This whole Epstein File episode has really brought home how much we’ve lost our empathy on a massive scale. There is actual evidence both documented and verified by survivors of horrific crimes. Committed by people at the highest levels. Yet not one of them has been punished.

Why is a convicted sex traffickers word worth more than the hundreds of Epstein survivors who’ve told us who the predators are? Why do we need to give Ghislaine Maxwell clemency to find out what men were involved? She has more of a reason to lie than ANY of the victims.

Trump has the starring role in the Epstein files.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?” @acyn.bsky.social

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Quick round up: - the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile - he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments - his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets - the FBI is helping him steal the election - he’s threatening war against multiple allies 👍👍👍

This is a dangerous slope. When you damage the trust in elections, you damage the success of democracy. People need to trust that their voice is heard. Check out my full recap in my Weekend Video available at the Substack link in my reply.

Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "I mean -- c'mon. We're still pretending that ICE is going after dangerous people? They aren't. What is happening in Minnesota right now is a dystopia. ICE is teargassing elementary schools, it is disappearing legal residents into cars, it is murdering American citizens."

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

wfaa.comDisabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalizationIt had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

This. Is. Unconstitutional.

Host: ICE is now giving its officers sweeping new powers to enter homes without a judge's warrant. An internal memo says officers can forcibly go into a home based solely on a narrow administrative warrant to arrest someone.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Footage shows Danish troops arriving in Greenland as part of a new military deployment. Among the personnel who landed on the island is Major General Peter H. Boysen, Chief of the Danish Army Command. #Greenland

This is the very definition of fascism - targeting your enemies.

Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

Seems like every day there are more and more people looking at ICE and saying “I didn’t vote for this”. You did. You voted for a man who handed out MASS DEPORTATION NOW signs to crowds at his rallies. Did you think that mass deportation was going to be gentle and thoughtful and peaceful?

Every time I read something awful that these people did, I wonder: is this it? Is this what will bring them down?

“Even before Trump, this agency was riddled with excesses and abuses. But now that Trump has shown how ICE can be transformed into a paramilitary outfit that can pick up, beat, and kill anyone—immigrant and citizen alike—it needs to be abolished, not reformed.” open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...

What justification could there possibly be for an ICE officer following a woman into a porta-potty? This is disgusting.

Brooklyn Center, Minnesota: An ICE agent is seen slipping onto his back and then accompanying a female detainee into a porta-potty, while another agent waits in a car outside.

Heads up, everyone. This is their new tactic. If they're doing it with the governor's race in California, they're doing it everywhere, at every level. They're running Nazis as Dems. It's the Fetterman move except with a swastika instead of a sweatshirt.

Jon Collins@jcollins.bsky.social

The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

Is this it? Is this the thing that brings them down? How much worse does it have to get?

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington
