Trump has unleashed a gold rush among private prison companies taking on immigration detention. In cash-strapped cities, like Walsenburg, Colorado, residents aren’t sure the money is worth it.

Hegseth drags hundreds of generals into a secret meeting. No agenda. No answers. Just purges, loyalty tests, and power grabs dressed up as “reform.” This isn’t strategy—it’s a warning siren for democracy.

“You are married to Stephen Miller, so you are the envy of all women,” Watters said. “The sexual matador, right?” she said. (Me thinking: What is a “sexual matador”? And wow, I DO NOT envy her.) www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

Yes I will be fighting back against the unjust firing by @washingtonpost.com. I have filed a grievance and will be represented by none other than the amazing @katiephang.bsky.social and an incredible legal team. Journalistic freedom is a bedrock of a healthy society and is worth battling for.

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Cruel inhumane roundups of undocumented migrant workers by ICE — Nazi Germany had a word for this… KRISTALLNACHT! www.pbs.org/wgbh/america...

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity. "To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

Never forget about the EPSTEIN files and Tom Homan accepting 50 GRAND from the FBI !!!

Abolish ICE

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

CBS, ABC/Disney, FOX, OANN, Newsmax, RSBN, Clear Channel, Sinclair, Twitter, Meta, Truth Social, most of the top political podcasts, and almost every local talk radio show is either owned by a Trump-connected firm, supports him, or has caved to him. Yet they complain about liberal media bias!

Jimmy Kimmel returns tomorrow. This is an important victory for free speech. Remember that it was YOU all using your power TOGETHER that got a gigantic corporation to reverse itself. Bless everyone who participated in telling Mickey Mouse to fuck off.

"We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday." (Unwritten: And, we lost a lot of money). abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/...
