WATCH — @balint.house.gov on the unredacted Epstein files: “There’s a bunch of sick fucks… so many people knew…. Trump never kicked Epstein out of Mar-A-Lago. That’s a lie.” (From @dropsitenews.com )

Sorry to be Radical Left but I don't think we should put people who haven't committed a crime, and aren't even accused of committing a crime, into any sort of "Detention"

isn't being "pro-growth" and anti-regulation just being a republican?

When a headline says it all:

Ossoff: We would be naive not to expect dirty tricks. This man tried to steal the presidency when he lost it the first time. The best insurance against dirty tricks is landslide margins of victory.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

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."

"This isn’t some fringe effort. From the tradwife explosion to MAHA disinformation about birth control, conservatives are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into convincing the next generation that the rapid erosion of their rights isn’t a political and moral crisis—but a lifestyle upgrade."

WATCH: “Where’s my kid gonna go, Gino? He’s in Kindergarten.” Rep. Gino Bulso’s HB 1491 requires Tennessee public schools to teach the Bible in K-12 — he defends it by saying parents can “opt out”, but doesn’t seem to have thought through what that actually means for young kids.

Sen. Ron Wyden is “following the money” trail on Epstein. This is one of the most informative interviews I’ve ever watched by Professor Richardson. Rated “Wow!” @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/FMmhGzZ...

OK, but Trump was president when the 2020 election happened, so isn't the notion that Venezuela interfered an indictment of his national security apparatus?

If the US did what the French are doing right now, the effects on Twitter and Facebook would be enormous.

“Raskin also said that he saw ‘references to 17-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 11-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls, and I saw a reference today to a 9-year-old girl. So it is a really gruesome and grim story.’“ www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Breaking MS NOW: Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise. Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.

@democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @shaheen.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @coons.senate.gov If YOU ALL don't want to be painted with the same brush as Republicans allowing CONCENTRATION CAMPS in America with OUR MONEY, VOTE NO ON FUNDING. Break out TSA & FEMA!

Lord love a duck, they'll be rated for 70,000 people but trump's gestapo can stuff easily 4 times that in them if they ignore all safety regulations and sanitary conditions, like they've already been doing. NO medical oversight is the standard. No Congressional oversight. What could go wrong?

No money for healthcare, food or FEMA assistance but we have concentration camps aplenty.

It’s 100% clear that anyone they consider a dissident will be thrown in there.

For the infirm and mentally ill.

I’ve seen a lot of questions on these lines, and the quick answer is that once the federal government purchases the property (including the land the warehouse sits on), local governments cannot regulate them or tax them. They are now federal properties and so the Supremacy Clause applies.

ICE is likely paying a premium to get the deal through quickly. E.g., in Hamburg, PA, the warehouse was purchased in 2024 for $57.5 million and sold to ICE for $87 million. The real profit will come with the private prison companies and contractors hired to refurbish and staff these facilities.

Crucially, many local governments are furious with ICE over these purchases, because they were not consulted or even told. Because they are federal property now, it's taking a commercial property off the tax rolls while likely imposing dramatic additional infrastructure costs.

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in: - Hagerstown, MD: $102 million - Surprise, AZ: $70 million - Hamburg, PA: $87 million - Tremont, PA: $120 million - San Antonio, TX: $82 million - El Paso, TX: $123 million - Social Circle, GA: price unknown This is unprecedented.

Purchasing and converting these warehouse detention camps will cost the U.S. government billions of dollars. So far ICE has purchased at least half a dozen warehouses at a cost of $70-$110 million each. It'll cost billions more to refit them into detention camps, and hire staff.

The closest modern historical parallel is the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay for intercepted Cubans and Haitians during the HW Bush and Clinton administrations, where at maximum capacity roughly 12,000 migrants were detained. But those migrants were never in the physical US.

The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people. The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.

Right now Rikers Island, the physically largest jail in the entire United States, is holding under 7,000 people. ICE's warehouse plans include detention camps which will hold between 8,500-10,000 people in buildings not designed for human habitation.

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Trump’s best friend Jeff Epstein was worried about Trump’s dementia way back in 2017. How bad do you think it is now?

“I’ve got children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren at home. I’m old. I just want to be around them. But I’m not; I’m here, in Mexico.”

“I’ve lost everything. I’m old. I don’t want to be hiding anything,” [Luis Perez] said. “So I speak up. If I die, I die.”

Ghislaine Maxwell pleaded the 5th Amendment today and refused to answer questions because the President is waving a pardon over her head. In no way should she ever be pardoned. I call on the President to firmly commit to never pardoning her. The victims deserve justice.

“ICE messed with the wrong profession.” National Nurses United is honoring ICU nurse Alex Pretti after his killing by federal agents—and joining calls to abolish ICE. @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social reports on-the-ground from the D.C. vigil.

🚨 BREAKING News: An internal DHS document shows that less than 14% of nearly 400,000 individuals arrested by ICE in President Trump's first year back in power had violent criminal records. It's the most detailed look yet at who ICE has arrested. | CBS News www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arr...

“Abolish ICE” has gone from a fringe demand to a logical imperative. The more Republicans cling to ICE, the more public support they will lose. buff.ly/37Hfr96

Secretary Howard Lutnick lied to the country about his ties to Epstein. Now we learned that they were in business together. He has no business being our Commerce Secretary. He should resign. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Steve Bannon was convicted in 2022 on two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to testify before the House January 6 committee.

"The Epstein class" is a global rot In Europe, ties to Jeffrey Epstein are ending careers, sparking spy probes, and possibly toppling governments In America, not so much. How the lack of elite accountability became the tipping point for democracy. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/jeff...

worst Mortal Kombat roster of all time

CNN: “Maxwell can clear Trump’s name in exchange for clemency, attorney says” 🤔 Translation: they think we are all idiots

Louisiana special election: "Trump carried this district by 13 points in the 2024 cycle, fueling GOP hopes about flipping the state House seat. Instead, the Democratic nominee prevailed — by 24 points." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The “don’t give the abusive and extremely alcoholic husband a reason to beat you” mentality is only normalized when it comes to One side today, and that’s just a fact

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country

🚨 A coalition of House Democrats is sounding the alarm over new U.S. Postal Service changes. They say a new program could put millions of voters at risk in the 2026 midterm elections, particularly in rural communities and states with strict election deadlines.

Control of the House isn't going to come down to a small number of close races; the military seizing ballots would lead to riots in the streets; the "incumbent Republican majority" will be dissolved on January 3rd so it won't be there to do anything. It's a nightmare in that it's entirely made up.
