But why would anyone remove a nonpartisan Archivist? What could she possibly do that Trump would care about?!? Oh… that’s right… the Archivist receives the official record of presidential Electors and the certified Electoral Votes for President from the states.

Someone at FBI/DOJ was monitoring reporter Julie Brown (@jkbjournalist.bsky.social), who broke the Epstein story, right around the time of his arrest on July 8, 2019: these flights were on July 6 and 8. The public deserves to know when her records were searched for. Before the arrest, or after? 1/

Masked agents dragged a teacher from her classroom. They pepper-sprayed a toddler. They shot a father of two, for the crime of trying to go to work.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Everyone should read this week’s WSJ story on Trump selling pardons. It’s some of the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen—you can literally corner him at one of his lame parties and walk away with a pardon. How is this not the biggest story in the country?

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.
"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

"Miller’s mission of boosting deportation numbers of necessity requires arresting people who are not criminals or gang members – people who have jobs and have become integrated into U.S. communities – because there’s no other way to get the removals up."
Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches:

The descendants of immigrants who conveniently “forget” how their immigrant forbears “got over” are disgraceful.
And for the record, Mr. Martini, the Italian immigrant who Mr. Potter disgustingly disparaged as a “garlic eater,” and who received a chance for a decent home from the Bailey Business& Loan, is essentially the stand-in for the forbears of ppl like ICE enforcer Greg Bovino (Italian-American).

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Trump is trying to keep the FBI file survivor interviews from being seen. They name the men who abused them.
Data Set 8 of the Epstein Files show that a victim stated that Trump & Epstein raped her, & that a Limo driver heard Trump in the back speaking to “Jeffrey” about “abusing girls”.
