Good morning TX, from the sunny 😎 coastal 🏖️ beaches off the Obama Coast (formerly known as the Pacific 🤭) There are shenanigans happening to our friends in Texas — over a 1 Mil voters have been suspended, so if you’re from Texas, I implore you to check your registration and fix that shit!
THE NEW REPUBLIC
Texas Has Suspended More Than 1 Million Voters Ahead of Senate
Race
If you're one of the people who had their voter registration suspended, there's still time to fix it.

I worry that the framing of this as just “censorship” isn’t strong enough. With a Trump’s hold on multiple networks—and CNN coming up—it’s their attempt to create an entirely new reality

Trump’s current Attorney General Pam Bondi was Florida’s Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 in Florida. Ground zero for Epstein raping and trafficking children. Why didn’t she investigate and prosecute Epstein for these heinous crimes committed under her watch? open.substack.com/pub/deanobei...

Why didn’t Pam Bondi as Florida AG investigate Jeffrey Epstein?!
Everything Bondi does is to protect Trump.

These people are just crazy. Trump gets up and says "MASS DEPORTATIONS MASS DEPORTATIONS MASS DEPORTATIONS" and they're like "he probably means a path to legal status for deserving immigrants"
“Latino voters, Asian-American voters who voted for the president, they voted because they wanted to see immigration reform,” Rivera said. “I don’t think all Republicans realize that the president would not have won if it wasn’t for those voters.”
Across the country, Pennsylvania state corrections worker and former National Guardsman Brandon Neumeister, 36, also wants the president to focus on immigration reform this year.
“If they’ve been here, they’ve been productive, they’ve stayed out of trouble, I feel like those are the type of people we would want,” Neumeister said.
Rather than deporting immigrants “after they’ve been a fixture in communities for decades,” he added, the administration should create “a more streamlined method for them to attain citizenship.”

Le wanted to resign but hung in there to try to release as many improperly detained people as possible. Then this: "I am not white, as you can see, and my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up, too." No shock that Le has been relieved of her duties. She's a hero. 3/3

The transcript shows she was trying her best to get the Feds to comply w/ orders to release people ICE detained unlawfully but the system was overwhelmed. The Court correctly admonished it was no answer to say that ICE is violating people's rights so fast/much that the lawyers can't keep up. 2/3

Bill Clinton testified under oath about Monica Lewinsky. He will now testify under oath about Epstein. There is no excuse for Donald Trump doing that too. Either you want to learn the truth about Epstein’s crimes & who else was involved or you don’t.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.
