Mike Johnson has effectively shut down the government.

The DEA opened an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and a dozen other individuals in 2015 that centered on allegations of money laundering, drug trafficking, and the procurement of Eastern European prostitutes for high-profile clients.

You can't bomb your way out of the Epstein files...

Moulton: He ought to think about the war that he didn't go to. That he allowed another American to go to in his place when he dodged the draft, making up some excuse about a sore foot so that he didn't go have to go serve in Vietnam. There is an example of a war where we sought regime change

Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

CBS would not allow Stephen Colbert to do an interview with James Talarico, or even mention his name. This is Colbert's , response, and the interview is in the comments. 😈👏 youtu.be/oh7DPSP65JA?...

CBS censored this because Lord Goldemort’s minions did not want it shown. It would be a shame if it went viral. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

If you needed any more proof that this country is now being run by authoritarians, here's one more. #Pinks #ProudBlue www.rawstory.com/fbi-bca-shoo...

Leaving Minneapolis was the least they can do. They terrorized a city for weeks and left 2 dead and we have no idea if there is a real investigation into any of it. Noem must go. ICE, CBP, and DHS should be stripped to the studs if not dismantled completely. A culture this broken cannot be fixed.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution. She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence.

Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."

"I just walked out of DOJ after seeing the unredacted Epstein files." This Trump-run DOJ acts like it has something to hide. When redactions are "extremely unnecessary" & Pam Bondi tracks which members search which files, that's not transparency. That's protection for the powerful. Full disclosure.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

I am regularly asked what specifically blue states and Congress should do to protect the midterm elections. Here you go, I list and explain them one by one. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

A federal judge ruled in favor of Kelly Thursday, finding that Hegseth violated the senator’s constitutional rights by attempting to downgrade his rank and retirement benefits. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/judge-r...

The more we learn, the worse it gets. We have a felonious pedo in the WH, a legion of others involved, a corrupt FBI leader, & a corrupt DOJ leader. They don’t care about the survivors at all. Nor do they care about those who didn’t survive. They are all guilty.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity. America deserves better.

🧵 1/3. Are you curious about anyone in your state taking donations from CORECIVIC, one of the private prison operators who is making money hand over fist with their private concentration camps? You can look up by state to see who took how much in 2022 and 2024.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

There are a growing number of reports of agents impersonating construction workers, delivery drivers & anti-ICE activists, heightening fears in the state. That's deceptive & unconstitutional, because they use trickery to get around warrant & consent protections.

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

Rep. @reprashida.govpeeps.us : “A whistle and a cell phone — that’s all our residents are using to protect themselves in the streets… they’re making money off our babies being imprisoned.” (H/T @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social )

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

There is no reforming this. DHS must be destroyed, root and branch, and the earth underneath it salted.

Little break for you folks :) youtu.be/dpd0L9IGJeo?...

Look at these sickening pedo emails. Why are they protecting these people? Why did Kash say there was no trafficking going on? Why do Republicans not care? @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett @RepOgles @SenatorHagerty @RepJohnRose

We already live in a surveillance state. ICE lets its agents wear masks so they can’t be identified; meanwhile, they scan our faces. They know who we are, where we’ve been, and who we’re connected to. They’re openly building a 24/7 social media surveillance operation. 1/2

Epstein committed horrific crimes for years while closely associated with the felon. Pretending the felon knew nothing is willful blindness. Anyone so tied to that world must be investigated and held accountable if the evidence proves complicity.

The Epstein files are getting worse - Coffeezilla Link to the files in a searchable database jmail.world/drive/ youtu.be/YDfDWDTIg0E?...

When a Midwestern city looks like a war zone because the federal government is attacking people indiscriminately in the streets, it's time to act! From buying whistles to manning a phone bank to showing up for protests, we must take action to resist #ICELawlessness. In this🧵, learn & share ideas.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

UTAH auto body shop owner: “You guys broke the fucking window to get in here! Where is your warrant??” Trump’s ICE goons: “Yes we did… We don’t need one.” 🤔 Rights are gone under this regime. (From Somali Snaps: www.instagram.com/reel/DUKpzuS...)

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing. She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

“This isn’t a moment, it’s a movement”

This should piss everyone off, and our tax dollars paid for this. A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants. Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

So weird that the guy they chose to direct the Melania Bribe-Umentary was a Me Too-canceled has been pictured with Epstein and another Epstein-backed child sex trafficker who also *killed himself* in prison So many coincidences!

The director of Melania movie

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

Trump announced today that he was going to keep housing prices up, sued the US taxpayers for $10B, threatened Canada, made a few dozen posts about how he won in 2020, posted about prosecuting Obama for treason, then went to a movie about his wife that Bezos spent $75 million on.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

Violence and impunity are baked into the Custom and Border Patrol’s culture. Now, we’re all seeing—and feeling—what border communities have known for decades. trib.al/fzQvFbj
