“Republicans need the votes of at least seven Democrats to pass the legislation – and now they don’t have them.” Alex Pretti’s murder by ICE was the breaking point for Senate Democrats who are now going to use their votes to block a bill to expand ICE’s budget. zeteo.com/p/senate-dem...

A group of Epstein survivors just formally demanded that the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation into how the heavily redacted Epstein files were released. They’re demanding action now to release the files and we stand with them.

ICE is now behaving in such a way that even Tucker Carlson’s favorite Holocaust minimizing, Hitler-apologist “historian” is like “hey now guys, this is getting a little out of hand.”

Anyone being cavalier about how this is playing with the general public doesn't care about deportations or demographics. They're nihilists who just want a good show. The number of highly-committed 3-time Trump voters I know who have stepped away over the past week is astonishing.

DAMN: ICE grabbed a 17yo Target worker at his job, despite him saying he's a US citizen. After confirming he was, they dumped him in a Walmart lot 8 min away. Bystanders found him sobbing, bleeding: "They slammed me on the ground."

reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery
“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
