ICE just released new detention statistics. First update in about 2 months. As of April 4, 2026, ICE was detaining 60,311 people across the United States. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...

i really love the term "slopaganda" for generative ai stuff made by governments especially

i spent months alongside some really dope, smart colleagues working on this and i hope you'll give it a read. we go in depth talking to tons of judges and analyzing data from the immigration courts to understand how the current administration has reshaped the system to align to their agenda.

our gas price map (by county) is still updating daily and since we first pubbed eight days ago prices have risen 13 cents a gallon on average (3.4 percent).

the president putting his name at the end of his social media posts reads very much like your parents signing their texts to you. like, i know who this is, your number is in my phone.

i have no inside knowledge of anything, to be clear, but when i see something line this i always assume that someone has a story forthcoming

Perhaps Trump should have read the terms he agreed to

It’s in the agreement you keep calling a hoax. Maybe try reading it.

Epstein survivor texts me to say “what a bizarre thing” for the First Lady to do

NEW: Epstein survivor Dani Bensky, “It’s great to hear Melania Trump acknowledge the devastating harm to survivors But we need a serious legal mechanism that gets to the truth without putting survivors in harms way.”

A very “bizarre” day for the First Lady of the United States She re-inflames the Epstein crisis for the Administration Tonight’s edition of “Scott MacFarlane Reports” youtu.be/pO4f9Oog8PQ?...

If you want to save your eyesight: Trump is upset with “low IQ nut jobs”Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones.

PS. Hawking her book while talking about sex trafficking was also a choice

Coming in hot

GOOD TO SEE dem leadership bringing up the 25th amendment and other accountability mechanisms!

I don't think she's long for the job. Might be the next cabinet member to go. Also on the potential chopping block: Lutnick and Gabbard. I always thought it'd be Patel. We'll find out soon!

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that Trump released a series of deranged Truth Social posts right after Melania did a surprise “press conference” on Epstein without telling him.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Melania Trump said in a news conference Thursday that she has no ties with Epstein.

Nobody has never not known Jeffery Epstein like Melania has no known Jeffery Epstein. Nobody's ever seen anything like it.

Epstein Survivors to Melania: Fook Awf

Melania Trump denies ties to Epstein associate. Documents suggest otherwise.

Former first lady Hillary Clinton testified under oath before Congress about the Epstein matter even though she never even met Jeffrey Epstein. Current first lady Melania Trump partied with Epstein. She needs to testify under oath before Congress.

This is getting confusing. Is the Iran war a distraction from Epstein? Or is Epstein now a distraction from the Iran war?

The president—who said he did not know his wife was holding a press conference saying she hadn't been sex trafficked by Epstein because he was too busy in meeting about war—had time to write a dissertation about rightwing influencers this morning

LATEST: The Straits of Hormuz would like all speculation linking it to figures implicated in the Epstein files to cease.

Melania actually made herself useful today by bringing the pdfiles back to the front of people's minds. She's lying about her ties to Epstein and Maxwell. #ReleaseThePdfiles

First Lady's press conference was stunning. She called for a hearing with survivors. This is the same administration that has called this investigation a hoax. Acting AG Todd Blanche said DOJ was not moving forward on any part of the Epstein investigation.

TRUMP: Melania didn't know Epstein. TRUMP TRANSLATOR: She definitely, 100% knew him well

I never had sex with Epstein. Read my book if you need evidence.

Trump has a complete meltdown hours after Melania's surprise Epstein press conference.

Did ya happen to notice that, while *attempting to* distance herself from Epstein and Maxwell, Melania did nothing of the sort for Trump?

Thanks to Melania for re-centering Epstein!

I do not know this man Epstein. Nobody talk like that. Get dirty thoughts out of heads. Everybody to stop saying that I was Jeff's girlfriend and that donald bought me from him. Not true. Stop talking with the nonsense. Look over there.

Trump wasn't given a heads-up about Melania's public announcement on Epstein. Trump distracted the nation for 6 weeks w/ a disastrous, unwinnable war in Iran. MAGA is breaking over it & failed promises. So, Melania decides to bring it back in focus by distancing herself from Epstein. Love it.

It appears we are right back to where we were, demanding the release of the Epstein files.

Thanks to Melania for re-centering Epstein!

I didn’t know Epstein

weve looped around to them trying to use epstein stuff as a distraction from iran lol

So she saw her approval rating and decided she would try ticking them up by talking about Epstein? Win win situation for her

While I am absolutely loathe to do so, I have to thank Melania for getting people to start talking about the Epstein files again.

They're talking about Epstein to distract from the Iran War disaster

When the Iran narrative collapses so spectacularly that the counter‑move is “fine, let’s talk about Epstein,” you really don’t need further analysis.

Trump's three angry Truth Social posts in the last hour suggest he may not be too happy about Melania's statement on Epstein. Melania doesn't bother defending her husband. And isn't her reminder that Epstein didn't act alone an encouragement to look again into what Donald was up to with his pal?

Hey Melania – Tell us you're deep in the Epstein class while trying to distance yourself from the Epstein class. "Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach." Melania Trump

Melania putting Epstein back in the news despite the war is something.

Unless I missed it, the one thing Melania didn't do is say definitively that her husband didn't do anything wrong relating to Epstein. Like it was fully a defense of her and her alone.

These 2 things happened, one right after the other. Trump tells NBC that Israeli is “scaling back” Lebanon war. “I spoke with Bibi and he’s going to low-key it." Also: Netanyahu issues statement: “There is no ceasefire in Lebanon” www.bloomberg.com/news/live-bl... www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/t...
