On September 11th, 2001, we all lost something very close to our hearts. I knew over 30 people who didn’t come home. Several were old friends and neighbors. I didn’t think #NYC could survive it. But we came together. I wrote this #RunningBackToNewYork with #MusicFromGroundZero #44Lights

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been personally linked to the brutal ICE raids sweeping America.
The mother of her 11-year-old nephew is now in custody at an ICE facility, facing deportation to Brazil. She’s the former fiancée of Michael Leavitt, the press secretary’s brother.

Reporting from Boston papers makes it seem very plausible that Trump's Press Secretary had his paramilitary detain the mother of her nephew, because she was no longer romantically involved with her brother and he wanted her out of the picture.

There were two bylines on that story. One of them was a guy. But Trump singles out the woman, and he brands her ugly. This is who the man is.

It doesn't make it in any way OK, but the silver lining here is the Streisand Effect: Millions of people, me included, would never have known that an internationally respected historian had called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history" if not for the BBC's cowardice.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Update: The US National Debt has now surpassed $39 trillion. It was $36 trillion when Trump took office earlier this year. Trump’s tariff manipulation has also nearly wiped out entire industries across the United States, countless now unemployed.
The official statement from the MAGA White House as the US hits a rapidly increasing all-time high $38 trillion national debt, is:
“At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.”

Ukraine never signed a “Trump peace plan”; no such plan exists. Trump pushed a Russia written proposal and tried to pass it off as his own, it was replaced by a legitimate European framework coordinated with the US. Real peace requires Russia to leave all Ukrainian territory.
