This entire administration exists solely to kill and torture brown and black people and to protect and promote the Epstein Class. That's the entire job of this Federal government. Why should we fund this
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said he had "limited interactions" with Jeffrey Epstein, but documents show they were in business together as recently as 2014.

Lutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show
Though the commerce secretary has called his interactions with Epstein as "limited," the two were in business together four years after Epstein's 2008 guilty plea.

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

seth harp (writer of The Fort Bragg Cartel) debated ross douthat (from the epstein files, nyt oped writer) about foreign policy and it went so poorly for ross that he refuses to release the video
![Seth: Hi [redacted]. Is the NYT still planning to publish the interview I did with Ross three weeks ago?
[redacted]: Hey Seth, we've been working through the edit and it's looking like we aren't going to be able to make it work. We were kind of pummeled by the news cycle in the last 6 weeks and are going to pivot away from this story. Thanks for the time you put into it and for your expertise.
Seth: Unbelievable cowardice on Ross's part and a giant waste of my time. I'm going to make it known what actually happened: Ross challenged me to a debate on foreign policy, got crushed, and doesn't have the intellectual or journalistic integrity to air the footage.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6kuoujcow7dawloaxqj4qk5d/bafkreigabgeutmciebgntibrfjultgawhhyijntayg5ellc7aqtybntqwe@jpeg)

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.
Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

Early last year I approached Rep Gimenez with an offer to work together to protect immigrants in his district & mine. He rudely told me he had his own strategy & walked off.
Apparently his strategy was to do nothing for over a year to actually stop this.
Miami deserves better.

Gimenez: "We've been warning the administration about the enforcement that's been going on. We thought there should've been a course correction a long time ago, and now I guess it's gonna be forced on us by the Democrats. We should've been focusing on criminals and gang members, not grandmothers."
