Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Did you say “admitted to the bar in 2024?” The DEI of it all. This is insane.

Paul Ingrassia—a 30-year-old former right-wing blogger and newly minted lawyer who was admitted to the bar in 2024—is Trump’s pick to lead the Office of Special Counsel. Ingrassia has called Jack Smith a “disgusting man,” accused him of “election interference,” and said he should be jailed.

Sure seems like the President of the United States is going to pardon a convicted sex trafficker and serial abuser who ran a pedophilia ring with his best friend in the whole wide world.

“The reason for the move is listed as a “lesser security transfer” (code 308), which is completely inappropriate for inmates who are in the early stages of serving their sentences. ‘This is such obvious corruption. I have never seen this before.’” open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

“Trump’s name is in the Epstein Files but Kash Patel had FBI agents go through them and black out his name” is the kind of statement that will surely put out this fire

NEW FOIA Files SCOOP: The FBI redacted Trump’s name—and the names of other prominent public figures—from the Epstein files under two privacy exemptions before DOJ & FBI concluded “no further disclosure” of the files “would be appropriate or warranted.” www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Emil Bove has been confirmed to a lifetime federal judgeship on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals

Carol reposted

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. 🧵

Unbelievable. Just days after the tragic flooding in Texas, NOAA is demanding that public TV stations remove equipment from towers that is critical for these stations to send weather alerts. Trump’s ideological crusade against public broadcasting will cost lives.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Had Joe Biden tweeted "Pete Buttigieg killed it on MSNBC this morning" and Buttigieg wasn't even on, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson would've written a book about it. Normal stuff from Trump though.

Pete Hegseth was not on Fox News this morning. They did play a clip of a video Hegseth posted on social media. Perhaps a confused Trump thought it was live.

HERE WE GO AGAIN: Trump treating the Liberian President like he’s some circus act for speaking English isn’t just racist—it’s diplomatic malpractice. Liberia speaks English. It’s their fucking official language. Trump makes every room dumber the second he opens his mouth.

Democracies do not use their military to try and intimidate their own citizens with “shows of presence”. This is fascism.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government. After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.

If there’s nothing to hide, why hide everything? Five Democratic state legislators were denied entry to Florida’s new immigration “detention center” deep in the Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz.”

There are roughly 80,000 family farms in Iowa. He lives in a fictional reality, and his cult thinks he's only one who tells it like it is.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Very importantly for Iowa, this bill rescues over 2 billion family farms from the so-called estate tax or the death tax." (over 2 billion??????)
