LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."
RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.
So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Contrary to claims that foreign countries would foot the bill, tariffs are a tax on Americans. Research suggests 90% of the tax burden has been placed on US companies and consumers, evidenced by an 11% rise in import prices. Congress needs to end to this economic burden.

A thought-provoking read about how we move forward with farming in an increasingly hot environment. It seems prudent to choose heat tolerant plants, create thermal refuges through strategic planting of trees and water management, and to start planning immediately for the global increase in heat!

Incredible story that is worth your time to read. It exposes the ways in which the Trump admin is turning the legal immigration system into yet another arm of the mass deportation machine, transforming a benefits agency into a trap for those seeking legal status.
![Even as Donald Trump has turned the agencies of D.H.S. into something of a roving personal police force, his Administration has prosecuted a quieter but no less ambitious assault on legal immigration. Green cards and visas for people from dozens of countries have been frozen indefinitely, and the Administration has cancelled naturalization ceremonies. Immigrants and asylum seekers in the middle of the application process have been detained during routine interviews. Last April, Mohsen Mahdawi, a student at Columbia University who had a green card, was arrested during his citizenship interview, for which he’d waited a decade. “Is this a trap?” he recalled thinking, after U.S.C.I.S. called him in for an appointment; masked ICE agents took him away just after he’d signed the Pledge of Allegiance. The wife of a green-card applicant who was arrested in Salt Lake City said, “We’ve tried to do everything the right way. We have, and [now] he’s not here.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreid7qkszdahgjbgtbgocveyhd3urdaawzir3sl2ixxfuij532mdkum@jpeg)

EXCLUSIVE: Evidence Indicates Jeffrey Epstein Was Key to 2016 Pro-Trump Election Meddling
So much attention has been paid to Epstein's serial sex crimes that we've spent too little time asking whether Trump owes his political career to a dead pedophilic rapist he can’t stop lying about.

Every action trump takes suggests he’s guilty.
If he’s innocent let his bent DOJ and FBI investigate the whole thing in public - instead of sweeping it under the carpet.
