ICYMI: watch this highlight reel from RFK Jr’s Senate hearings yesterday. What you heard is real. He was completely unhinged and disconnected from reality. It’s clear, Kennedy is dangerous and should never have been confirmed.
Outside the ICE facility in Broadview, IL this morning— Masked agents in unmarked cars are arriving at work. DHS will be using the de facto detention center as their main "processing" site for the impending Chicago ICE surge. Protesters are gathering, with a large number of press here as well.
Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in
DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list. He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."
