Rep. Raskin: “Epstein’s lawyers quoted Trump as saying Jeffrey Epstein was not a member of Mar-a-Lago, but he was a guest at Mar-a-Lago, but had never been asked to leave. That was redacted for some indeterminate, inscrutable reason.”

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.

If the Republican US attorney for the District of Columbia doesn't recognize the Heller decision then no state is under any obligation to do so either
Pirro: "You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding law owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail. And that makes all the difference"

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

I just want to point out that Bovino's response to Bill gives away the underlying worldview: Sympathizing with (black and brown) immigrants over (white) American citizens makes you a (race) traitor, which makes you a part of the "problem" (and thereby deserving of same treatment as the immigrants)
Honored that in his last days of fame and fortune at CBP the disgraced Gregory Bovino chose to attack, among others, me.

Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown.
Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

Any billionaire could fund a local paper in each of 50 biggest metro areas in the country for a century. We need a better class of dynastic oligarch, someone who wants to endow institutions and actually live forever rather than throw gaudy ass Venice second weddings
In absolute earnest: The least bad model for funding journalism at the moment seems to be dynastic wastrels running the family paper out of noblesse oblige as their only real business interest. File with liberal democracy and capitalism under the heading "Worst System Except for All the Others."
