Annie Farmer, who delivered testimony that helped convict Maxwell, expressed concern that Trump's DOJ would "use orders issued by the Court as a public excuse to continue to withhold crucial information," according to a footnote of the newly public letter.

The pardons Trump is handing out are a huge, growing scandal that not enough people are talking about. This is a money making operation - for for Trump, his family, his crypto pals, and the Trump-affiliated lobbyists and grifters who the pardon seekers pay.

With Trump and his Putin loving cronies, Macron is effing spot on:

"“There is a chance that the US will betray Ukraine on territory without clarity on security guarantees,” Macron said according to the English language notes of the call that DER SPIEGEL has obtained."
"We Must Not Leave Ukraine and Volodymyr Alone with These Guys"
DER SPIEGEL has obtained notes from a conference call involving EU leaders - including Germany's Friedrich Merz and France's Emmanuel Macron - showing just how little trust Europe has in Washington.

No community should be forced to bear the weight of a system that profits from human suffering.

Private, for-profit prisons have no place in a fair and free democracy—and especially profiting off the suffering of an inhumane and undemocratic detention system.

Period.

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

1 TON has ~907K grams. ~1 gram of cocaine can be fatal.

Over 20 yrs, former Honduran Pres Juan Orlando Hernández brought over 500 TONS of cocaine to the U.S. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Trump has pardoned & released him from prison.

While mass murdering fisherman as "narcoterrorists."

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Hernández had been convicted of funneling massive quantities of cocaine into the United States. So much for Trump’s “war on drugs,” lol.

ICE detains young woman who came to courthouse to report being sexually assaulted—hasn't been heard from since.

"She's victim of sexual assault," witness tells agent. "And you're arresting her and kidnapping her?"

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.

I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.

The number of immigrants in detention without criminal records has surged by over 2,000% since Trump reentered the White House.

Nearly half of all detainees have no criminal charges or conviction.

Trump was always lying about going after the “worst of the worst.”
