- Reposted by PolittleCat 🐸Let me correct myself here. I EXPECT they will charge him in 2 jurisdictions; MN and EDMI -- they just haven't unsealed the MN one yet, bc they have like 3 people left in the USAO. But thus far, only the EDMI complaint is unsealed, and it appears ridiculous.

- Reposted by PolittleCat 🐸Given that more people believe Epstein was a Russian asset, it's worth considering who else was in the SHU when Epstein was suicided. For example, Josh Schulte (who leaked CIA's hacking tools and talked about getting RU help) was in SHU, tho not clear where. www.cbsnews.com/news/epstein...
- Reposted by PolittleCat 🐸And on Xitter, I'm seeing almost no right wingers disseminate it. Basically Trump has turned you all into his data mules, and made himself the center of attention here, even while mostly blocked.

- Reposted by PolittleCat 🐸These numbers are simply incredible. It's very clear that most ordinary people have figured out that ICE is not remotely functioning as a law enforcement agency any longer and that none of this is about enforcing the law in any recognizable sense.
- Vast camps are central to Trumpism. Stephen Miller has long been very excited about them. Backlash is another sign that opposition to Trump/Miller runs deeper than revulsion at ICE. There's real resistance to the whole ideological project of mass deportations. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2060...
- Reposted by PolittleCat 🐸🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

- Reposted by PolittleCat 🐸Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP.
