Truly a mystery

"Newly released records show a US citizen was shot and killed in Texas by a federal immigration agent last year during a late-night traffic encounter that was not publicly disclosed by the Department of Homeland Security." What else are they hiding? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Incredibly important for the public to see what’s on that video. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/u...

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

Rand Paul to ICE officials on moments before Pretti's killing: "No one in America believes that shoving that woman's face in the snow was deescalation." Note that ICE officials then confirm it was improper for her to be thrown down.

The potential foreign agent was Saudi foreign agent Jared Kushner. I mean, I was betting on Roger Stone but this is actually far more problematic.

Massie: "Here is an email that was sent by the victims' lawyers to the DOJ. It was a list of names not to release. What did the DOJ do with this email? They released it! Literally the worst thing you could do the survivors you did."

Cohen to Bondi: "You tried to investigate Ms. Good's widow and you tried to investigate Mr. Pretti. They were executed like Kristi Noem executed her dog."

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

Goldman: "Will the survivors and victims who are here please stand up one more time. By show of hands, how many of you or your loved ones actually have met with the DOJ? None ... How many of you were ignored by the DOJ? All of them." (Bondi responds by smearing Goldman.)

Yaaaaasssss!!

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

Read this whole thread!

Trump shows up over a million times in the unredacted Epstein files. And that's the half they released. Imagine what's in the half they didn't release. That means that the DOJ redacted Trump's name about 950K times in the 3M documents they released. www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

Sounds like these numbers are going to fucking suck.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors "As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

No more presumption of regularity.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) reacted to Trump personal attorney-turned Deputy AG Todd Blanche discussing the DOJ's intention to appeal the judges decision releasing Liam Ramos. "Why is the Trump Administration fighting harder to arrest 5-year-old children than pedophiles in the Epstein files?" he posted

Evil.

Federal judge: "The presumption of regularity that has previously extended to [the United States Government] that it could be taken at its word—with little doubt about its intentions and stated purposes—no longer holds." This is in a case where the Trump admin sued Oregon.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March

The entire press corps should walk out, not come back, & we simply shouldn’t tolerate this. Months of “Joe Biden won’t do a press conference.” A nonstop national story. Same with Harris in Aug/Sep 2024 & interviews. Trump does this stuff & everyone shrugs. It’s appalling.

This is sad, but good: Artists are refusing to normalize this idiocy, and instead of just commanding performances - which they can't do - the Trump people are closing it down and slinking away.

Chris Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "If you're a conservative in this country, you should care about the fact that your govt is intentionally hurting kids. You should care about the fact that this govt is violating the 4th, 2nd, and 1st Amendment every single day. This is a lawless administration."

Yes, we need ALL the Epstein files.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Trover: It happens all the time. Joe Biden's wealth increase while he was in office. Mockler: Joe Biden's wealth increased from $8 million to $11 million because of investments. Donald Trump’s wealth increased by $4 billion in one year.

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

A rape allegation against the president involving a 13-year-old girl was part of an explosive new tranche of documents released regarding Jeffrey Epstein.

Last week a border patrol agent was filmed pepper-spraying a detained protester at point-blank range. @pacantifa.is identified agent as Tyler Gramlin. For @us.theguardian.com I asked Gramlin for comment. His response? He sent me a weird far-right "Amelia" meme. "DEFEND YOUR HOMELAND," it said.

More images of this agent “NS-919,” one of two who shot Pretti and a main instigator of the Pretti incident— from January 21. NS-919 pushed the woman that started the Pretti violence on January 24.

"Also note that MS NOW’s Carol Leonnig is reporting that career prosecutors in Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in the prosecution of Lemon" So who presented this to a grand jury, in criminal violation of the First Amendment? Lindsey Halligan?

Jack Smith has Jeffrey Clark/Scott Perry texts admitting there was NO foreign election interference in 2020 per a briefing from DNI Ratcliffe January 2nd, 2021 per Volume I of his final report. DNI Gabbard is going to try to create foreign interference where DNI Ratcliffe failed. @raskin.house.gov

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.

Arresting journalists doing their jobs, sending the DNI to raid election offices in GA, unleashing fed agents that kill Americans & then cover it up. Trump’s authoritarian takeover is quickening. We must respond like the people of Minneapolis —peacefully but with fierce urgency.

The new Epstein files production features numerous allegations made against Donald Trump and others.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

Rand Paul: "After seeing this, if you call this a good shooting you aren't watching the video. This was a real tragedy and a mistake. The man had been disarmed and then shot 10 times ... if we say things that are obviously not true, the situation is going to get worse."

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war? RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

Rand Paul: "There has to be an investigation. I don't know who trusts an investigation done by DHS when they're the ones calling this person an 'assassin,' a 'domestic terrorist,' saying he was assaulting police. How can they be in charge of an independent investigation? Something's got to happen."

This is what letting RFK jr go wild on health looks like

NEW: For 40 days, the DOJ has been violating federal law by postponing the full release of the Epstein Files — and according to a recent court filing, it doesn’t seem poised to break that record any time soon. ✍️ Natalie Hausmann

Chief Judge Schilitz of MN (Scalia clerk) orders ICE director Todd Lyons to appear before him Friday. Says his "patience is at an end." Says his order to release or hold bail hearing for a detainee was defied as have dozens of other such orders. 1/2

Stephen Miller, Not (Just) Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino, Must Be Held Accountable www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/26/s...

I have been waiting for this signal from Senator Rand Paul. Senator Paul, Chairman of Senate Homeland Security Committee follows House committee. Sends letters to heads of ICE, CBP, USCIS to testify in public hearing.
