Trump wants the government to replace him as the defendant in the case so taxpayers have to foot the $83,000,000 judgement instead of his own pocket.

The world has never seen corruption like this.

[Pablo Manríquez @PabloReports]

Uncomplicated, actually: it was a concentration camp in the swamp designed to kill migrants by a mediocre governor and his mediocre federal counterpart.

What the actual fuck is going on

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

another ice murder in broad daylight where they “targeted the wrong person” after they ram into his car w their unmarked rentals and then drive him off the road before shooting him. then they lie about the danger lorenzo posed. this is not a normal agency, it’s gestapo. wake up.

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE:

I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. I want to tell you about my dad. He was a hardworking family man. Let me tell you about my father's last day alive with as much detail as possible. My dad got dressed, grabbed his lunch and coffee, hugged and kissed my mom goodbye, slipped on his hat for the day, loaded his lunch, his work boots, his coffee in his work van. He patted our dog on his head goodbye and drove off to pick up his crew for work. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction on some houses. 5 minutes later, unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

So not only did an ICE agent shoot an unarmed man in the back of a van and lie about it, they’ve detained three eyewitnesses and are pressuring them to self-deport so they don’t testify. This is horrifying shit.

Mitch McConnell is actually the best Metaphor for, and representation of, America and our political system. He spent almost a century making the world a better place for only himself and his friends, married an immigrant while working tirelessly against other immigrants, manipulated the system to increase his power only to be usurped & made impotent by someone even more unethical, unscrupulous and power hungry. Then when the system is finally done with him, they keep his dead body on life support just to use him for one more power move until finally allowing him sweet sweet death while his wife flees the country and his children go into hiding. And when it's all said and done, he'll be best remembered for a meme that made him into a turtle. America.

[Donald Trump Portfolio Tracker @TrumpsPortfolio]

I CALLED IT, ANIMALS, AND YOU LAUGHED!!! Months ago I told you ICE would buy facilities DIRECTLY from the prison companies at north of $150,000 per bed — and I was WRONG, folks, it was BETTER!!! ICE just bought TWO facilities from CoreCivic — $CXW — for $1.47 BILLION!!! That's $286,000 per bed in California City, $371,000 PER BED at Otay Mesa, $323,000 a bed COMBINED — DOUBLE what these things cost to build!!! Even I underestimated the beauty, and I NEVER underestimate!!!

AND WHO OWNS $CXW??? DONALD TRUMP!!! It's RIGHT THERE in the disclosure, folks — the man holds CoreCivic AND GEO Group, the two companies running America's ICE detention centers!!! Follow the bouncing ball: HE runs the immigration crackdown!!! HIS DHS just wired $1.47 billion to a company HE OWNS SHARES IN, at DOUBLE replacement cost!!! The buyer is his government, the seller is his portfolio, and the taxpayer is the ATM!!! That's not a conflict of interest, that's a CLOSED LOOP!!!

And the STRUCTURE is a masterpiece: DHS buys the buildings, but CoreCivic KEEPS OPERATING them under the same contracts!!! Sold the real estate, KEPT the revenue — like selling your house and the buyer pays YOU rent!!! Gain north of $1 BILLION on assets carried at PENNIES!!!

THE DE-LEVERING — exactly like I told you: $716 MILLION of debt GONE overnight!!! Credit facility, GONE!!! The 2027 notes, GONE!!! And that puts them under the covenant thresholds that unlock UNLIMITED BUYBACKS with the $400 million left over!!! Fewer shares, folks — and whose shares get more valuable??? DONALD'S!!!

AND THE SEQUEL IS COMING: CoreCivic says it's in talks with ICE to sell MORE facilities!!! The machine runs forever: sign the orders, fill the beds, sell the buildings to yourself at double price, buy back the stock, watch the disclosure GLOW!!! One catch the animals should know — ICE can cancel those operating contracts anytime, so read the covenants before you chase!!! Do your own research, NOT advice!!! Is ANYBODY looking into this??? The SEC??? He APPOINTS the SEC!!! I called the trade, the price, AND the de-levering — GREATEST prison analyst in American history, maybe ever!!!

Phillip: If a Democrat had said anything like what Vance said, they would be called an anti-semite, period.

LoPresti: Well, I don't know if there's anything anti-semitic about what was said right.

Phillip: I am not saying that it is anti-semitic, but I am saying that for at least the last several years, any critique of Israel, its conduct in wars in gaza, in Lebanon, how it conducts itself in the region in general, Republicans have accused Democrats of being anti-semitic for pointing any of those things out.

Democratic states must play by the rules while republican ones violate their own constitutions in order dismantle democracy.

This the quintessential story of how sports reflects the state of the world. Thousands of fans have waited for Game 3 their whole lives and now they’re priced out of entering the game and can’t even celebrate outside because one billionaire gets to attend the game for free.

Watching all of Sheinbaum’s rapid fire accomplishments in Mexico and Mamdani’s similar run in NYC makes me think that, despite all of his flaws, a Bernie Sanders presidency would have been deeply transformative for America.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

the american govt would rather try to criminalize delivering aid to a country we’ve starved, than punish the epstein class.
