Virginia Giuffre’s brother: Calling it a hoax is a complete disgrace to everything that my sister has worked for, everything these survivors have worked for and continue to fight for… And that feels very uncompassionate coming from somebody that’s the leader of our country.

We previously found that the Trump administration knew the vast majority of the 230+ Venezuelan men deported to El Salvador had not been convicted of violent crimes.
Our latest analysis reveals another jarring reality: that most of the men were already moving through the U.S. immigration system.

Like most of the more than 230 Venezuelan men deported to a Salvadoran prison, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas had followed U.S. immigration rules. Then Trump rewrote them.

‘Time for some traffic problems on the bridge’ is a proven loser’s strategy.
Ron DeSantis stranded drivers at a bridge with no warning just to stop rainbow colors from appearing on it.
1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride.
So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels.
They opened the drawbridge to block them.
So they marched to a different bridge.

Trump's anti-market economic worldview on display. He believes that spending money is a sign of weakness. This is the same logic as his claim that last week that the precipitous decline in shipping volumes at the country's ports is "a good thing, not a bad thing," because "we lose less money."/1
