Goldman Sachs, that unrelenting, uncompromising bastion of raw, amoral profit, a money-chasing monolith beholden only to its shareholders, has managed to do a correct thing.
The government of the United States, supposedly beholden to its people, is utterly incapable of any similar response.
Welp.

Wyden has a bill and has been putting pressure on Treasury to release records/files it's been hiding away regarding Epstein. There's no reason Bessent should be hiding financial records, tell congress to get those records.
I always assume you start first with following the money, and Senator Ron Wyden is doing that.

BASH: Wouldn't ICE wearing body cameras help with what you're describing?
RON JOHNSON: I don't have a problem with that personally, but that's not what I heard what Democrats were demanding. Their primary demand was judicial warrants, which is completely unacceptable.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

this would be a strong demand for the funding fight as well bsky.app/profile/stev...
It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.
