An ICE agent groomed and sexually abused a detainee for over 3 months.
These men are more likely to cause harm than the immigrants they’re targeting.
They’re more likely to have criminal records.
Arrest & charge every last one of them.

If you watch the deposition of Jack Smith, you'll conclude as a matter of necessity that Donald Trump should be in a federal prison right now rather than the White House. He's only living outside a cage due to dumb luck. And all of us are paying the price.

Trump’s DOJ is refusing to release the Epstein files, despite the law requiring it. The excuses don’t matter. The delays don’t matter. If these files cleared Trump, they would already be public. Transparency isn’t optional. Accountability is overdue. #Surge4Democracy

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

A quick thread on Republicans packing state supreme courts in the past 10 years. They hate voters and democracy. 🧵
👀 Utah Republicans are threatening to expand the size of their state supreme court from 5 to 7 so they can get a favorable outcome in their redistricting appeal in time for 2026.
Ds across the country can take note especially if Ds get back in control of Cong/WH again.

Energy bills have increased 13% since Trump took office.
Families have paid an extra $1,200 on goods this year because of his tariffs.
Popular holiday gifts are 26% more expensive this year compared to 2024.
Remember this as Trump calls affordability a "hoax" and a "con job."

Wild considering the economic headlines leading up to the 2024 election were all about how our economic recovery from the pandemic was the envy of the world, and now a year after Trump we have the lowest consumer sentiment in over 50 years.
