New: The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this Trump administration. https://t.co/yx9mK0sBlN

I just introduced the Red Meat Inspection Exemption Act with @chelliepingree to allow small farmers to slaughter and process their own livestock for direct-to-consumer sales without federal interference.

This bill keeps Trump’s promise by reducing regulations on producers.

This is a movement that reaches every corner of our state, built one conversation at a time. And the message we're hearing is clear: Alaskans are ready for a senator who shows up for all of us. 🐟❤️🇺🇸

The U.S. Army announced last year that it had enough of a specific model of armored vehicle and that any more deliveries would be “excess.” But even so, Congress found a way to keep funding alive for the vehicle — and executives at the company that produces the vehicle found a way to flood key members of Congress with campaign donations.

Let me help you with his headline:

Compromised pedophile who then became the most important Congressman at a pivotal moment in American history (99-07) finally dies and goes to hell.

In other words, key pieces of legislation that eroded or completely nerfed American civil liberties, led to the murder of countless civilians abroad, and transferred public wealth to criminal banks were passed under the care of an almost certainly blackmailed pedophile.

USPS workers’ greatest concern about Trump’s mail voting plan was a requirement that they reject ballots for an array of reasons.

North Korea has nukes and ICBMs that can hit the entire U.S. Iran has neither.

If nukes were the point, you'd be bombing North Korea. You're bombing Iran because Israel told you to.

In her last hours as DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem bought a bunch of luxury planes with taxpayer money from one of her big donors, marked up by millions each, that all sat unused.

Is this the government fraud and waste Republicans were referring to?

The Whistleblower Who Caught Howard Lutnick Lying About Epstein Is Dead

This is not a coincidence you are required to swallow.

The cabal of billionaire pedophiles tied to Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is not going to be fully known until the complete, unredacted Epstein files are released.

Simon Andriesz, the British banker who dug Howard Lutnick's initials out of the Epstein files and handed the mess to House Oversight, is dead. The webzine, The Banker, says suicide. He was 57. He had worked under Lutnick at a Cantor Fitzgerald company. He is the man who found the emails Lutnick would rather you forget.

Andriesz searched the Justice Department's Epstein dump for "HWL," because Cantor people liked to hide behind initials. What he pulled out wrecked the story Lutnick had been selling: that he cut Epstein off in 2005 after one look at a massage table. The files showed otherwise. A 2012 lunch on Little St. James with Lutnick's wife and children. Business overlap on a startup called Adfin. Epstein emailing the HWL account in 2018 to ask what he thought of the company's prospects. Lutnick told Congress that, to the best of his knowledge, he only learned this year that Epstein had been an investor. The Commerce Department's line was that there was no evidence of wrongdoing. Andriesz's finding was that the commerce secretary had been lying about a child sex trafficker he stayed in business with.

A man exposes a sitting commerce secretary's lies and buried dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, the secretary is forced to walk back his own timeline, and weeks later the whistleblower is dead and the official explanation is suicide. Draw your own conclusion. Just don't pretend the pattern is subtle.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Simon Andriesz, the British banker who uncovered 2018 emails linking Howard Lutnick to Jeffrey Epstein’s Adfin investment and took them to House Oversight, has died at age 57. BBC reported his findings. Lutnick later admitted to visiting the island but not the business dealings.

The White House’s proposal to penalize nonprofits that help disabled people vote is just part of the Trump administration’s broader attempts to restrict voting access, especially among groups that have historically faced disenfranchisement.

The Trump admin just waived human rights conditions on $300 million in military aid to the dictatorship in Egypt.

The same week, Egypt’s government arrested the entire newsroom of an independent outlet.
