Kristi Noem can only work with single syllable words

BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB  & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS  & THE COMMON ILLS  -- THE KOOL AID TABLE    

AS MORE AND MORE MEMBERS OF THE CHUMP ADMINISTRATION RUSH TO THE EXITS, SOME ARE NOT SO LUCKY AND MUST REMAIN IN THEIR POSITIONS FOR THE TIME BEING. THAT INCLUDES ONE HIGHER UP WHO DESPERATELY WANTS OUT BUT STATES HE IS BEING BLACKMAILED AND FORCED TO STAY.  AS A RESULT, HE IS WILLING TO SPILL ON LIMITED MATTERS.



TOM LAST NAME REDACTED: THERE'S NO NEED TO WORRY.  PETE JUST WANTS TO BE BELLE OF THE BALL.  IN FACT, IF YOU'RE A GENERAL WITH SOME ALLOCATION NEEDS, COMPLIMENTING PETE ON HIS EYES OR MAKE UP IS A SURE WAY TO GREASE THE WHEELS.  HE COMES OFF CROSS AND TOUGH BUT, DOWN DEEP, PETE JUST WANTS YOU TO TREAT HIM LIKE A LADY.  MAYBE PAT HIM ON THE ASS,, LINGER, BUT IGNORE THE WETNESS?

THESE REPORTERS:  THE WETNESS?

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED: PETE SUFFERS FROM JOCK P**SY SYNDROME.  ON THE PLUS SIDE, HE SAVES A FORTUNE ON LUBRICANTS. 

THESE REPORTERS:  SECRETARY OF HOMELAND INSECURITY KRISTI NOEM WAS ON CNN AND HOST KAITLIN COLLINS ASKED HER WHETHER SHE CONSIDERED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO BE A TERRORIST GROUP AND SHE REFUSED TO "REFUTE" THAT.  WHAT THE LITERAL F**K?

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED: I THINK TOO MUCH IS BEING MADE OF THAT.  YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT NOEM GETS CONFUSED WHEN A WORD HAS TOO MANY SYLLABLES.  

THESE REPORTERS:  HUH?

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED: TERRORISTS.  IT HAS TOO MANY SYLLABLES. 

THESE REPORTERS:  IT'S JUST THREE SYLLABLES.

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED:  THAT'S ABOUT TWO TOO MANY FOR KRISTI. 

THESE REPORTERS: FINALLY, WHAT IS IT THAT CHUMP HAS ON YOU THAT HE'S BLACKMAILING YOU WITH?  IS IT THE BRIBE YOU TOOK?

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED:  NO.  HE GOT AHOLD OF MY MEDICAL RECORDS.  WHEN I WAS 18 I WAS RUSHED TO THE E.R.  I WASN'T THAT APPEALING BACK THEN -- I MEAN, LOOK AT ME NOW -- SO NONE OF THE GIRLS WERE INTERESTED IN ME.  BUT I HAD NEEDS.  YOU UNDERSTAND?  NEEDS!  SO I HAD SEX WITH A RAT OR TRIED TO.  HE GOT HIS --

THESE REPORTERS:  THIS WAS A MALE RAT?

TOM LAST NAME REDACTED:  I ONLY FOUND THAT OUT LATER AT THE HOSPITAL.  HE GOT HIS CLAWS DEEP INTO MY UNIT AND I SCREAMED AND HOLLERED AND MY EMBARRASSED MOTHER FOUND ME AND RUSHED ME TO THE E.R.  CHUMP KNOWS THIS STORY BY PILFERING MY MEDICAL RECORDS.  HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO TELL EVERYONE THE STORY IF I QUIT MY POST.  AND THAT IT WAS AN AFRICAN PYGMY MOUSE AND, EVEN WITH THAT, IT WAS BIGGER THAN MY ENTIRE UNIT!  I CAN'T TAKE THAT KIND OF EMBARRASSMENT! I CAN'T!  THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING ME AND SHIELDING MY NAME.

THESE REPORTERS: NO PROBLEM, DIRECTOR HOMAN.  


FROM THE TCI WIRE:


Want to see something disgusting?  Steam this video at THE NEW YORK TIMES of an ICE agent slamming a woman to the ground.  Andy Newman and Luis Ferré-Sadurní report for the paper:

 A federal agent shoved a woman and pushed her to the floor in front of what appeared to be her two young children on Thursday during a confrontation at an immigration courthouse in Manhattan.

A video shows a wrenching encounter in a hallway of 26 Federal Plaza in which the woman and a girl are desperately clinging to the woman’s husband, who is being detained. Agents pull the hair of the woman and the girl to get them away from the man.

After agents pry the family apart and lead the resisting man away, the woman yells, “You guys don’t care about anything!” in Spanish at an agent who is trying to get her to leave and telling her, “Adios, adios.” She puts a hand on his chest, and he shoves her. When she tries to grab onto him, he pushes her down.

This is not America, let's not pretend that it is.  It's hell and it's brought you to be the tedious contributions of Convicted Felon Donald Chump and the corrupt Supreme Court. 

These are thugs unleashed by Donald Chump who are not bound by laws -- per the Supreme Court -- and who terrorize people daily.  And there is no real legal recourse presently, none at all.  Federal courts try to do their job and follow the law -- including the Constitution -- and for that Chump attacks them publicly and the Supreme Court nullifies them.  


That's why the mid-terms are so important.  


I see so much disgusting garbage right now.  And I'm not talking about Chump or MAGA for this point.  I'm talking about Democrats who don't have spines.  They've tried to toss transpeople to the side.  It's easier, they think, to abandon trans people than to fight for what's right.


It's probably is very easy for them.  They're spineless.  

But they'll abandon the trans community first and then they'll move on to --


Wait.  They've already moved on.  Ezra Klein's saying the Democratic Party has to give up support for reproductive rights (see Rebecca's "ezzie klein the fake democrat who's now attacking reproductive rights").


They're spineless and their cowards.  


They're not going to help us win in November 2026.  The American people will not reward the Democratic Party for cowardly abandoning principles as the spineless seek a quick fix.  

These same people are having a fit over Zohran's campaign.  There are reasons to criticize him -- true of any politician.  But the spineless are doing nothing to help us turn out votes.  


Reproductive freedom is a very popular position with the American public.  Republicans realize that which is why they don't like a referendum on reproductive rights at election time.  

These Ezra Klein's know nothing.  Let's remember what that spineless crap is noted for: Lying.

Journo-List was about lying.  That was Klein's baby.  It was an attempt to fool the American people.  A number of journalists got on this list-serv that Klein started.  It was there where they told the truth and it was there where they sought feedback on how to lie.


Katha Pollitt watches Sarah Palin's national debut as John McCain's running mate and she freaks out.  She takes it to the private list where she says that Sarah seemed likeable -- the horror! -- and she gets the feedback she needs to write, the very next day, at THE NATION about how awful Sarah Palin is, how uninspiring, how this, how that.


A leftist is a sexist pig nightly on MSNBC.  We've never pimped him here so we'll leave him unnamed but I'm sure most will know who I mean -- he's no longer with MSNBC.  Do his leftist peers hold him accountable?  No.  On the private list-serv they talk about how hateful he is towards women.  But Scott Horton -- not ANTIWAR.COM's Scott Horton, this is the attorney who got trouble for misrepresenting his credentials -- and I'm oh-so-glad to have been a part of that take down -- Scott could say sure he's a sexist pig but he calls out torture so let's not say anything about his sexism.


These people are liars.  They are filth.  They were paid for their opinions and they didn't share them with you.  They did share on the private list-serv and they plotted there how to be 'on point' and how to trick and deceive.


No one needs that but that's all Ezra has to offer.


No Democrat has to endorse Zohran.  My personal opinion is you should only endorse in a race you can vote in.  You know what race all Americans can vote in?  The race for president.


We remember that, right?  Last November.  The only real choices were Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.  


Each month the Michigan Green Party sends an announcement to us.  I like them.  In the past, for years, I've included everything they've e-mailed.


2024 changed that.  Jill Stein had no shot at winning and shouldn't have run to begin with.  She ran a lousy campaign in 2012 and we noted that after the campaign.  That she would be given a chance in 2016 was bad enough.  Again in 2024?  Ridiculous.  You're not a real party.  That's reality.  But the other reality?  You're not trying to be a real party.  First off, a real party doesn't nominate the same person three times.  Especially not a third time when the country is getting tired of all the elderly people in elected office and Jill was 74 years old. 


There's more.  In 2023, Jill and the ethically challenged Chris Hedges tried to make Cornel West the nominee.  Cornel eventually caught on that what they were promising couldn't be delivered.  They tried to top-down force him on the party.  This was after Chris and Cornel were going to be the nominees for whatever that fringe party was.  And most people don't even know that to this day.  Cornel, early in his People's Party -- that's what it was -- made the mistake of being honest in an interview and talking about how Chris recruited him for the presidential candidate and Chris was going to be his running mate but then at the last moment Chris' wife convinced Chris not to run and blah blah blah.


Why does it matter?  Because Chris LIED in interviews and in the written word (online, I don't believe anyone bothers to print that crackpot's nonsense anymore).  That's the mind set of the Ezra Klein's in fact.  


I have my problems with DSA and I've   noted that at this site many, many times oer the years. 


Zohran's saying he's a Socialist.  That takes care of my biggest problem -- lying to voters.


So while Ezra's trying to trick voters and weaken the party, Zohran's being honest and possibly bringing in voters to the Democratic Party.  We'll see with the election.  


If someone doesn't want to endorse him, they shouldn't.  And people should shut up about Chuck Schumer.  If Chuck doesn't want to endorse him, that's fine.


And I'm sure Zohran's fine with it.  2024 was between Kamala and Chump.  And Zohran refused to endorse Kamala.  Was part of movement to get people to not to vote for Kamala.


If people are bothered by this (see Stan's "Rachel Maddow and Kamala Harris" and Rebecca's "big tent? doesn't work just 1 way"), that is their right.


But, at his best, Zohran is trying to enlarge the party.  And there's a great discussion about that now, about how to bring in leftists who aren't Democrats into the party.  The way the GOP used to work to bring Libertarians into the party in other decades or the way today's GOP works to bring White Nationalists and KKK into their party.  


While Zohran tries to bring leftists into the party, Ezra is working to try to drive leftists out of the party.

Sweaty and winded, Chump struggles in front of our eyes

BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB  & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS  & THE COMMON ILLS  -- THE KOOL AID TABLE   

CELEBRITY FAILURE AND CONVICTED FELON DONALD CHUMP IS HAVING ANOTHER POOR WEEK.  HE'S BOTHERED BY A STATUE INSTALLED AT THE NATIONAL MALL DEPICTING HIM AND HIS PEDOPHILE FRIEND JEFFREY EPSTEIN HOLDING HANDS.


REACHED FOR COMMENT, CHUMP TOLD THESE REPORTERS -- MUST CREDIT  BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB  & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS  & THE COMMON ILLS   -- THAT HE WAS VERY TICKED BY THE STATUE.

"FIRST," HE HUFFED, "THEY MADE ME LOOK FAT AND I AM THE PICTURE OF PERFECTION.  IN FACT, I AM HOT.  I AM THE HOTTEST MAN IN THE UNITED STATES.  I AM HUGE WHEN IT COMES TO HOT.  JOHN KRASINSKI TOLD ME HE WAKES UP CRYING EVERY MORNING BECAUSE HE'S NOT AS HOT AS ME  NO MATTER HOW MANY CRUNCHES HE DOES.  SECOND, HOLDING HANDS?  WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO SAY?  I NEVER HELD HANDS WITH JEFF!  WE DOCKED COCKS BUT THAT WAS ONLY WHEN THERE WEREN'T ANY WOMEN AROUND!"

CHUMP ATTEMPTED TO DEMONSTRATE HOW THE DOCKING TOOK PLACE BUT GOT EXHAUSTED AND DIZZY DUE TO HAND MOTION.  WHILE THE WINDED OLD MAN ATTEMPTED TO CATCH HIS BREATH, THESE REPORTERS INFORMED HIM THAT THE MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN, HAD SAID CHUMP WAS "RACIST, SEXIST AND ISLAMOPHOBIC." 

BENT OVER, HANDS ON KNEES, STILL TRYING TO CATCH HIS BREATH, CHUMP WHEEZED, "THANK YOU.  THANK YOU SO MUCH."


WE THOUGHT ABOUT CORRECTING HIS MISUNDERSTANDING THAT (A) THE WORDS WERE COMPLIMENTS AND (B) THAT WE WERE THE ONES STATING THEM BUT HE SEEMED TO BE STRUGGLING JUST TO APPEAR PRESENT.  INSTEAD, THESE REPORTERS ASKED HIM ABOUT THE NEW POLL WHICH FOUND 76% OF AMERICANS QUERIED SAID THAT CHUMP DID NOT DESERVE THE NOBEL PRIZE.


CHUMP TOSSED HIS HEAD BACK AS HE LOOKED UP TO THE SKY AND HOLLERED, "YOU HEAR THAT, IVANA? I'VE TRICKED 24% OF THE POPULATION!  WINNING!" 


SINCE CHUMP EARLIER RAISED THE ISSUE OF HIS HEALTH, WE ASKED HIM ABOUT HIS UNITED NATIONS APPEARANCE YESTERDAY.  WHEN THE ESCELATOR WENT OUT, HE APPEARED TO STRUGGLE CLIMBING THE STEPS.  HIS FACE LOOKED FLESHY AND SWEATY.  HIS STEPS SEEMED UNSTEADY.

CHUMP INFORMED THESE REPORTERS, "THEY'RE GOING TO HELL.  THEY'RE ALL GOING TO HELL.  THEY NEVER APPRECIATED ME.  AND I DID A FINE WALK UP THOSE STEPS.  I REALLY THREW MY BADONK-A-DONK INTO IT.  MY MILK SHAKE BRINGS ALL THE PETE HEGSETHS TO THE YARD AND DAMN RIGHT, IT'S BETTER THAN YOURS -- LITTLE SHRIMP [JD VANCE] GETS MAD WHEN I REMIND HIM OF THAT."

THE ESCALATOR STOPPED WORKING AS DID THE TELEPROMPTER.  IN RESPONSE, PROPAGANDA PIG KAROLINE LEAVITT BEGAN MAKING THREATS AS SHE WENT FULL ON NUT JOB WITH HER TIN-FOILED HAT CONSPIRACY THEORY THAT THIS WAS PEOPLE WORKING AGAINST CHUMP, PEOPLE WHO "NEED TO BE FIRED AND INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY."

"YES," CHUMP DECLARED NODDING SERIOUSLY.  "YES.  THAT WOULD BE YES."


THESE REPORTERS REPLIED BACK, "WELL ACTUALLY THAT WASN'T A QUESTION BUT THANK YOU.  OUR QUESTION WAS DID YOU SCREEN PROPAGANDA PIG BEFORE HIRINING HER?  THE ESCALATOR STOPPED WORKING BECAUSE OF YOUR VIDEO TEAM STEPPING ON IT  APPARENTLY YOUR WEIGHT, THE WEIGHT OF THE EQUIPMENT AND THE VIDEO TEAM WAS JUST TOO MUCH.   AND THE TELEPROMPTER WAS NOT FURNISHED BY THE UNITED NATIONS.  THAT WAS THE WHITE HOUSE TELEPROMPTER."

"THE WHITE HOUSE TELEPROMPTER YOU SAY?"  CHUMP SAID LOOKING CONFUSED FOR A MOMENT.  HE STARED AT THESE REPORTERS FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 SECONDS BEFORE HE SEEMED TO JOLT BACK TO LIFE AND DECLARED, "JOE BIDEN!  SLEEPY JOE!  THAT'S WHAT IT WAS!  JOE BIDEN BROKE THE TELEPROMPTER.  OR MAYBE HE PAID IT OFF!  OR POSSIBLY IT'S A DISLOYAL TELEPROMPTER!  I'LL HAVE TO TAKE TULSI GABBARD OFF CAT LITTER BOX DUTY AND GET HER TO DO AN INVENTORY ON ALL OFFICE EQUIPMENT HERE DURING THE BIDEN REIGN AND HAVE HER ENSURE THAT PHONES, COPIERS, LAMINATORS AND PLEASURE DEVICES ARE LOYAL TO ME AND ME ONLY!"


FROM THE TCI WIRE:


On Epstein, let's note this from Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's office:


Latest episode of Making the Case available now on SpotifyApple, and YouTube

Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Courts Subcommittee, released the fourth episode of season two of his podcast, Making the Case.  In the new episode, Whitehouse is joined by Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA), who leads a bipartisan discharge petition in the House of Representatives calling on the Trump administration to release the full Jeffrey Epsteinfiles, with redactions to protect survivors.  

“Trump and his MAGA underlings at the Department of Justice and FBI are brazenly breaking promises and doing everything in their power to cover up what’s hidden in the Epstein files.  If not for the bipartisan work of the determined Rep. Khanna, the American people would still be in the dark on key documents from Epstein’s estate and other closely held secrets,” said Whitehouse.  “Rep. Khanna is a champion for justice and transparency in Washington, and I’m thrilled to have him on this next episode of Makingthe Case to break down the latest developments in the Epstein Files saga.”

The fourth episode of season two of Making the Case is now available on SpotifyApple PodcastsYouTube, and other podcast platforms.

Whitehouse has long been the Senate’s leading voice for improving transparency and accountability in politics and in Washington, delivering a series of speeches on the Senate floor about the special interest scheme to capture the judicial branch.  In August, Whitehouse wrote a letter to the director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons demanding more information on the transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison camp in Texas.  Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and Jeffrey Epstein associate, was transferred without explanation to the cushy prison camp after an unusual visit by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

Whitehouse and Khanna have previously teamed up to investigate corruption in the fossil fuel industry, and introduced legislation to crack down on profiteering by Big Oil and return the industry’s excessive gains to working people.



Of course, Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out on MSNBC last night, Chump has The Epstein Files scandal to deal with but he also now has the Tom Homan scandal to deal with.



Note the clip of Homan O'Donnell plays from Homan's chat with mannish Laura Ingraham.  How dare anyone question him!  He has sacrificed for 34 years!  


I'm so sorry, Tom, which years did you serve in the armed service?


None, right?


But he wants to maintain working for the US government has been a sacrifice -- and a sacrifice for multiple decades. 


Anyone familiar with criminal law is aware that those kind of self-aggrandizing statements are the justifications that criminals make for taking bribes or stealing money.


So file it under "How To Confess Wihtout Dirctly Saying I'm Guilty."

 
Yesterday on MSNBC's THE WEEKNIGHT, US House Rep Jasmine Crockett provided the walk through on what Homan is accused of and how to pursue it. 


Again, it is The Homan Files scandal and it's further corruption on display.

 


Joe Patrice (ABOVE THE LAW) writes:


Over the weekend, it came out that Tom Homan, one of the senior architects of the Trump administration’s immigration policy, allegedly took $50K from undercover FBI agents posing as business executives hoping to bribe their way into government contracts if Trump won. He’s said to have accepted the funds — which the FBI reportedly captured on video — in a Cava bag. If the fast food chain doesn’t immediately capitalize on this with some sort of marketing campaign, then I’ve lost all faith in them.
Homan, interestingly enough, put himself front-and-center of the move to drop the Eric Adams bribery case. Homan never came across as the proper spokesperson for the administration’s decision, highlighted when he seemed to confirm a quid pro quo for dropping the Adams case, but in retrospect, he might have had a vested interest in putting out the message that bribery isn’t anything to be ashamed of.



On the topic of ICE, Dave Levinthal (CJR) reports:

Since late December, J. Dale Shoemaker, a reporter for the Investigative Post, a nonprofit newsroom based in Buffalo, has filed seventeen Freedom of Information Act requests with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and US Customs and Border Protection to guide his deep dives into federal law enforcement activity, deportation actions, and ICE detention centers in upstate New York. In return, he says, he has gotten only documents that were redacted beyond comprehension, or nothing at all. “I have not received a satisfactory response to a single one of them,” Shoemaker said.

Ryanne Mena, of the Los Angeles Daily News, sent ICE a FOIA request on January 24 for all grievance forms filed by detainees at facilities in Adelanto, California, between 2016 and early 2025. Nearly eight months later, she said, she’s received nothing: ICE “has failed to provide me with an estimated date of production despite repeated requests.” 

Monica Eng, a reporter for Axios, filed a FOIA request with ICE in February, seeking data she hoped would inform stories about where and why agents were apprehending people in Illinois. At first, she said, ICE officials appeared willing to cooperate. But by March, ICE had denied Eng’s request in full, citing “ongoing law enforcement investigations.” Axios filed an administrative appeal with ICE, but hasn’t received a response. “I have filed a lot of FOIAs, and my requests to the Trump Department of Homeland Security have been some of the least successful and least transparent,” Eng said.

ICE and CBP have become centerpieces of President Donald Trump’s quest to deport millions of undocumented immigrants from US soil through aggressive law enforcement tactics and billions of dollars in new federal funding. But CJR spoke to nearly two dozen reporters, editors, and other people at news organizations and open-records watchdog groups across the country who have filed FOIA requests with the agencies, and who say that ICE and CBP officials routinely deny or ignore those requests. The agencies have never been particularly open with the press, but many reporters believe that their experience is part of an enhanced effort by the Trump administration to conceal immigration agency operations, even in possible violation of federal law. Some also described the agencies’ press offices as functionally useless, with media officials providing few, if any, answers to even their most basic of inquiries.

Chioma Chukwu, the executive director of American Oversight, a nonprofit organization that advocates for public access to government records, said ICE and Border Protection have an “abysmal” track record of transparency. Of 137 requests her group has filed with ICE and CBP over the course of 2025, there has been a “substantive response” to just one—“and that took almost seven months,” Chukwu said. “ICE and CBP remain among the slowest and least transparent agencies we deal with, routinely flouting FOIA’s requirements and denying the public timely access to information about their operations.” 

This stonewalling comes at a time when ICE—and its parent organization, the Department of Homeland Security—has repeatedly cracked down on journalism about its operations. The department has described the video recording of ICE agents as “violence,” with a department spokesperson promising to prosecute those who “illegally harass ICE agents to the fullest extent of the law.” Multiple reporters have been arrested or injured while covering protests or anti-ICE rallies, including Salvadoran journalist Mario Guevaram, who was detained while covering a rally in Georgia in June, and Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi, who was shot in the leg with a rubber bullet as she reported on an anti-ICE protest in Los Angeles. In early September, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction ordering DHS to stop using “nonlethal” weapons against journalists. “Under the guise of protecting the public, federal agents have endangered large numbers of peaceful protesters, legal observers, and journalists—as well as the public that relies on them to hold their government accountable,” the judge wrote. “The First Amendment demands better.”

Some news outlets told CJR they believe that, in ICE’s and CBP’s handling of their FOIA requests, the agencies are themselves violating federal law by ignoring statutory deadlines or failing to respond altogether. By law, government agencies must determine within twenty business days whether to fulfill or deny a FOIA request and “immediately notify” the requester of their decision. Agencies may also extend this deadline because of “unusual circumstances.” If fulfilling a FOIA request requires significant time, agencies are required by law to offer requesters an “opportunity to arrange with the agency an alternative time frame for processing the request or a modified request.” Requesters have the right to appeal agencies’ FOIA determinations, and if all else fails, they may sue the government in federal court.

Now why would ICE have anything to hide?  Travis Gettys (RAW STORY) reports:

Federal agents caught and detained a 5-year-old girl to lure her immigrant father outside the family's home following a brief traffic pursuit, according to a report.

Video of the incident Tuesday in Leominster, Massachusetts, captures the family's anguished screams as Immigration and Customs Enforcement held the 5-year-old girl outside after chasing her father, Edward Hip, a Guatemalan man who has lived in the U.S. for 22 years, reported WBTS-CD.

"Is that your daughter? Come here so I can see those IDs," one of the agents said, according to the video.

The girl's mother tells the agents her daughter is on the autism spectrum and begs for her return, saying agents had grabbed the girl as she followed her father inside.

Wow, acting like the mafia by targeting someone's child.  File it under "Another proud moment for ICE."  In fact, John Ross Ferrara (KRON) has another proud moment to cover:


U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested a man inside the Wiley Manuel Courthouse in Oakland following a pre-trial hearing on Sept. 15, according to a statement issued by Alameda County public defender Brendon Woods on Monday.

Two ICE agents in plain clothes allegedly detained the man in a courthouse hallway and took him out of the building to waiting, unmarked vehicles. Agents took him to an ICE detention facility, where he remains in federal custody, according to Woods.
“ICE raids at our courthouses must stop immediately,” Woods said in a statement. “People who follow a judge’s orders to attend court should not have to fear federal agents kidnapping them and dragging them away to detention centers. Our democracy cannot function if this continues.”
The ICE arrest was the first made in an Alameda County courthouse under the authority of President Donald Trump, according to Woods. 

“Everyone -- our clients, victims, witnesses, staff, lawyers -- deserves to participate without fear,” Woods said. “Our justice system loses legitimacy when people do not feel safe entering a courthouse. We cannot allow a racist, authoritarian regime to interfere with our local courts like this. It’s time to pick a side. Either you allow this to happen to members of our community or you take action to prevent it.”

    FROM THE TCI WIRE:



    Yesterday, some of' the survivors of Julian Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's abuse took part in a press conference calling for justice and closure.  Many spoke to the media throughout the day after the conference.   On MSNBC, for example, last night Lawrence O'Donnell spoke with survivor Jena-Lisa Jones.

     




    President Trump probably hoped the long Labor Day weekend would help him outrun his political troubles. Instead, his absence from public view only seemed to sharpen the mounting questions about his health and fitness for office.

    Unfortunately for Trump, one trouble never comes alone. The explosion of chatter around Trump’s health might have Americans questioning whether the president is up to the job, but it hasn’t distracted them from demanding the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. People want to know how their president was involved with the nation’s most notorious child sex trafficker — and, for once, they aren’t buying into Trump’s cynical distractions.  
    Where are the Epstein files, Mr. President?

    After an August spent trying (and failing) to move on from Trump’s Epstein connection, Republicans have returned to Washington to find Epstein’s victims still waiting by House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) door. Far from cooling the temperature regarding the Epstein documents, the August recess seems to have given Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) time to build bipartisan consensus around their release. If Khanna and Massie get their way, Trump may soon have a black eye to match his bruised hands. 
    Watchdog organizations are pressing for answers, even if most congressional Republicans aren’t. Last week, the nonpartisan Democracy Defenders Fund filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration demanding the full release of all files related to the Epstein investigation — not just the same already-public documents the Department of Justice has falsely touted as “new” information. They argue, rightly, that transparency isn’t optional in a democracy, even if that transparency implicates the sitting president in potentially criminal misconduct.  


    From there, let's go to someone who stumbles.  Justin Boggs (SCRIPPS NEWS) types:

    Survivors who were exploited by Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring on Wednesday called for full transparency after Congress released thousands of pages of documents to the public.

    Epstein was a convicted sex offender accused of victimizing hundreds of young women. At a news conference, Lisa Phillips said survivors are compiling their own list of people who abused Epstein's victims.


    No, Justin, after Congress re-released 97% of pages of documents.  We don't need to provide cover of lies.  Only 3% of what Congress released yesterday was new.  97% was already publicly available.

    This statement Justin later types makes clear that he knows that, "Most of the documents released Tuesday contained information that had already been made public through court filings and other records."  That sentence belongs in the article first paragraph.  Instead Justin buries it in paragraph ten.  Back to his article:

    "We know the names. Many of us were abused by them," she said. "We will confidentially compile the names we all know are regularly in the Epstein world."

    Phillips said many people knew of Epstein's abuse.
    "Why was he allowed to sponsor visas for young models using their immigration status as leverage to abuse them and silence them?" Phillips said. "Epstein was not just a serial predator; he was an international human trafficker. And many around him knew this, many participated, and many profited — and yet he was protected."

    Phillips was among those calling for transparency.


    Also stumbling is a member of Congress.  Evan Williams (TAG24) notes, "MAGA Congressman James Comer claimed on Tuesday that Ghislaine Maxwell had 'exonerated' President Donald Trump during an interview with the Department of Justice."  Comer's a liar or an idiot -- probably both.  Pope Leo might be able to exonerate someone with a statement because the new pope is trusted.  Jizzy Pants Maxwell?  She's a convicted felon as is her dead partner Epstein.  In her two days of chatting with air head Todd Blanche, Jizzy Pants insisted she was innocent and that so was Epstein.  A liar like that?  They can lie but they can't exonerate. 


    It's a point survivor Teresa J. Helm made in Wednesday's press conference.  Sarah K. Burris (RAW STORY) reports:


    "What I will say is she got this airtime and platform. Her voice was elevated way before our voices were elevated here today," said Hyelm. "And the same calm, manipulative voice that she had — so polite, there, that day with Todd Blanche, was the same polite, coercive, manipulative voice that I heard as she was grooming me to then send me off to the home of Jeffrey Epstein, where he would assault me."

    The same attempt to build a relationship and try to garner trust was what Helm said she experienced. She was convinced she was about to start her "dream job" for which she'd been recruited from college. She was flown from Los Angeles to New York City for an interview.

    "So, I thought her voice that day was the same voice that sent me off to a monster," she added.

    Helm also noted that she thinks nothing can be believed that comes out of Maxwell, because she's already been caught with perjury.

    "I myself could sit there and listen as I did, I sat there and listened, listen to this woman's voice, lie, and there was no pushback from Todd Blanche, because — does he even have the facts to be able to push back on her?" Helm asked. "We could sit there and push back. Why didn't we get to attend that? Why weren't we there that day, or why wasn't even one of us consulted prior to that day in that meeting? And why on Earth has she been moved from Florida to her — it's basically a prison spa. I mean, you know, let's be real."

    She explained that none of the survivors were consulted ahead of the meeting or even told that the interview would happen.


    One of the many survivors speaking at yesterday's press conference was Marina Lacerda.  Kelly Rissman (INDEPENDENT) explains:


    The woman credited with helping to indict Jeffrey Epstein has spoken out for the first time in the decades since she was first abused by the disgraced financier at age 14.

    Marina Lacerda was part of a vast network of victims who were abused by Epstein as a teenager. Until now, she was identified as an unidentified minor victim in the 2019 federal indictment against the disgraced financier.

    Joining lawmakers and a group of survivors in Washington, D.C. Wednesday, Lacerda, 37, shared details of her abuse by Epstein and demanded the complete release of the so-called Epstein Files.

    “I never thought that I would find myself here,” she said. “The only reason I’m here is because it feels like the people who matter in this country finally care about what we have to say.”

    She first met Epstein in 2002 in New York when she was just 14, according to the 2019 indictment.

    The young Brazilian immigrant was a freshman in high school at the time, working three jobs to try to support her mom and her sister. That’s when a friend told her she could make $300 by giving an “older guy” a massage, she said at a Wednesday press conference on Capitol Hill.

    “It went from a dream job to the worst nightmare,” Lacerda said.



    Let's note some reactions from ten community sites:


    Stan: But that was scary and I couldn't believe anyone would harm my aunt because she was so warm, sweet and funny.  As the survivors spoke out today, I kept thinking about that and how sick some people are.  Maxwell is sick.  Epstien was sick.  Maxwell is still alive.  She needs to be back in a real prison. And the president of the United States needs to be defending the survivors, not attacking them.


    Ann:   The survivors shined today and as Chump attacked them, they just stuck to the truth and shined even brighter.  We need to see some justice on this issue and we need to see some closure.  Our government has to stand with the survivors or our government is not of the people, it's against the people. 

    Marcia:  Today, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell spoke out.  The world's a little better as a result.  When brave voices tell the truth, it makes a difference. Chump immediately attacked them and called them a "hoax."  Doesn't matter.  Many people heard them and some for the first time.  This helped the nation.  I applaud these survivors and want to see justice for them.  Release the files.  That's a demand we need to make to honor those who were betrayed by the justice system and the Alex Acostas. 


    Kat:  They are not going to go away.  They are not going to be dismissed.  They were ignored and threatened as girls and young women and they're not having it anymore nor should they.  We need to join their call and demand all the records be released.  We need to join their call and make it clear that Maxwell belongs in a real prison and not the social club Chump moved her to weeks ago.  She is a convicted sex trafficker and pedophile.  She has stood trial and been sentenced to 20 years behind bars. 

    Rebecca:  crooks.  they're like the supreme court.  they're not going to police themselves, so they're not to need outsiders to do it.  i think we'll be seeing some much needed reforms after we've watched chump and his family work overtime to make millions via their corruption.  but he's a predator and that's what predators do.  he's a predator who was friends with jeffrey epstein and ghislaine maxwell and that's why the orange creep is not helping the survivors.  he doesn't care about and he never did.  truth be told, he was probably pushing himself on underage girls. chump is disgusting.  and before this is all over, maga will realize that and will grasp how he played them. 

    Elaine:  Nothing but lies from Chump and his administration.  Today, disgusting Donald made a point to attack the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.  Chump is a con artist.  He's exposed himself to the American people.

    Trina:  Chump is a liar.  And he is a liar who does not care about the America people.  He's part of the swamp he once pretended to want to drain.  He's destroying our earth.  That is just who he is, a dangerous criminal.   And that is why he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to Club Fed and why he is attacking the survivors abused by Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.

    Betty: Important day as survivors publicly spoke out and demanded justice.



    They spoke out even as Chump attacked them. As US House Rep Jasmine Crockett noted, clearly the White House was the hostile actors.



    They are not a hoax and they will not be silenced.





    When the truth is spoken, we're all a little bit stronger as a result.  We're inspired to speak more truth.  We're encouraged to stand with those in need.  Doing the right thing becomes very important.

    Thank you to all the survivors who spoke today and who inspired us and who remembered the importance of humanity and that democracy requires a strong public square where the truth can be spoken and embraced.  


    Mike:  Donald Chump is disgusting.  He has two daughters.  I only have one daughter.  But this is something that we all need to call out and that's especially true if you are a father.  What was done to these women by Epstein and Maxwell?  Those are crimes.  And these women were failed.  It's time for us, as a country to make this right.  To make it clear that grooming and abuse is not acceptable and that destroying people's lives is not acceptable.  We need to stand with the survivors to show them the support that they shouldn't have gotten all along and we need to stand with the survivors to embrace our own humanity.  Donald Chump is disgusting and so is anyone else protecting the criminals Epstein and Maxwell and standing in the way of the survivors getting justice and getting closure. 

    Ruth:   And that is the reality before we factor in Mr. Chump's efforts to silence those who survived the abuse of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. 






    Did everyone catch the slap Chump gave Robert Kennedy Junior?  Just wondering.  He's mocking those wanting the Kennedy assassination records released.  


    Dementia Donald Chump:  It remind me a little of the Kennedy situation.  We gave them everything.  Over and over again.  More. And more.  And more. And nobody's ever satisfied. 


    Somebody better check on Junior and they especially better check on the worm in Junior's brain after Chump landed that bitch slap to Junior's head.
