The Battle of the Bulge Episode 6: Patton's Army On the Move

Massie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

In the wake of a flood of DOGE directives, Executive Orders, and memos, the pace of changes to the federal workplace has been difficult to record & understand. That’s why we built a tool to track changes, help us advocate for, rebuild, & revitalize the civil service. https://civilservicearchive.org/

Massie: "The DOJ wants to say they're done w/ this Epstein document production. The problem is they've taken down documents before we were able to go over & look at unredacted versions. They took down some of the most significant ones. They can't keep those down after they've already produced them."

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate. And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials. As the Constitution requires. Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG? MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

O'Keefe to Homan: "2 agents now on leave bc video evidence shows sworn testimony appears to be untruthful. DHS initially said officer who shot the migrant was being ambushed. Combine that w/ 2 deadly shootings & a Chicago incident where evidence contradicted govt - does this undermine trust in ICE?"

Our court system is largely working, with the exception of the most important court

“In a secret deportation arrangement, the Trump administration flew nine people, nearly all of whom had been granted U.S. court protections from being sent back to their home countries, to the African nation of Cameroon in January… The United States has not made any public deal with Cameroon.”

Over in Hell, the billionaires are fighting with each other over who hung out with Epstein more. 🍿

Markwayne Mullin on a grand jury declining to indict Dems over the "illegal orders" video: "I know the president is focused on the rule of law"

This is somewhat more of an old-fashioned ICE ruse. Arguably this is a sign of the agency going back to more standard “targeted enforcement” tactics designed to be not as disruptive as the more recent aggro-style arrests. Watch for more like this to come.

Rep. Angie Craig: "Democrats need to hold the line. The Senate needs to hold the line. I will not forgive anyone who doesn't stand their ground at this moment in time and I don't think the American people will either."

Eight years of Jeffrey Epstein Coverage by the Miami Herald How we got here jkbjournalist.substack.com/p/eight-year...

Trump tried this in March of 2025 with an executive order. It was shot down by judges. As long as we are prepared with lawsuits this attempt will be shot down too.

ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face. Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called "less than lethal" ammo could be fatal.

I think @wajali.bsky.social was clear. He acknowledges the current fight, but asks @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to lead on the long term goal of abolishing ICE. I don’t understand the leader’s reticence on that very simple, and frankly moderate position.

French prosecutors are reviewing the Epstein files and ties to French nationals to determine any criminal wrongdoing.

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Moskowitz: By the president’s own metrics, what accomplishments does Noem have? • She’s holding up 200 miles of border wall. • She’s deported fewer people than Obama. • She’s not helping any of these red-state governors with their disasters. Why hasn’t he fired her?

Obama responds to the racist Trump video — saying there's a "sort of clown show" playing out on social media: "What is true is there doesn't seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had to have some sense of decorum and a sense of propriety and respect for the office."

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer? You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators. So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

Unlike in Europe, officials in the U.S. with ties to Epstein have largely held their positions of power. trib.al/NS4Lf8H

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

"He said he expects this weekend’s Shabbat service will have a larger attendance than its usual crowd of 60 or 70. “We will not cower in fear. We are proud of who we are. We stand up for the sign that says ‘Hate has no home here’ and we firmly believe that.” www.washingtonpost.com/religion/202...

My latest Substack piece, this time with a deep dive into the FACE Act and why Trump’s DOJ is perverting its true intent: open.substack.com/pub/katiepha...

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks.    If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.   And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.
