I’m shocked Trump didn’t block this. It’s exactly the kind of history he wants to whitewash.
Thousands of pages dropped on how the DOJ, FBI, and Civil Rights Commission handled Emmett Till’s murder.
REMINDER: It all began with a lie from a white woman that became a death sentence for a Black kid.

Yep, I reported this several weeks ago. William Pulte, a Trump loyalist, is using the FHFA bureaucracy to help Trump gin up fake pretexts for prosecutions of his enemies.
One former IG told me: “From beginning to end, this process is highly irregular."

I agree with this statement 100%. I have heard similar things.
I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."
That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

I've tried to go further than this and point out that the public rejects the core MAGA ideology driving mass deportations at a very deep level. Trump admitting that deportations hurt the economy showed that MAGA politics on this is unsustainable. Dems blowing this:
