wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

And yet, no one asks Republicans how they will pay for tax cuts or military spending or paramilitaries the way they ask how Democrats will pay for reducing child poverty or student loan debt relief.
No matter what Republicans do, they are still treated as "deficit hawks":

Gonzales said we must be a nation of laws but also compassionate in enforcing them. Note: the crime many immigrants are guilty of is a civil offense. The right WANTS TO PUNISH THEM, however, so hypes the crime to match the punishment. And it does that because the real crime is being brown.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

Being an American is no zero sum. A 5 year old immigrant is not taking something from a 5 year old citizen. But that’s what these ghouls want you to believe — that being an immigrant is being a thief. They want you to believe that because, in their view, the real crime is that they are not white.

Good thread, but especially this: ask your town if the local cops are responsive to the people of the town, or to Kristi Noem and her thugs.
21. Compounding matters is a largely unknown effort by the Trump regime to co-opt state and local law enforcement. Called “Task Force Model,” the program pays salaries and benefits to state and local cops who aid ICE and Border Patrol.

I think it's important to assert that the government should PRESUME you are legal until there's reason to believe you are not, and by "reason," I mean more than your skin color. f the burden of proof is on you, and not on the government, that alone is an infringement on your liberty.
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."
