy question about the midterms, which are 11 months away.

You might want to think about another line of work. You aren't cut out for this.
