Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

It's clear that Trump is not just targeting criminals in his deportation efforts. This is so incredibly troubling. A loved one can leave the house...and whooossshhh...disappear, likely never to be seen again.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

The Trump regime’s secret police continue to kidnap people across the US. Here they kidnapped a PHD Student Rumeysa Ozturk in broad daylight for publishing an article last year, critical of Israel’s war crimes in Gaza.

Wolff: Certainly 80, 90, probably 100 hours I have of Epstein on tape. We spent a lot of time talking about Donald Trump and Epstein’s relationship with him, which went on for a good 15 years and was incredibly close—they were each other’s closest friend for a very long time.
