LIEU: How many US troops have been wounded in the Iran war? WALTZ: My understanding is over 100 LIEU: That number is wrong. It's actually 482. It's not surprising to me you didn't know the answer. The reason you are here today is bc you were fired by the president from your former position as NSA.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

JUST IN: Virginia adopted a new law yesterday to forbid sheriffs & local police from contracting with ICE — if ICE doesn't say it'll follow state laws & agree to let its agents be prosecuted. Everyone seems to agree ICE won't promise that, and that this spells the end of ICE contracts in Virginia.
boltsmag.org
Virginia Bans ICE Contracts, Unless the Feds Agree to Obey the Law. No One Expects Them to.
A new law does not outright bar local contracts with ICE. But they can continue only if ICE accepts due process rules and state courts having power over its officers.

Doug Ford canceled Ontario’s Starlink contract with Elon Musk and banned all US companies from provincial contracts in response to Trump’s tariffs on Canada. “It’s done, it’s gone,” Ford said. “We won’t award contracts to people who enable economic attacks on our province and country.”

It’s not hard to understand. Maxwell is blackmailing Trump and Melania by threatening to release her discovery files. Trump has to pardon her. He’s asked republicans in congress to provide him an excuse to do so. (This is all speculation on my part. But it seems pretty obvious.)

Senate Republicans voted against lowering out-of-pocket health care costs, reversing cuts to food programs, and a measure to lower rising electricity prices in their budget blueprint. But they voted to give Trump’s ICE thugs $70 billion to keep terrorizing our communities. Priorities.

ICE concentration camps; one thing we never hear of: the process of transporting people. It’s not like they care about the humanness of this process. They move people across many miles, because they make money doing it. But these transports must be brutal in themselves.

Ghislaine Maxwell abused young women & girls alongside Epstein for years. As young as 14. In multiple states. Convicted in a federal court. She belongs behind bars. I’m beyond disgusted that any of our colleagues would suggest a pardon. The real question is why has no one else been convicted?

They aren't giving away their wealth, but they are pumping it into our elections. The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the super-rich control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Exactly. Blanche is the one who cut a deal with Maxwell to waive her sex offender status. He got her “out custody” and moved her to club fed. He’s the Michael Cohen of the Epstein era.
