I’m a NO — not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents.

No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes.

Get ICE out of Minnesota.

People say "release the Epstein files!", and what we have gotten so far shows he has raped children, and what we've heard so far is he watched children be murdered.

And he continues to sit in that White House.

He has never sued anyone for calling him a pedophile because he's been to court

by the way, a defendant of the stature and credibility of Don Lemon--who 100% isn't running away anywhere -would typically be permitted to answer a summons. Arresting him and putting him in jail overnight was a gratuitous indignity--which is to say part of the point of this performative indictment.

There is no world, no scenario, no imaginable or unimaginable turn of events under which the Trump Administration will not end up regretting this stupefyingly idiotic arrest.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black.

And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act.

Sit with that.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

The Trump Administration is obsessed with protecting pedophiles.

After failing to comply with the subpoena and withholding over 50% of the Epstein files, the Trump DOJ just removed parts of the Epstein files that include mention of Donald Trump.

I don't have any MAGAs in my life, but if you do, make sure they see all the stuff about Trump in this latest Epstein release.

Not only did they mess up and release bad stuff about Trump, DOJ also released emails that referenced Clinton being "hung like a horse."

This probably bothered Trump more than stuff about him raping 13 year old girls.

One of the very first things the next administration must do (after expanding SCOTUS and campaign finance reform) is to create a Fraud and Corruption Commission to purge the entire system of the filth this Reich has dragged into it.

"In none of these communications, even when doing his best to disparage President Trump, did Epstein suggest President Trump had done anything criminal or had any inappropriate contact with any of his victims,” Todd Blanche said.

But the girls did. Many of them.

“The scale of this failure is staggering and indefensible.
The Justice Department cannot claim it is finished releasing files until every legally required document is released and every abuser and enabler is fully exposed.”
“Virginia Roberts Giuffre alone reported many abusers connected to Epstein's network, yet the public still does not have the full truth about who enabled him, who participated in his exploitation, and who has been shielded for years.”
A new statement from Epstein survivors:

"Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous."
