BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it. The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning. Let's break it down. 🧵

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

There are two pathways to what Trump is doing: 1) He is federalizing 2000 National Guard troops; or 2) He is deploying 2000 members of another state’s National Guard with the permission of *that* state’s governor. These posts walk through the relevant authorities—and the questions they raise:

Deporting a gay man to Russia is beyond horrific, and yet this admin is happy to do it. And the verbal abuse he describes is abhorrent; and not new. Guards at detention centers, jails, and prisons get away with crap like this all the time. It’s appalling, it’s not new under Trump, just worse now.
On Wednesday, Maksim was handed a deportation order. Final decision. No appeal. His ICE officer told him flatly that if he refused to board the plane back to Russia, he'd be locked up in U.S. federal prison for “four or five years”—where, the ICE officer laughed, Maksim “will be raped.”
