You may not have heard, but it’s important. Dems are holding shadow hearings on ICE crimes. Witnesses provided harrowing and explosive accounts yesterday. I provide some highlights from the day, and I urge everyone to watch and amplify them. Link in the replies.

A full public inquiry into Reform UK’s links to Steve Bannon, and into what the newly released Epstein files tell us about the Brexit years, is now unavoidable.

I got into a discussion with someone the other day about immigration in the US, and I insisted that there was no crisis.
The other person said that having people break the law, doing it the wrong way, was bad.
I should have responded: let's stop illegal immigration after we fix white collar crime

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Nigel Farage is going to "save pubs" by cutting 5p off the price of a pint of beer...
The £3 billion cost will be funded by reinstating the two-child benefit limit.
This might be the worst policy anyone has ever come up with.

Ah this is the part of the show when seemingly disparate plotlines come together.
1. This 2016 exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel is so essential, really gets to the heart of Epstein's project.
Epstein: brexit, just the beginning.
Thiel: Of what?
Epstein: return to tribalism... finding things on their way to collapse , was much easier than finding the next bargain

The man behind donations of £200,000 to Reform is a church warden from Potters Bar, who just happens to work for a billionaire from Kazakhstan. But it's definitely not money laundering or interference in UK politics by a foreign national.

Of course, having published Milburn's invented numbers, they don't bother to give their readers the actual ones.
