Trump's personal lawyer-turned-Attorney General nominee, Todd Blanche, gave him full immunity for any tax cheats and dodges he used before May 2026. Here's why this is the scandal everyone should be talking about: youtu.be/MOMO3nf364g?is…

The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Worth naming who's actually getting swept into this, since expired visas sounds abstract. Chantal Morales Rojas filed her extension paperwork before her visa lapsed, passed every DHS background check for three and a half years, and had an active work permit from the same agency that arrested her. Agents pulled her out of the jetway in Denver as a friend filmed her being marched down to the tarmac. A Ugandan woman with sickle cell anemia and a pending asylum claim was detained in her wheelchair. A newlywed married to a US citizen was taken into custody landing in Burbank with her husband standing right there. None of these people have criminal records. All of them had pending, lawful applications already filed. A lawyer with thirty eight years in immigration law said flatly he'd never seen this before. That's the actual headline, not the bureaucratic phrase visa overstay.

SCUMBAG 😡😡 ⚠️ JAILED: MAN BEAT DOG TO DEATH WITH METAL POLE IN REVENGE ATTACK ⚠️ Dean Mackay and his accomplice Daniel Devlin carried out a savage attack on a German Shepherd named Goldie after chasing her owner into a shop in Edinburgh . The pair had already confronted the man carrying a knife and hammer. When he got inside for safety, Mackay returned armed with a metal pole – he kicked Goldie then struck her on the head, breaking her neck and killing her instantly. Shocked shop staff hit the panic alarm as they fled. In court, Mackay admitted he used the pole and struck the dog, but claimed he never meant to kill her. The sheriff made clear there was no alternative to prison: he was jailed for 27 months and given a LIFETIME BAN from ever owning or keeping animals again. Sheriff Alison Stirling said: “You did this in public. This ban is to protect animals from you in the future

It’s going to get worse. “The Trump administration argued ahead of Tuesday’s court hearing that granting an exemption to the work requirement on the basis of a diagnosis alone would give too many people a pass who are physically capable of working, studying or volunteering.”

THIS IS F*CKING DISTURBING!!!🤯 A leaked Anthropic document just came out in court. Their own words: "Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world." Next line: "We don't want it to be known that we are working on this." They planned to shred every book on the planet, in secret. And they almost got away with it. It starts with theft. Anthropic stole 7 MILLION books from pirate sites to train Claude, because their CEO said paying authors was too much of a "slog." Then the lawsuits hit and they needed a legal way to keep going. So they hired the ex-head of Google Books and sent him to publishers to ask for permission. Publishers said no. That's when they found the loophole. Buy millions of real, physical books. Cut the spines off with a hydraulic blade, scan the loose pages, and throw what's left in recycling. One vendor offered to destroy 2 MILLION books in 6 months. That's 11,000 books a day. Now the insane part.. destroying the books is what made it legal. If you scan a book and keep it, that's a crime. If you scan it and shred it, that's fair use. A judge actually approved this, which means the shredder WAS the legal strategy. They still paid $1.5 billion for the stolen books, the biggest copyright settlement in history. Works out to $3,000 per book. And the scans are locked in Anthropic's private library forever. Nobody outside the company will ever see them. The authors got a shredded book and nothing else. The part I can't stop thinking about is that a book on a shelf lasts 500 years without power, wifi, or a subscription, and the AI it was destroyed for gets thrown away in 18 months. They killed something permanent to feed something disposable.

There’s men like Jared Leto in every industry. Women whisper to one another. They tell each other who to avoid. Everyone knows someone to be a pedophile and rapist, but nothing is done about it. This is the patriarchy. And it needs to end.

Today is ALSO the deadline for Todd Blanche to hand over key unredacted Epstein files. He needs to do so without any black boxes - for Judge Emmet Sullivan's private review. The fact that Todd Blanche has already refused to comply with the court order to release the Epstein files following Katie Phang's lawsuit, should have ended his bid to become AG, and be a more significant story. The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story. The fact that Trump said he wasn't ever on Epstein's plane and then we found out he was, should be a more significant story. The fact that senior officials gathered in the Situation Room to concoct and coordinate an Epstein coverup should be a most significant story, FFS. And when you combine ALL these stories and add to it his hiring of Alex Acosta, the birthday card, the innuendo Trump wrote on the card, the movement of Maxwell to a more lenient facility, and then - especially - his persistently panicked behavior on all things Epstein, it really should be the end of his presidency.

New evidence indicates that US Senator Lindsey Graham and Israeli Prime Minister planned to fabricate the sexual misconduct allegations against ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan to challenge the arrest warrants against Netanyahu. You still don't believe us when we say that they are the ones plotting to destroy our lives behind closed doors—and that they are experts at concealing any trace of their actions, leaving us unable to provide any evidence. When my bank accounts were closed in 2024, I wasn't shocked because I knew it was coming; that is why I hadn't used the account for anything other than buying coffee, paying for parking, and such normal things, and I hadn't received any funds into it—knowing full well they would fabricate a case to conceal their involvement. They tried to make me look not credible, but I made them look stupid. When questions were raised, the bank stated that the decision to close the account came from the Central Bank and that they did not know the reason. When further questions were asked, the bank suggested the matter might be linked to incoming funds; however, when we clarified that the account had received no funds from any sources—rather than small cash deposits—the bank speculated about a large purchase or withdrawal. When we explained that the account was used only for small expenses—like coffee, etc. amounting to just a few euros—the bank began looking for another reason, and I was prepared to address every explanation they put forward. Note: My bank accounts were closed just a few weeks before my wedding—what a coincidence! This caused the cancellation of several plans and forced me to borrow money. Eventually, one of the branch managers—whether out of courage or because he had actually been supportive of me prior to the closure of the bank accounts—told me that the reason was political. I even attempted to open accounts at other banks, only to have them closed immediately. Why? Because I called—at the United Nations—for Israel’s expulsion from the UN, the imposition of sanctions against it, and an end to the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon; and for purging the United Nations of the lobby that controls it from within. They are doing everything in their power to make us appear untrustworthy and completely insane, using conspiracy theories to do so. We did not lose everything for this; rather, we lost everything for the sake of humanity and to wake you up. Listen to us. I am financially censored to this day. I cannot have a bank account. I cannot have a credit or debit card.

Eduardo Aguirre was working in West Seattle when masked ICE agents arrested him and brought him to Texas, without any hearing or notification to his wife or attorney. He is married to a US citizen, owns a small business, has no criminal record, and has lived in the US for over 20 years. This is who ICE is targeting – not the so-called, "worst of the worst." DHS must immediately return Eduardo home to Washington state. These cruel tactics to speed up deportations and remove due process must stop. Disband ICE.

Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

⭕️ Two Israeli female soldiers photographed themselves posing beside a young, blindfolded Palestinian detainee who appears to be a minor and proudly posted the image on Instagram. The post, which circulated widely online and was reviewed by Drop Site News, was uploaded by Israeli soldier Nikol Stelmashvski as part of a 20-photo carousel containing additional images from her time in Gaza. Her account [@ nikol.stel, IG] has since been made private after the photo drew public backlash. The image is the latest in a documented pattern of Israeli soldiers publicly sharing evidence of Palestinian detainees being humiliated or abused. Such conduct violates international humanitarian law, which prohibits the degrading treatment of detainees.

Remember when Donald Trump said we didn't have enough money to fund SNAP?

Chicago teen shares his experience in ICE detention centers: I am 18 years old and I just graduated from high school in Chicago. I was in ICE detention for 2 months and 10 days. On March 17, my mother and I were at our ICE check-in appointment. My mother and I were separated for 2 months. They kept me in solitary for 2 days for no reason, alone in a room with just a toilet. At some places we were strip searched. We ate horrible food and it made us sick. They never let us go outside.
