UPDATE: House Oversight is convening a private roundtable with survivors of Epstein’s abuse. This is a testament to our pressure. I look forward to hearing from survivors & won't stop pushing for a full, public hearing so their stories are documented in the Congressional Record.

It is just wild to me that the largest facility used during Japanese internment will now be used to intern immigrants from ICE raids, people who are disappeared by masked officers off the streets, and there is still a debate about whether naming and shaming those doing it is fair.

Once more for those in back: They were never going to be able to implement a mass deportation program without prioritizing people like this. Criminals and gang members are too hard to find and apprehend. Regular folks who show up to work, church, and their scheduled immigration appointments are not.

Exposing a NOC agent will get an entire network of intelligence assets wiped out and potentially spill classified secrets which seriously damage US national security. Gabbard has now done that and intentionally.
Denise Wheeler (@denisedwheeler.bsky.social) reposted
🧵Last week, on the explicit orders of her Führer, Gabbard revoked the security clearances of 37 individuals named on a list who had been marked for retribution by Trump. One of the 37 names released publicly was a CIA NOC agent, a covert operative, who Gabbard has now exposed and compromised.

NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:

The Democratic Party today, with very few exceptions, is too weak to lead the United States out of this crisis. An overhaul from top to bottom is needed. People with more courage and less greed. Young and strong and not afraid of the donors. Right now, it’s all about the next insider trading deal.

Okay. So there's a lot of uncertainty about how "free and fair" the 2026 midterms are going to be. If you forced me to speculate, my *low confidence* prediction is that they'll be less free and much less fair than in 2024.
Dan Nexon (@dhnexon.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
One of the many ways the regime fights back is to try to use its considerable resources to wedge apart those coalitions. And it often succeeds, because it is *very* hard to hold together politically diverse coalitions *even* when elections are free and fair.
