Breaking: CoreCivic has announced they've sold the 1,600 bed Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton, Minn., to the U.S. through the Department of Homeland Security for $495.6 million. CoreCivic will still manage the facility, which is expected to start receiving ICE detainees this fall.

Consumer-facing "A.i." induces "A.i. psychosis" because these billionaire creeps have designed their chatbots to slavishly praise those who interact with them. Slavery destroys the moral center of the slaver. Slavish attention and unrelenting, uncritical flattery destroys people's minds.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

'[T]hen-Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a memo directing U.S. attorneys in select districts to charge those protesters, as well as people who interfered with law enforcement, "with the highest provable offense available under the law."' www.npr.org/2026/08/03/n...

She protested ICE raids. Then agents showed up at her door

The Justice Department is using federal conspiracy charges to sweep up ICE protesters. Some legal experts worry the agency is casting too wide a net to prosecute political activists.

Noticed Caitlin Clark’s overall +/- which is +103 when she’s on the court. Teammates Kelsey Mitchell (+186), Aliyah Boston (+131) and even Sophie Cunningham (+106) are better. Clark plays more minutes than all but Mitchell. I guess defense matters. (Miles is +248 & Howard leads league at +278).

Sophie Cunningham should shut up and dribble 🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess when you play 23mins and only score 3pts you have time for conservative hate slop politics. She will be a Fox News host in no time.

Defendants in the Cities Church protest case have received plea offers to reduce conspiracy charges from felony to misdemeanor. But feds have struggled to prosecute anti-ICE protesters, including dropping many charges for impeding a federal agent. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Federal prosecutors have offered plea agreements to most Cities Church defendants

At the moment, it doesn’t appear that any of the 29 defendants offered plea agreements have accepted them. If accepted, defendants’ conspiracy charges would be reduced from felonies to misdemeanors.

Breaking: DC US Atty Jeanine Pirro has moved to dismiss charges against former Olympic canoeist David Hearn for allegedly vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Motion to dismiss cites "flawed installation by the contractor"…

Almost immediately after work was initially completed, peeling was observed along the pool perimeter. The NPS engineer's June 11, 2026, email stated that the cause of the damage was contractor error via "overspray"; that the peeled lining would not float; and that the peeling would "not impact the strength of the liner" The engineer's report also suggests that removing the liner at the perimeter would have had no negative impact on the economic value of the liner. Moreover, the July 20, 2026, inspection by contractors confirmed that overspray and delamination had occurred, again pointing to contractor error. Finally, a recent visual inspection showed damage throughout the Reflecting Pool, even in the middle of the pool, where a vandal would not likely attempt to peel the lining. Given all of this newly discovered information, it is difficult to attribute the widespread damage to the Reflecting Pool to vandalism, let alone to establish that fact beyond a reasonable doubt. For all of these reasons, the government, in the exercise of its prosecutorial discretion, respectfully requests that the indictment be dismissed without prejudice. Respectfully submitted, JEANINE FERRIS PIRRO UNITED STATES ATTORNEY Michael P. Spence Assistant United States Attorney Chief, Superior Court Division
