This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Remember how I wrote this a few days ago about white plaintiffs claiming they were discriminated against & pointing to DEI as evidence? Well, a class action lawsuit has been filed against Philadelphia on behalf of all white male cops who were denied promotions & they're pointed to DEI as evidence.

Times like these I’m so glad Merrick Garland stuck to “norms” & refused to prosecute Trump for his many crimes. Because yes—while we are facing the very real threat of global nuclear war—at least we don’t have the shame of a former president sitting in prison. Boy would that’ve been embarrassing.

Illinois Senator Dick Durbin's statement on why he voted to confirm Marco Rubio for Secretary of State:

“Senator Rubio and I share many similar views on foreign policy and as a result, have worked closely together in the Senate regarding human rights, the challenges regarding China, and the recent sham election in Venezuela. When I met with him earlier this month, I reiterated the need to support Ukraine and strengthen the NATO alliance, my concerns regarding the escalating Russian hybrid attacks in the Baltics and elsewhere in Europe, and the importance of Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus succeeding with desperately needed reforms in Bangladesh.

“I believe Senator Rubio has a thorough understanding of the United States’ role on an international scale, has served with honor on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and is a good choice to lead the State Department. That is why today I voted ‘yes’ on his nomination.”

A major theme of their strategy with ramping up ICE's violence has been turning the US Code upside down to find (or invent) legal landmines to use against people. And they don't even have to stretch to do that here: it's provided for right there in the law.

One reason CBP hits this lot so often, besides essentially shooting fish in a barrel, is that it’s right next to their office. Didn’t meet quota for the day? Just go grab some Uber/Lyft drivers at the end of the day.

"I believe in living.
I believe in birth.
I believe in the sweat of love
and in the fire of truth.

And i believe that a lost ship,
steered by tired, seasick sailors,
can still be guided home
