HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. https://t.co/FIErTJzxg4

Newly released files show how Maria Farmer, who worked for Mr. Epstein in the 1990s, had urged the F.B.I. to investigate him. The case went nowhere for years.

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie

This woman lays bare how ICE has structured its detention system to make immigrants disappear. If you miss your single phone call or fail to give your ID to the right person at the right moment.... That’s it. You’re black-holed and untraceable. This should horrify everyone.

The #DOJ vowed to punish protesters of Trump’s #immigration crackdown. In one case an agent called her injury a “boo-boo.” Grand jurors declined 3x to indict the protester for felony assault. Prosecutors tried her on a misdemeanor; video showed the agent scratched her own hand.

We knew he was bad at math, but this is ridiculous. The entire amount of all our imports was $3.3 trillion, so he's saying we collected six times that amount in tariffs on those goods! Grade: F.

The tariffs have generated less than $300 billion in new tax revenue, and other claimed investments don't come close to the president's tally.

After reversing this decision just a few weeks ago, and even physically coming to Capitol Hill to ensure that such a policy would not be implemented, the Coast Guard is now doubling down on classifying swastikas and nooses as merely "potentially divisive." Swastikas and nooses

NEW: The Coast Guard quietly went ahead with policy Monday that downgrades nooses and swastikas -- that it previously ID'd as hate symbols -- to just ‘potentially divisive.' This despite the acting commandant's directive that those symbols would be prohibited.

Remember when news broke that the Coast Guard would no longer categorize swastikas & nooses as hate symbols? That policy went into effect this week. As hate and antisemitism rise through our nation, this Admin should be ashamed for downplaying the meaning of these symbols.
