FWIW: Alex Acosta, Bush-era U.S. attorney who negotiated Epstein's sweetheart deal and later became Trump's labor secretary, joined the Newsmax Board of Directors in June.
Newsmax's Greg Kelly on Ghislaine Maxwell: "There's something else going on here. It's an injustice ... people are horrified when I say that this individual just might be innocent. But think about it. Who told us about her? The most reviled institutions in America. The media and the Biden DOJ."

I see a lot of historians showing the clear evidence that a *huge* part of the KKK-wannabe-Nazi regime we're experiencing is a direct result of the country failing to punish confederate racists and traitors after the civil war.
When we let bigots "Paradox of Tolerance" us, this is what happens.

92-year-old Scottish widow Molly Forbes refused to sell her land to Trump for his golf course. In revenge, he blasted floodlights, ran loud machines nonstop, and cut her water and power. She never gave in — right up until her death at age 96.

My beautiful high xp greyhound is showing interest in befriending other hounds after losing her housemate. Due to the drop in available greyhounds in the US, a lot of rescue groups won't accept new adopters or require a fence. <- i have 30 yrs gh exp, never had a fence.

Here’s what RFK Jr. has done since a measles outbreak began which has killed 3 people so far:
1. Buried a CDC report showing need for vaccination
2. Recommended vitamin A, resulting in liver damage in kids
3. Defunded vaccination clinics nationally
4. Hired a fraud to manipulate vaccine data

It'd be really nice if lawyers would stop reminding us why the "lawyers suck" jokes are accurate
Hearing that firms are caving left and right after Paul Weiss. Many are eliminating all litigation and representation that is adverse to the Trump administration, including amicus briefs. Nonprofits and law clinics are next. We are watching the end of the rule of law in real time.

Have also heard that the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman, which has specific oversight authority over ICE detention, has also been completely gutted and largely destroyed by a Reduction in Force.
A disaster for oversight. I've also heard that the USCIS Ombudsman's office, which is the customer-facing office to resolve issues at the immigration benefits agency, is being gutted as well.
BREAKING — The DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties is being eliminated entirely via Reduction in Force (RIF), an agency source tells me. Staff have not been given reassignment options. Functions of the office will supposedly be assigned to other offices.
