Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.

It’s VERY IMPORTANT that corporate media NOT frame this as a judicial settlement. Trump DROPPED the suit this morning. There is no lawsuit, and therefore, no settlement. you can’t settle a suit that doesn’t exist. This is just pure theft.

If you want to see the 2024 5-year capital plan fully funded, let the council know! Without full funding, we lose millions of dollars for projects underway (wasted $) AND new projects & investments (wasted opportunities). We also lose staff dedicated to working for the good of Scottsdale.

James Comer is under fire after a memo revealed Republicans are shifting away from traditional hearings on the Epstein Files. Instead of formal proceedings, the committee is moving to “roundtables”—informal sessions with no authority. Witnesses are not even required to be under oath.

The characterization of the Iran negotiations as "marathon" is absurd. Real diplomacy requires deep expertise, patience, and dedication. To fly in for one day to "negotiate" the end of a war that we started is preposterous. The world laughs (and suffers).

All this because Donald Trump couldn't abide the idea of a Black president having a success. This war may have been triggered by his desire to distract from Epstein...but his tearing up the JCPOA (like his Nobel Prize obsession) is driven by his profound and unyielding racism.
