A reminder that in 2022, President Biden signed the “Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act,” eliminating the statute of limitations to file civil action for federal sex offenses. Seems relevant.

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

For those of us who've been paying attention, this has become what we expect, but for a lot of normies, this will read as Anne Frank level Nazi shit and it's breaking through.
Getting new details on this now:

As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.
Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection.

The arrest reportedly took place in front of children.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

This chart—using data from Catalist, in this article by @scottanderson.bsky.social—is a Rosetta Stone for how the presidential map changes over the next decade. We've got to turn WI MI PA blue before 2032—because at that point, they won't be enough to get to 270.

Consumers in America can't stand up to companies now.
Donald did that. He made it easier for them to get away with being terrible.
Of course he likes Wells. They're shysters like he is. & they're shysters with money, so they probably paid Donald bribes.
Wells Fargo scammed millions of people by opening fake accounts. The Trump Administration just reduced a former Wells Fargo exec's $10 million fine to $0.

Trump is making life more affordable for Wall Street executives — and more expensive for everyone else.

Paying soldiers by transferring funds from other accounts is a good stopgap, but it’s not even close to what we required.

My latest in the @thebulwark.com
"Without the civilian workforce, commanders couldn’t move tanks to a maneuver location, manipulate targets on a range, provide fuel for the force, or food in the mess halls."

It also affects many other people, institutions, and services necessary for readiness.

They will. They will come for everyone.
This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

If all of this is a power-grab, let's fucking go.

The problem for Trump’s base is that Trump keeps choosing himself over them.

The problem for Trump is that Trump’s base is more devoted to Q than to him.

SCOTUS is going to hear a case on whether to overturn a 1935 decision that blocked presidents from firing independent regulators based on policy (or personal) disagreements alone.

This is on top of SCOTUS allowing Trump to fire the FTC commissioner, so you can see where this is going.
