Katie Phang on Todd Blanche's meeting with Epstein survivors: "If you can imagine being the victim of this type of horrific child sex abuse, and then in your mind the brass ring is 'Let me sit down with the top cop of our country to be heard,' and to have him be such a dismissive asshole."

The Trump Administration admitted in court that it canceled nearly 300 energy projects in states that didn't vote for Trump—and then lied about it.   These projects would have created jobs, lowered energy costs, & invested in communities. Instead, Trump used taxpayer dollars to play politics. (1/2)

Sr. Leticia Ugboaja, a nun detained by ICE while walking to Mass: "I'm just a small woman, a nun, armless[sic]*—just with my rosary, my keys, and my phone. I am not the only one... Before anyone is taken into custody, away from their parishes, give them the opportunity to be heard." *unarmed

Newly released audio reveals David Brouillette, the ICE agent who murdered a man in Maine, threatening to slit his ex-wife’s throat: “Every single female in your bloodline is nothing but a disgusting, fat c__t. All of you should have your throats slit.” Exactly the type of assassin ICE hires.
