Should be alarming to all!
“Many of these private prison companies & security firms have histories of alleged physical, psychological & sexual abuse, but often operate in the shadows, resisting public oversight. Private lawsuits R often one of the only ways left to hold these firms accountable.”

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

Unlike a criminal trial, it lacks an adversarial system, and a defendant generally has no right to present their own evidence or challenge the prosecutor's narrative.

I kept wondering how do we know if truth or omission of truth is presented, which is what grand jury indictment is judged?

Reminder: To get an indictment from a grand jury, prosecutors present a range of evidence, including witness testimony and physical evidence. However, the grand jury process offers limited protections to ensure the prosecution is presenting a truthful and complete account.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

@realDonaldTrump AUG 1, 2025-Trump’s DOJ, whom he controls, made a decision to move Ghislaine Maxwell, 20yr CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER/Epstein to a sweetheart incarceration in Texas was his friend. This was only 2mo ago, now he says it was so long ago & he’d need to familiarize himself w/case? Bull💩!

He’s the only Republican there. He sent all the rest of them home again to avoid a vote on the Epstein files. Since Johnson has become Speaker they have probably been in recess at least 3 out of every 4 days. And they’ve done NOTHING on health care for years. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.
