For several days I have been hearing rumors of an ICE detainee death that ICE was not reporting. I've just learned a local journalist has confirmed it and will publish soon. Now I read this and see there are actually TWO deaths ICE is not reporting. www.daylightsandiego.org/ice-detainee...

How is it that another credible rape allegation and multiple assertions of further wrongdoing emerge about the president the week before an election and no one were to care? New concessions to the Russians? More revelations about his family Russia ties? About Kushner Trump corruption? How? How? How?

This, like the Comey seashell case, should have been laughed out of court, with severe sanctions on the lawyers who brought it. Judges need to stop playing nice. The DOJ is mocking the law. They should be severely punished.

Note: In 2016 Trump won with the help of coordinated messaging amplified by bots. He still relies on that coordinated messaging, tho the Epstein schism undermined that some. But this SEEMS to say you don't stay off Xitter and Facebook--you coordinate to game it.

A good summary of the House Judiciary Dems' 50-p report on Trump's history as a violent sexual predator, including a well vetted, under-oath account from Beatrice Keul of how Trump raped her in an Atlantic City hotel room in 1993, after the pair were introduced to one another by Jeffrey Epstein.

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

The trump administration needs to be held accountable for the massive corruption and abuse of power and cruelty!! If it were up to me, trump and every cabinet member and corrupt judge would have their combined total wealth redistributed to the American people. Every last penny.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.
