Congressman Ted Lieu demands AG Todd Blanche be fired over his comments about it not being a crime if a person partied with
#Epstein
Gotta say, this is basic Criminal Justice folks. Blanche is just another lawyer willing to risk it all for Trump.

HELL NO, IT ISN'T........
Where Is The OUTRAGE ? Chump
Must Be Held Accountable......
Sadly, this is the ICE M.O.: Assault innocent people and then tell elaborate lies to blame the victim. No judge should give any credence to anything a DHS lawyer says to them. They have proven themselves to be liars too often.
NOT 👇 SURPRISED.......
Epstein Files: “Some suggested the Clintons ‘caved’ to Congress’ demands. More likely they’ve set a precedent that requires people with far stronger linkage to Epstein—& their wives—to testify. If they don’t, the GOP-led investigation in Congress will face claims that it’s trying to hide the truth”
Mind you—that's 5,300 references to Trump in the Epstein files THAT WE KNOW ABOUT.
And most of the released files have been poorly redacted, often with no rhyme or reason.
Trump promised to release the files, so release them—ALL of them.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.
And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.
Today it roars in Minneapolis and around the country — at the jack-booted thugs occupying our cities.
I'm not sure if some politicians act solely in the interests of their constituents.

It starts with the vice president and the majority of the cabinet declaring the president unfit for office. Like that would ever happen. We’re on our own for now.
"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..."

Rep. Morrison on conditions at Whipple: "She said, 'they are treating us like animals in here. The women that are in this cell with me, we slept on a cold concrete floor last night. We were begging for a blanket, & guards were cruel'... we have to resolve that every single person deserves dignity"
Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "I mean -- c'mon. We're still pretending that ICE is going after dangerous people? They aren't. What is happening in Minnesota right now is a dystopia. ICE is teargassing elementary schools, it is disappearing legal residents into cars, it is murdering American citizens."
I'll be honest, I don't expect fair elections for the midterms. But I'm going to push for voting anyway because we can't just hand this country over to them. We've got to fight to the bitter end to restore Democracy in this country.
What gives you hope in these awful times?
I’ll tell you my answer: the people of Minneapolis.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
‘Are you a Pedophile’ will be a question on future political applications for consideration.(?)
The Pedodent and most of his cabinet/admin are being called out by the American People!
Their true “colors” will be their own undoing.
Keith Ellison: "The president is openly promoting authoritarianism and tyranny. That is what's happening in America. Most of us thought we would never see it, but here it is right in front of our eyes."

There is a reason it has taken decades for Republicans to finally have this much power. Remind when they were last removed from government. It has to be done again. They are inhuman. The entire party needs to be abolished.

Even if you do usually vote Republican, most of us can agree at this point that the administration has gone way, way too far.
We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.
If the Epstein files are this vile and incriminating already, just imagine all the stuff they’re still hiding.
Happy Saturday! It's the weekend! The best part of this morning's 7° sunrise was the pre-show looking to the north. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested.

It's just a thin veneer of PR and lawsuits hiding the underlying authoritarian takeover of the government.
EVERYTHING the Regime does publicly is a distraction while they cement their hold over the population.
The Constitution is no longer in effect. We no longer have Rights.
#DonLemonRelease the Epstein files
I don't believe every allegation in the Epstein-Trump files is accurate.
I also don't care.
Unless you think someone went back in time to fake all the emails that mention Trump, the page in Epstein's birthday book, all the photos, and all of the other pieces of evidence, there's more than enough.
The Boss speaks.

Donald Trump is a pedophile.
Craig: "I would remind my Republican colleagues -- you didn't take an oath to a president, you took it to the Constitution. Start acting like patriots, or I can promise you there are a lot of patriots right now who are gonna step up and make sure that you have a hell of a time in your election."
Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."
Is this the ultimate reckoning for a country that has marched onward through the genocide of native Americans and the ceaseless evil of the kidnapping, torture and enslavement of millions of Black Africans as it built its economy and pursued its future?

DM me? We used to get hundreds of highly qualified applicants for a single job posting. Good prosecutors are increasingly hesitant to work for this DOJ.
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

The Trump Administration’s pattern is to LIE about shooting victims of federal immigration agents, calling them “domestic terrorists."
