I have really had it with people just kneejerk reacting “Oh? What’s that gonna do?” to every legal win. There’s no question that the legal wins are not doing what they need to do and there’s no question the Trump regime is not committed to the law, but they do follow it to some level.
This is the direct result of a judicial order. Law isn’t magic but it can be powerful stuff.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

And it all got picked up and winked at and trumpeted by the very same politicians, billionaires and newsmakers in these files. Via posts, algorithms, insinuations, equivocating punditry and outright endorsement. Especially by Trump and Musk.

Every Q myth maker was out to hand wave away Trump's corruption, documented sex crimes, perverse obsessions with young women and girls including his own daughter and his decades of friendship with Epstein. Creating an alternate reality where he was a secret agent bring it down from the inside.

The conclusion isn't 'Qanon was right' it's 'Qanon was an op to install Trump, Musk, Thiel and dozens of other Epstein pals into the halls of power and build the most pro-sex criminal regime since slavery.' Which was obvious years ago.

Thank you @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social
for bringing Liam back to his friends and families.
He endured more than any 5-year-old ever should. Now more than ever, we need to get ICE out of Minnesota.

I'm THRILLED Liam is home.
And I'm WAY past the point where I see his release as anything other than a publicity stunt to divert attention from the systemic abuses of power.
There are many families with their own version of Liam...and two who are mourning in Minnesota.
Don't let up.

My personal government data was stolen by DOGE. Where is my $10 billion?
STEPHANOPOULOS: How do you respond to people who say it's a conflict of interest for the president to be seeking funds from those who he's administering?
BLANCHE: We're looking at how to handle that. He's not wrong that what happened there was horrible, the fact his tax returns were leaked.

The relevant facts about Anne Frank that made her story resonate with so many for so long is not her immigration status in the Netherlands.
And the Haitians in Ohio that the US govt is preparing to target for persecution have legal status. So even by that standard, the Anne Frank analogy works.

Trump's antisemitism envoy: "It is utterly inappropriate to compare Anne Frank to children hiding from ICE. This demeans the experience of those who died in the Holocaust."
Actual Holocaust survivors in Florida: "This reminds us of Anne Frank."

Epstein really messed up by getting rearrested in 2019 because had it happened a few years later he could have positioned himself as a brave warrior against cancel culture and become a celebrity on the right by throwing a pittance to Jack Posebic, Tim Pool and a few other b-list influencers

The real blackpill - the decline in teen pregnancy rate came mainly from it becoming socially unacceptable for grown men to knock up underage girls.

very unlikely to happen across the board in November, *but* I think we are increasingly likely to see a few surprise flips of "safe R" seats
20 and 30 point consistent overperformance is the point at which gerrymanders turn into dummymanders and you start to lose safe seats because you diluted your majorities.
