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 Spotify, Apple, 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 Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, 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.”
