Marimar Martinez talks about being shot by CBP: “My arms, legs, and chest were all wrapped in bandages. I had 7 bullet holes in my body. I remember the agents rushing the nurses to finish up so they could take me with them.”

What I found today in The Epstein Files open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

MeidasTouch sent a reporter to look for waste, fraud, and abuse behind the Melania movie. Here’s what we found.

Goldman Sachs' top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler accepted gifts from late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and advised him on how to address press inquiries regarding his crimes, according to a Reuters review of emails among millions of documents the U.S. Department of Justice released last week.

BREAKING: Rep Ted Lieu just called for Deputy AG Todd Blanche’s resignation, and points out why partying with Epstein actually would be illegal.

In an interview on NPR's Wild Card podcast, Melinda French Gates reacts to her ex-husband, Bill Gates, being mentioned in the most recent release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. See the clip.

Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.

Trump is working hard to set/reinforce a frame that connects immigration, financial fraud, & election fraud. He and the right wing propaganda machine will keep producing “evidence” to fit this frame, then use it to justify attempts to suppress voters, kick voters off rolls, and delegitimize results.

Troublemaker is my middle name.

Lindsey Graham: "You jammed me. Speaker Johnson, I won't forget this."

Q: Amazon paid $75m to make & market this film. It's an exorbitant fee. Many Americans think this is Bezos trying to get in good w/ you & they would call it corruption TRUMP: Who are you with? Q: The New York Times T: Fake news New York Times. I'm not involved w/ that. That was done with my wife

The biggest lie in the Epstein coverup is that Epstein and Maxwell were the only rich and powerful people who abused young girls. Maxwell is now saying others were involved. We need to find out names on Feb 9 during her deposition. All of these names are in the Epstein files.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The date for the next No Kings Day is set. But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Within 4 hours of ICE (actually CBP) killing Alex Pretti, the data suggested that the right wing spin machine was having trouble gaining traction, even on their home turf over on X. Here's a Substack I wrote analyzing X data from that time. katestarbird.substack.com/p/another-mu...

minneapolis is a warning sign. how the system responds now will say a lot about the future of us democracy. @gzeromedia.com

Trump regime ICE forces are mutilating unarmed civilians. Regime forces are firing kinetic impact projectiles at close range, causing severe injuries that can result in permanent disability or death. Today, they tore off part of a woman’s hand. #3E #GoodvsEvil

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

I respond to some so-called Second Amendment defenders who are justifying the shooting of Alex. The Second Amendment protects citizens from the state—it does not give the state a license to kill. (Link to full video) open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Fox News is defending feds killing another Minnesotan: "They are literally enforcing the law. These are targeted interactions, these are targeted operations. They are simply doing their jobs."

I worked with the UKs SAS in Iraq. Trump is an idiot and Americans respect and appreciate the UKs friendship

Minnesota is the best of us.

Release the Epstein files. All of them.

Thank y'all for the kind words good vibes and cussing on my behalf today 🫶🏽

Jack Smith: "The people who assaulted police officers and were convicted after trial in my view and I think in the view of the judges who sentenced them to prison are dangerous to their community. Some of these people have already committed crimes against their communities again."

Nehls: I would like to quickly address the police officers from January 6th. And I can tell you that the fault does not lie with Donald Trump. It lies with the US capitol leadership team. Fanone: *Coughs: Go fuck yourself*

Jack Smith: "Trump was charged bc the evidence established he willfully broke the law -- the very laws he took an oath to uphold... After leaving office, Trump illegally kept classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago social club... highly sensitive natl security info was held in a ballroom & bathroom."

"I don't understand where the humanity is right now." –Jon Favreau on the response to Renee Good's shooting.

Not sure she is a good guard dog.

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️
