Institutional cruelty - The trademark of the Trump administration.

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

Elon Musk is despicable. Because he is a crazy white supremacist, he killed hundreds of thousands of people in Africa by having his DOGE teens cut aid for food and medicine. And because he is a crazy authoritarian, he has now killed Ukrainians by hindering their ability to anticipate air strikes.

Elon Musk was violating his visa when he started his first business here and very likely obtained his U.S. citizenship through fraud. Where is that investigation?

HELL Kennedy@helenkennedy.com

Fox News is reporting this is a criminal investigation into the immigration paperwork filled out by Ilhan Omar’s late father when she was a child 40 years ago. I actually think this is so nakedly outrageous it will blow back on them. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Am I the only one who remembers that we guaranteed the security of Ukraine in exchange for having them give up their nukes and larger weapons?

You’ll notice that the American state media have completely ignored new findings that the MAGA regime’s Freedom 250 was one giant money laundering scheme that stole from donors and taxpayers, but then again everything the orange felon does is a crime at this point. I miss Biden.

Taking out power plants is only ok if it is to facilitate a full ground invasion. If it’s used as punishment, it’s a clear war crime. Trump has removed all doubt about the whys and is clearly ok with war crimes. The question is will the generals understand they have some responsibility?

Totally inappropriate to send our Head of State under the current circumstances. UK government has essentially said the #TrumpEpsteinWar is ILLEGAL. Trump has commanded his army to carryout war crimes. Trump is a convicted fellow and likely #WarCriminal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Donald Trump attended one dignified transfer in a campaign merch hat, turned the photo into a fundraising email & then skipped the next one entirely. While Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, 26, was coming home in a flag-draped coffin at Dover… Trump was at his f’ng golf club. At. His. Golf. F’ng. Club.

Defense Secretary Hegseth used his press conference on Trump's war on Iran to browbeat the press & weigh in on CNN's ownership: "More fake news from CNN ... the sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better" (Hegseth spent more time attacking media than he did on US casualties)

Racism, sexism, hate and stupidity are the reasons why we all aren’t enjoying the benefits of a Kamala Harris Presidency and are instead in fear and horror during the orange felon’s vengeful trashy murderous dictatorship and the American state media is fully complicit in that.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Illegal not only by the terms of his own refugee ceiling (set at 7,500 for the fiscal year, although he can raise it) but also likely illegal because these aren’t really refugees AND insanely hypocritical given what they’re doing to refugees admitted under Biden. Disgusting, awful bigotry.

The US aims to process 4,500 refugee applications from white South Africans per month, far above President Trump's stated refugee program cap, and is installing trailers on embassy property in Pretoria to support the effort www.reuters.com/world/us-aim...

Rubin: "On Jan. 4, Deputy AG Blanche wrote a memo instructing DOJ officials reviewing the Epstein files to flag 302 memos -- the form the FBI uses to memorialize interviews. That's the exact kind of document we reported yesterday was missing with respect to Trump's accuser."

Trump: “It was July 4th of last year, when flood waters tore through a girl’s summer camp in Central Texas. One of the worse things I’ve ever seen. I was there.” Fact check: Trump was not there. He was throwing a party on the White House South Lawn while children were missing in Texas.

So, they shared MORE than an invitation to a cup of coffee at Epstein's apartment- right next door. Huh? More to come, I'm sure.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com

Emails and documents in the massive Epstein release not yet reported reveal that Lutnick went on to become a prominent figure in AdFin—not merely a minority investor—and that he and his company were financially interconnected with Epstein in the venture for at least six years.

Sounds as though. That's a lot of stashing, for no reason.

Ambassador Ken Fairfax (ret)@portlandken.bsky.social

Epstein stashed massive quantities of data, including thousands of discs with photos and videos and even entire computer, in storage units he rented across the USA. Was this his "insurance policy"? Now that the news is out, will the FBI investigate or rush to conceal the evidence?
