[Wuthering Heights🟧 📢 @Beatitudes2020]

THIS is the most important problem for the US to solve. It may require expanding SCOTUS to break free of money and corruption in politics.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

🚨The Supreme Court may be on the verge of further legalizing corruption & expanding Citizens United - thanks to two schemes, including one hatched by @JDVance.

@LeverNews worked with @RBReich & @IMCivicAction on this report exposing the plot.

Watch & pass it on👇

@GovPritzker WTF?

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: In a Chicago suburb, a U.S. citizen was observing an adult man in a black ski mask, who she believed was an ICE agent, driving around a HIGH SCHOOL…

…and police pulled HER over.

Not the MASKED MAN driving around the Schaumburg high school…

The officer told her she was being detained for “stalking.”

Even though, when she asked who she was allegedly stalking… the cop admitted he didn’t even know yet, and would “find out in just a moment.”

So, just to clarify…

The cop hadn’t confirmed who the MASKED MAN was.

He hadn’t determined whether he was a federal agent, or why he was driving around a HIGH SCHOOL in a SKI MASK.

But the cop had already decided the woman, OBSERVING THE MASKED MAN, was the problem.

Americans have a First Amendment right to observe what government officials are doing in public.

If this was a federal agent… documenting their activity isn’t a crime.

It’s accountability.

And if it wasn’t a federal agent… most people would expect the police to be concerned about a MASKED MAN driving around a HIGH SCHOOL.

Not the woman observing him.

In a country where school shootings are a real and constant threat to students… that’s the bare minimum our law enforcement should be doing.

But when she asked why a MASK MAN, driving around a HIGH SCHOOL, didn’t concern him, the officer said:

“Everyone wears masks nowadays.”

So, if someone can be detained for peacefully observing, what they reasonably believe is government activity…

While police focus more on the observer than the MASKED MAN around a HIGH SCHOOL…

Then we have some serious questions that need to be asked… @GovPritzker

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

My job is made easier when trump officials say ridiculous things in the face of incontrovertible facts.

But @SecRubio didn’t just lie to Congress. He disrespected the American people. He thinks we are stupid and will ignore what we see with our own eyes.

November is coming.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family.

That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know.

I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.

🚨NEWS: Scientists Were Handcuffed At A Medical Conference.

Researchers and physicians attending the American Diabetes Association conference in New Orleans were reportedly detained and removed while distributing a paper criticizing cuts to federal research funding.

Think about that for a second.

Scientists were not accused of sabotaging research.

They were sharing research.

If the reports are accurate, the question isn’t whether you agree with their conclusions.

It’s why distributing a scientific paper resulted in handcuffs.

USPS’ plan to only send mail-in ballots to voters registered with the federal government violates a court-enforced settlement from 2021, a new motion argues.

The NAACP is asking a federal court to block USPS from implementing the rule, which could result in eligible voters being denied ballots.

“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of us.”

[Popular Liberal 🇺🇸 @PopularLiberal]

BOOM! Jamie Raskin is UNSTOPPABLE: Constitutional scholar, lawyer, and competent congressman Jamie Raskin is looking healthier and more energized than ever.

He just drew a moral line on the House floor that the GOP can't cross: "We draw a line against the rape and sexual violation of children."

He named the banks that bankrolled Epstein's billion-dollar trafficking ring: JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, and Bank of New York Mellon.

He named Alex Acosta—Trump's Labor Secretary—who killed the investigation that could've brought down the entire network. He looked directly at the GOP and said: "You have children. Don't you want to know?" Then he mentioned college sports teams. You know who that is.

Jim Jordan—who had a locker two down from Dr. Richard Strauss at Ohio State, whom wrestlers say looked them in the face and dismissed their abuse as "that's just Strauss," and who they say KNEW and did NOTHING while 177 young men were violated.

And the files? They show Elon Musk emailing Epstein asking about the "wildest party" on his island and responding to Epstein's offer of "no one over 25 and all very cute." JPMorgan lawsuits allege Epstein referred to Musk as a client WHILE moving billions for his trafficking operation.

This isn't about party. This is about truth.

Conservatives: You scream about "protecting children" while voting for the men who covered up the largest child sex trafficking ring in American history.

How do you sleep? How do you vote? How do you look your kids in the eye?

[Senator Jacky Rosen @SenJackyRosen]

Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is taking donor money and depositing it into a private JPMorgan account – and we have no transparency about who is overseeing these funds and how they will be used.

Secretary Rubio refused to answer my question when I asked him if Donald Trump or any family member could access this money. I am deeply concerned by what the Administration plans to do with these funds, which are meant to support the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and help Palestinian civilians.

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees.

Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

Rep. Thomas Massie, to FBI Director Kash Patel: "These documents in your possession detail at least 20 men, including Jes Staley, CEO of Barclays, who Epstein trafficked victims to, including minors like Virginia Roberts Giuffre."
Said in September.

[Rep. Frank Pallone @FrankPallone]

Trump’s immigration enforcement left a nearly-blind immigrant to die in the cold after releasing him in February, and continues to mistreat detainees with serious medical conditions in facilities like Delaney Hall.

This brazen new policy is designed solely to shield ICE from accountability for its cruelty.

Florida paid a portable toilet company called Doodie Calls more than $92 million over six months to haul wastewater out of the Everglades. The state projected it would pay Doodie Calls $480 million over two years. For comparison, building a sewage treatment plant for a city of 10,000 people costs about $5 million.

That is one vendor. At one facility. Built in eight days on an Everglades airstrip using hurricane disaster funds because Ron DeSantis declared immigration a state of emergency in 2023 to access a $5 billion fund set aside for floods and hurricanes.

The facility costs between $1.2 million and $3 million per day to operate. A conservative estimate puts the annual per-capita cost at $500,000 per detainee. Florida spends $30,000 a year to house a convicted criminal in a state prison. The math on Alligator Alcatraz is not tougher than a prison. It is more than sixteen times more expensive.

Three quarters of the men held there have never been convicted of a crime. They are awaiting civil immigration proceedings. They are being held in kennels - cages with steel mesh sides, 16 bunks, three toilets, brightly lit 24 hours a day. Amnesty International documented what it called deliberate neglect designed to dehumanize, including credible allegations of men held in stress positions in direct sunlight without food or water for hours at a time.

Governor Braun opened the Speedway Slammer at an Indiana prison. The Cornhusker Clink in Nebraska. The Louisiana Lockup at Angola. The naming contest is ongoing. The cruelty is the point. The cost is someone else's problem. Florida's emergency fund has dwindled to $200 million. The facility cannot run to the end of the year.

The men in the cages are still there.

Bari Weiss built her entire public identity on the proposition that cancel culture was destroying American discourse. She wrote about it. She founded a publication around it. She championed the Intellectual Dark Web as brave thinkers being silenced for saying forbidden things.

Scott Pelley said factually true things, without yelling, without cursing, without threatening anyone, in a staff meeting. He said Bilton had slender qualifications. He said Weiss was murdering 60 Minutes. He said these things because they are true and because saying true things in rooms where powerful people prefer comfortable silence is - per Weiss's own stated philosophy - exactly what journalists are supposed to do.

She fired him.

JVL names what this exposes precisely. They never wanted to end cancel culture. They wanted to control it. Some forbidden ideas - the ones MAGA likes - must be protected and platformed. Other ideas - the ones Bari Weiss dislikes - are genuinely verboten. Say them out loud and you lose your job.

The Pentagon press office is now classified. Tim Miller was threatened with FARA for sharing a public news report. Comey is being prosecuted for seashells on a beach. The federal workforce faces proposed NDAs. Pelley was fired for refusing instructions to broadcast unverified assertions and then saying so in a meeting.

The through line is not chaos. It is a consistent, documented project to determine who gets to speak, about what, to whom, and under whose authority. Cancel culture was never the target. It was always the tactic. Weiss just proved it by doing the thing she built her career opposing, the moment she had the power to do it.

REMINDER: DHS abandoned a blind man at a closed Tim Hortons in Buffalo and let him FREEZE TO DEATH.  

This new policy is disgraceful but entirely unsurprising.

What Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche have done is criminal. They have broken the law.

An Epstein survivor, at a House Oversight press conference last week.

Her charge: not one investigative lead pursued from 3.5 million files on the largest US sex trafficking ring.
