The govt has fired *all* the immigration attorneys representing detained children and given a $150 million contract to a 26-employee law firm in Texas with ONE immigration attorney. @theyoungcenter.bsky.social's Child Advocates are now the last line of defense for kids in deportation hearings.

Wanna help? Become a Waymaker! We're running, walking, cycling 20,000 miles in September to raise money to get immigrant kids out of detention and back with family. Someone who kayaks to work is dedicating his miles to Waymakers! A salsa dance class is counting steps! It all counts! #BeAWaymaker

99% of GOP politicians voted to have the Epstein files released but 99% now, will vote in the person who has tried to protect the man he loves & who he works for, trump is in the Epstein files thousands of times trump told MTG that if release that it would hurt his other PEDOPHILE RAPIST friends

There should be huge billboards that just say: “The baby’s broken collarbone, the scalding hot water burns on the wife. Is this the government you want?”

We should all be extremely angry that a US Attorney brought a fraudulent case against a citizen to deflect responsibility from our fuckup leader. Every attorney with our current DOJ needs to be vetted when law and order is restored. youtu.be/tbxPzm9I3sA?...

I really HATE these people!!

26-employee Texas law firm gets $150M to represent 24,000 children in immigration court

None of the Burke Law Group’s lawyers list immigration law as an area of expertise, per the firm’s website.

In 1996, Congress imposed fines on undocumented immigrants. For 30 years, the government did not enforce those laws, and they were basically irrelevant. Enter Trump, and the US government is now fining dishwashers and delivery drivers more than rich friends of the President who stole billions.

Project Salt Box@projectsaltbox.com · yesterday

NEW: CBP is shopping for a contractor to track down people the US has deported to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala and collect unpaid immigration fines — debts that can top $1.8 million a person.

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president" Think about that America... A sitting US Senator acting like he cannot do a fkng thing about Trump, while he continues to vote to do nothing about Trump.

So now the next step is to find out what Capital One's months-long anti-money laundering review by professionals with decades of law enforcement experience discovered about Trump's 300+ accounts...

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · yesterday

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

It’s surreal watching the Trump Crime Syndicate dismantle every aspect of our Government The capitulation of so many for greed and power is pathetic Trump has corrupted every agency every beaucratic norm and the Republican Party has endorsed this complete corrupt makeover of our democracy

It’s not impotence of system. It’s a coup by one half of this nations political parties in pursuit of single party state. No system is immune to traitors.

Pretty convenient that Trump gets immunity from IRS audits for the year where he made, by far, the most money of his entire life in shady deals all over the globe. His should get a special “Trust me, bro” tax form from the IRS to submit.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

one of the many things about biden that pissed off our society's elites is that his administration had started - in a pretty small-bore and limited way - prosecuting the people who had defrauded the PPP program and that happens to include a huge % of small business tyrant types

Kirk Rudell@rudell.bsky.social · 3d ago

Shouldn’t be shocked at any lie RFK Jr tells, but he whined to Dana Bash that businesses were shut down during the pandemic “with no just compensation.” There was an almost trillion dollar PPP loan program, and his organization got millions from it, none of it paid back, to make payroll.

The sitting president of the United States got his accounts closed for money laundering and its barely news 🤯

Disgusting that ANY Republican Senator would vote for Blanche knowing he has made it clear he is the "President's lawyer" and not the lawyer for the people of the United States. I detest every damn one of them for having no integrity.

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

Also the Republicans were screaming that Fauci helped authorize vaccines for children, which is something every goddamn parent I know was praying for every day for more than a year and have been thankful for ever since. These people are all self-centered idiotic sociopaths, nothing more.

if you hated covid "lockdowns" try long covid

It is expected to cost roughly $8,500. It made its public debut June 7, when President Claudia Sheinbaum drove a prototype onto a stage near Mexico City, and manufacturing targeted for early 2027 at a proposed assembly site in Puebla. Charging from a standard household outlet is part of the plan

Since RFK Jr. is claiming covid was fake again, I'm going to remember the lady who had to watch her toddler die outside of an ER in India because they didn't have room to admit her.

every single day I am baffled by the fact that this man - this incredibly, astoundingly embarrassing man - is the one half the damn country built a cult of personality around

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”

Epstein ran a horrific child trafficking ring that the President and his friends participated in. Fauci asked you to stand six feet apart so your grandparents wouldn’t die alone in a nursing home. Let’s be for real here. We get midterms are coming, but attacking Fauci is over.

Trump is spending… -$95M for “D.C. Beautification,” including $5M to paint bronze horses gold -At least $300M to construct his ballroom -Nearly $15M to repaint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Meanwhile, millions of Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or healthcare. Priorities.

Whenever a frontier lab AI CEO says that AGI will create a utopia, I play out the following thought experiment; imagine the Trump administration had a computer that could answer any question correctly. Would that world be a utopia? Is the lack of AGI what prevents our world from being a utopia?

I'm not sure who hasn't stood back and looked at this yet, but donald trump did not change the republican party - he exposed it. The only thing he changed was how many people can see it now.

Anne Frank wasn’t beat or shot to death. She died of typhus due to unhygienic conditions in her concentration camp. ICE isn’t just killing the people it shoots. A detention center is just a death camp by a different name. And they’re quietly murdering everyday. Post Here: interactink.vercel.app

My parents have just spent an hour in the garden talking plants, birds, old times and food. Few things could make me happier. They usually re-fight their usual conflicts endlessly and pointlessly.
