CBS apparently had a major Epstein story in the works detailing major corruption at the top of Wall Street banks and involving the Virgin Islands government

Never made it to air under the new Bari Weiss/Ellison leadership

I heard about rehab centers essentially abducting Native Americans in Arizona, holding them hostage, and billing medicaid $8000 a day. I went there to look into it - and it was so much worse than I expected.
My full story is tonight on @NewsNation at 11pm.

Surprise, surprise!

The Mead/Airway Heights fire in Spokane is *ground zero* for a massive Data Center build which has been on hold because of local pushback.

What a coincidence!

BREAKING: A federal judge has just ended the “get-out-of-jail-free card” granted to Trump’s sons (and the Trump Organization) by the DOJ in the $1.776 billion IRS settlement.

Trump's sons can now go to jail

🚨BREAKING: Men posed as ICE agents and detained and assaulted a woman… and Tom Homan is telling everyone that they just have to comply with this.

A woman was driving on Highway 211, in Oregon, when a vehicle with flashing red and blue lights pulled behind her.

Believing she was being stopped by law enforcement, she pulled over.

Two men approached her vehicle, one was carrying a rifle, and they claimed to be ICE agents and told her she was being detained.

They pulled her out of her car, searched her, and put her in the back of their vehicle.

Then, a third man… who remained inside the vehicle… assaulted her.

He told her he was the “guard.”

The men were wearing tactical vests labeled “POLICE,” carrying fake badges, and wore face coverings.

They held her for nearly 20 minutes before telling her she was free to go… and then she drove herself to the hospital.

And while she was there, she reported that she started receiving text messages from someone claiming to be a law firm offering legal representation for her detention.

Federal authorities later confirmed this was NOT an official ICE operation… These were people pretending to be federal agents.

And this is exactly why Tom Homan telling people to “comply” with anyone claiming to be ICE is so incredibly dangerous.

Because what is a person supposed to do when someone in a tactical vest, carrying a gun, pulls them over with flashing lights and says they are federal agents?

Just trust them?

This is not about telling people to resist legitimate law enforcement.

This is about the government normalizing a system where anyone can look like an armed federal agent, claim to have authority over you, and expect you to obey without being able to verify who they are.

That doesn’t make people safer.

It makes everyone more vulnerable to being kidnapped, assaulted, or killed by criminals who know they can pretend to be ICE.

Trump is in the bunker stage of things. See the endings chapter of #Strongmen.

Meet Bruce Taylor, of Taylor Farms. This man makes huge contributions to Trump so his lettuce is never inspected. So far, this man has given us E. coli, and cyclospora.

He does NOT allow his lettuce pickers to take bathroom breaks.

Kroger brand lettuce is actually Taylor’s.

BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, Senator Lisa Murkowski just announced she will vote no on Donald Trump’s SAVE Act. This will likely kill Donald Trump’s last hopes of passing the bill. Let’s go.

Putin

Last night Donald Trump released a declassified document that says his own intelligence community identified Putin as personally running an operation to defeat my father in 2020, built around a fake Burisma corruption scandal centered around me and executed through prominent Americans.

Trump tasked his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to fly to Kyiv and meet a known Russian agent.

The Americans who ran, laundered, and legitimized the operation:

Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. John Solomon. Joe DiGenova. Victoria Toensing. Lev Parnas. Igor Fruman. Chanel Rion. Sean Hannity. Steve Bannon. Miranda Devine. Ken Vogel. Ron Johnson. Chuck Grassley. James Comer. Jim Jordan.

To name a few.

An operation formally sanctioned by Trump's own Treasury Department on September 10, 2020, and expanded to include more named actors on January 11, 2021.

Oh, and don't forget the Russian-linked FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who later pleaded guilty to making the entire Burisma bribery story up.

The record exists and we have all the receipts, and more.

🚨DISQUALIFYING: Sen. Ossoff skewers Jay Clayton who is seeking to lead America’s intelligence community after he REFUSED to answer “Who won the 2020 election?”

Ossoff: “Isn’t it humiliating… to have to indulge the president’s delusions?” Clayton is a coward.

@highbrow_nobrow @lawindsor Reminder that J6 was merely the culmination of the insurrection—a last ditch effort to avoid transferring power when all other schemes failed. Trump’s whole election stealing project was an insurrection against the USA—the deadly riot was just the most public, dramatic piece.

Senate Democrats have blocked Republicans' National Defense Authorization Act, which would've given an additional $1,100,000,000,000 to the Department of War and deepened military ties with Israel

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

I cannot support a blank check for Trump's illegal war in Iran and fast-tracking deeply troubling and dangerous surveillance collaboration with Netanyahu’s government. I voted no.

[CJ Gintert @CGintert56609]

@JoyceWhiteVance @WhipKClark There really are no rules anymore.
Because there’s no longer enforcement mechanisms in place.
Trump will do as he pleases.
Lawsuits/injunctions will crawl along.
He’ll then have finished whatever the latest demo project is-
Then what are we going to do? Tear down what he did?

Ford fired a $200,000-a-year employee over a $1.95 cookie he paid for.

Kurt Kromm, 11 years at the Kentucky Truck Plant, felt his blood sugar drop at 3:30 a.m. He's diabetic. The kiosk flashed red on his card, so he paid at the second machine, ate the cookie, went back to building trucks.

A week later security walked him out. Wouldn't even let him take his tools.

Then he pulled up his bank statement. The $1.95 charge was sitting right there. Ford checked with the kiosk company, confirmed he paid, cut him $28,000 in back pay, and begged him to come back.

He said no. Took a job closer to home with a raise.

So the final scorecard: Ford spent $28,000, lost an 11-year veteran, and took a national PR beating to recover a cookie that was never stolen. The cookie cost $1.95. Firing the guy who bought it cost 14,000 cookies.
