This is a good example of the fear that ICE has engendered in so many. A man here completely legally with nothing (on paper) to fear from ICE took off running when they showed up at a gas station and was struck by a passing truck. Awful.

When killing a human isn’t a mistake it’s called a murder.

Holy shit, we're actually getting there. "UCLA researchers develop low-cost blood test to detect multiple cancers and other diseases from a single sample [—] In tests, MethylScan detected about 63% of cancers across all stages and roughly 55% of early-stage cancers." (from April) #ShareGoodNewsToo

Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) to Sirius/XM Channel 124 about Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) health "I haven't heard a thing. Not an email, not a letter, not a call, not a video... absolutely nothing.... It's concerning."

Todd Blanche’s grotesque ambition is on full display. But many don’t know what happened behind closed doors when he met with several Epstein survivors. Sky and Amanda Roberts join me with the details, incl. the jaw-dropping moment Blanche disrespected Virginia’s memory. youtu.be/R9NNhQlgZYc?...

Netanyahu has regularly attended the annual UN General Assembly in New York City, but Mayor Zohran Mamdani has suggested he could be arrested at September’s event.

Today, 7/20, is the deadline for Acting AG Todd Blanche to respond to my latest filing demanding: *specific documents from the Epstein Files be produced in the judge's chambers AND *for Blanche to pay a $1000 fine/day until he complies with the rest of the preliminary injunction entered in my favor

BREAKING NYT: Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters.

Well that makes sense of the murder spree. Prosecute everyone.

Such a clown

Beyond absurd. A budget is a moral document.

This smoke is a big f*cking deal. Worse than you can imagine. "The cost of climate-worsened wildfire smoke alone is larger than what earlier studies said every other estimated cost of climate change would be, combined." Read @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social: heatmap.news/daily/worryi...

Just a reminder: This Oklahoma Plumber (pictured here hiding from Jan 6 terrorists) is the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Jon Ossoff sums it up: “This is the cruelest & most arrogant group of people who ever ascended to high office - their cruelty & arrogance are only matched by their incompetence."

EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch has learned new details of what really happened inside Todd Blanche's meeting with Epstein survivors today. One survivor noted Blanche was "abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal." Here are the full details.

When we have fires in the US, Canada sent help. When Canada has fires, Trump threatens them with tariffs. What an asshole.

Irony dies

Ballou on Epstein Files Lawsuit: The judge ordered them to produce these foreign-language documents, and the DOJ’s response was, “Look, Judge, we told Congress that we weren’t going to follow this part of the law, and Congress didn’t do anything.” That’s not how the law—or any law—works.

​Five words from 'abrasive' Todd Blanche left Epstein survivors 'feeling betrayed': report www.rawstory.com/blanche-gasl...

I worked with Todd Blanche at SDNY. He shouldn’t be AG. Two years ago, I warned he’d become Trump’s Roy Cohn for a top job. Now Cohn’s playbook is DOJ practice: Deny facts. Defy courts. Target political enemies. Congress will confirm him. Defending the rule of law is up to us.

If the FBI could dismantle the American mob, using the RICO law and giving immunity to low level informants, and investigating the money trail, why can’t Todd Blanche and Kash Patel put the weight of the DOJ and FBI to investigate the Epstein organization? This is absurd.

Todd Blanche only met with Epstein survivors after facing political pressure. When he finally did meet with them? He was "abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal." One survivor called the meeting "demoralizing to say the least." He is unfit to lead the DOJ.

MAINE— Killer ICE Agent’s ex: “He wanted me to lie about his character. I won’t. He abused me and my daughter… I’ve waited years to speak my truth, and now a man is dead.” They are hiring the worst of the worst.

NEWS: Epstein survivors just gave Todd Blanche a failing grade after their meeting. "Condescending." "Gaslighting." No plan to go after anyone beyond Epstein and Maxwell. And Sen. Tillis's reaction? Somehow worse.

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

Incredible reporting here

Florida resident who illegally ran to be an Alabama senator should shut his stupid pie hole about people getting senate seats illegally.

Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

Blanche is only meeting with Epstein survivors to get Tillis' vote. He doesn't give a shit about the Epstein survivors. If he did, the proper thing to do would be to release the Epstein files, investigate, and jail Epstein's co-conspirators.

FLAG: Karoline Leavitt would not say whether Trump will accept the results of the midterms.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

This is how Trump rigs the US prosecutors. He just fired a legitimate US prosecutor assigned by federal judges in Seattle. He dominates an interim prosecutor, then lets the term run out without Senate confirmation, then assigns him as an assistant US prosecutor. Not legal or constitutional.

Blanche’s confirmation hearing comes days after a federal judge referred him to the state Bar for disciplinary action.
