Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

Why won’t network evening news broadcasts show their audience video of Trump dozing off during press events in the Oval Office in the middle of the day while people are talking, as he’s done dozens and dozen of times? Is that not newsworthy? Is it impolite? Will you lose access?

A federal judge ruled that the Trump admin violated her order prohibiting overcrowding at ICE's Baltimore holding room — the very facility I've been sounding the alarm on after we saw this terrible footage last year. The judge is right to threaten contempt — the abuses must end.

Russia strikes apartment buildings. Ukraine strikes refineries. Trump is angry at Ukraine and calls for them publicly and privately to stop bombing refineries while saying nothing about Russia killing children.

Last month, @gillianbrockell.com reported that not only does ICE abuse immigrants by shackling them for hours on end, they also torment them with mockery and denying bathroom breaks.
Then a man from Eritrea or Somalia, Barry isn’t sure which, began to beg the guards to let him use the lavatory. Barry chimed in with an appeal to decency, telling the guards, “Please consider us as human beings.” But the guards were boisterous by that point, he said, and they didn’t appreciate the man’s increasingly loud and desperate pleas crashing their party.

Barry watched as a guard turned and looked at the man dead in the face and said, “You. Can pee on. You.” Another guard laughed.

“After seeing that, I just kept my head down,” Barry, 52, told me over the phone last week.

Why won't the Trump regime tell us what border czar Tom Homan did with the $50,000 he took in an FBI sting operation that was caught on video? If he kept it, did he pay taxes on it, or is the regime letting him commit a 2nd crime on top of the 1st crime? Let's not forget about this.
ms.now
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.
