Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Dr. Oz emailed an invite to a Valentine's Day party in 2016 to Jeffrey Epstein.

Oz appears several more times in the Epstein files, including an email sent from an account under his name to Epstein on Jan. 1, 2016, that has the subject line "Dr oz." The body of the message is completely redacted.
Senior US health official Oz invited Epstein to Valentine's Day party, documents show
Mehmet Oz sent the invite almost a decade after Epstein's first sex crime charges became public.

Trump claimed he hadn't spoken to Jeffrey Epstein since 2004. But here is an email from 2018 wherein Epstein claims he was asked for 3 names to replace Steven Mnuchin. Everything Donald says is a lie.

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket."

The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might.

More on this tomorrow.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

We've got the numbers: Last year we published (in partnership with the @brennancenter.org and @umd-cdce.bsky.social) survey results showing that some 21.3 million Americans could be disenfranchised by the SAVE Act, which the House''ll vote on tomorrow.

Time to send this thing back to its grave.

Howard Lutnick was Epstein’s business partner and he lied about it. I wonder why?
Screenshot of an X.com post by Molly Jong-Fast (@MollyJongFast) reporting that documents from the Epstein files show Lutnick and Epstein signed agreements in 2012 on behalf of limited liability companies to acquire stakes in an advertising technology company called Adfin, with their signatures appearing on adjacent pages and nine total shareholders listed.

Jamie Raskin said he reviewed an email sent from Epstein to co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell that was a forwarded conversation between Epstein’s lawyers and lawyers for Donald Trump.

The DOJ (illegally) redacted Trump's name in the public files.
