Even Trump’s own appointees are ruling against ICE’s mass detention strategy

A POLITICO review shows more than 350 judges have rejected the administration’s approach.

Vanity Fair says Donald Trump can’t escape the shadow of Jeffrey Epstein. Every question about the files = rage, attacks on reporters, deflection. If there’s nothing to hide, why the meltdowns?
And you can’t outrun a paper trail.

Epstein’s Ghost Is Calling All the Shots in Trump’s White House — Vanity Fair
Trump thought he’d cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein years ago. But the deceased financier’s shadow lurks across an administration struggling to outrun its own history.

The reasons for Bondi's contempt are secondary to the contempt itself. It doesn’t really matter that her clown act was intended to protect Donald Trump. More important is holding her accountable so future officials know clown acts come with a price.

As we dig into this scandal, can we revisit the question about why the president's son-in-law, who has no formal role in this administration, keeps showing up at high-level negotiations with actual world leaders?
Breaking WSJ:

The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Donald Trump is bragging that he's “very proud” of this economy.

But his first year in office was marked by the weakest job growth in more than a decade outside of Covid.

Trump needs to stop denying reality and start fixing the economic pain he's caused.

🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.
Election denier involved in fake electors plot wrote much of SAVE America Act, Trump-aligned think tank claims
“I’m here to do everything I can to make this work,” Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaign’s fake electoral plot in Arizona.

Today’s ruling was a victory for free speech, but don’t expect Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth to give up. We have to keep standing up to this Administration when they undermine Americans’ rights.

We are in a K-shaped economy, the rich are holding up what the lower incomes are drowning in. Now the lower rung of the elite ladder is weakening, with six figure earners taking on more debt. Stress rises, rung by rung. This is how the downfall begins. Not with a bang, but with a crack.

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.

It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

I voted NO on the Republican DHS bill, as it does nothing to hold ICE agents accountable or stop families from being torn apart.

Senate Republicans refused to guarantee basic accountability measures, leaving critical agencies like FEMA and TSA without funding while the Senate takes week off.
