Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

2/ The primary way to get to Trump is at his golf clubs. Reportedly, a $5 million donation to Trump's political operation gets you a one-on-one meeting. $1 million will get you a group private dinner.
Putting a price on a one-on-one meeting isn't normal.

The story of how Trump sells access to the White House - to benefit himself and his family financially and to benefit his political operation - is shocking and sordid.
No President has ever monetized access like Trump has.

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas
According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

Trump is now posting private mortgage documents from Adam Schiff, and I URGE people who have less self-control than Pavlov's dogs to EMPHASIZE that it is likely a crime for him to have accessed these docs, if you do post them.

I wore my dead dog’s bow tie to the Emmys last night. I only own one bow tie. And I couldn’t find it anywhere. I was about to ditch the tux for a suit when my wife found this bow tie that Porter wore for an animal charity event a decade ago. Miss you, bud. Thanks for the bow tie.

To this day, we don't know whether the Maxwell prosecution, along with the Rudy investigations, were among the things that Bill Barr was trying to kill by firing Geoffrey Berman in 2020.
So Trump has a problem when he's elected last year. What to do about Ghislaine Maxwell, who is appealing her sentence?
First he attempts to put someone who HIMSELF was accused of sleeping w/underaged woman as AG, Gaetz. Then he installed someone who, as FL AG, didn't pursue Epstein herself, Bondi.

Ben Schrader is the former federal prosecutor who resigned around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in May.

Of the infinite reasons Bove should be rejected, one I can't stop thinking abt. Fed judges aren't req'd to be members of a state bar. Pres can't pardon away prof'l ethics offenses. But he can give them lifetime appts that make bar licensure unnecessary. It makes his lawyers effectively undeterrable.
Justice Connection sent a letter signed by 900+ former DOJ attorneys urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to rigorously examine Emil Bove’s assault on the department and rule of law before voting on a lifetime judicial appointment.

When people clamor for contempt, it's really about their frustration with the process, like how time works against them and for the bad guys, and how appeals courts often stay lower court rulings, and how nobody in power ever really pays. Seemingly.
