IF YOU ARE NEW HERE AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHY I’M SCREAMING

HERE IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THAT TIME I ALMOST LOST MY MIND AND THEN ACCIDENTALLY STARTED A CULT DEDICATED TO IDENTIFYING THE ADMINISTRATOR OF A NON-EXISTENT FEDERAL AGENCY

MAP: All 23 industrial warehouses ICE wants to turn into detention ‘death camps’ In an apparent attempt to avoid public outcry and scrutiny, ICE has sought to secure these leases in private. So we made a searchable map of every proposed site.

Just published this yesterday, will be updating it regularly

MAP: All 23 industrial warehouses ICE wants to turn into detention ‘death camps’ In an apparent attempt to avoid public outcry and scrutiny, ICE has sought to secure these leases in private. So we made a searchable map of every proposed site.

Opposition has been universal: residents of progressive bastions and conservative strongholds alike have rallied against the Trump administration’s plans to set up detention camps in their backyards.

And in five locations so far, communities have succeeded in telling ICE to kick rocks.

ICE agents shoot two, kill one, in regions targeted by far-right propaganda network The White House's propaganda network, which includes far-right influencers like Nick Shirley, targeted Minnesota in December with an expansive disinformation campaign.

Last October, the Trump admin formed a propaganda network of far-right content creators.

Since then, creators like Nick Shirley have curated highly edited content to create deceptive illusions of protest-induced warzones and rampant fraud rings allegedly orchestrated by immigrant communities.

We created a searchable database for the Epstein Files, including everything the DOJ wants hidden The repository will continue to grow as the Trump administration releases hundreds of thousands more documents from the investigation into Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.

The Justice Department’s “searchable” Epstein Files Library is garbage, so I made my own.

You can search by name, describe an image, find documents deleted by the Trump administration — anything you want! It’s all in there, and more will be added as more is released.

Our @camaron.bsky.social has you covered with a searchable database of all of them — even the ones they deleted: couriernewsroom.com/news/epstein...

Another fun find by @camaron.bsky.social: "Leaked Epstein Files talking points instruct Republicans how to point blame away from Trump"

Leaked Epstein Files talking points instruct Republicans how to point blame away from Trump The memo conveys an image of a party resigned to the fact that its leader will be implicated in one of the most extensive international sex trafficking operations in recent history.

The memo outlines how congressional Republicans should direct any discussion surrounding the contents of the Epstein Files away from Trump, and includes a list of accusations to hurl at journalists and Democratic lawmakers.

Economic boycott and sit-in protests at Home Depot’s are working After ignoring for months demands that they prohibit warrantless ICE raids from taking place on their property, Home Depot has finally begun to cave under the pressure from protestors.

Individually, the small act of civil disobedience may not seem like much. But collectively, it has grown into a problem large enough for the stores to take notice. After months of ignoring raids, followed by protests, the economic boycott and ice scraper returns forced executives to take notice.

Happy to do it! Hope it helps shine some light

We created a searchable database with all 20,000 files from Epstein’s Estate Easily find every mention of Trump, Clinton, blackmail, and potential sex crimes in the thousands of private messages between Epstein and his close associates.

Like most data dumps, what we got from Epstein’s Estate via Congress this week was unwieldy, disorganized, and impossible for anyone to search through quickly.

So I created a searchable database of all 20,000 documents.

COURIER’s National Correspondent @camaron.bsky.social built a tool to search all the Epstein docs. Get in there and DM us with what you find. One tip is to try searching for “jeevacation@gmail.com” to narrow it down to just emails. couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

Trump-appointed judge handed case that could make Epstein Files public The lawsuit over Speaker Johnson’s refusal to swear in Adelita Grijalva has been assigned to a hardline conservative judge handpicked by the Federalist Society.

The lawsuit over Speaker Johnson’s refusal to swear in Adelita Grijalva has been assigned to a hardline conservative judge who was appointed by Trump during his first term.

Once seated, Grijalva would provide the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein Files.

Line to the courtroom extends around the block — probably about 150 people showed up, more than enough to fill the courtroom.

Organizers with #FreeDC pointed out that deployment has been extended to end of November, and the admin wants to push it til 2026, meaning everyone deployed would not get to spend the holidays with their families.

HAPPENING NOW: Protest outside the federal court in DC over the National Guard’s extended deployment to the city.

I’ll be reporting today’s hearing for @couriernewsroom.bsky.social.

Shutdown does little to slow Trump's taxpayer-funded shopping spree Private jets, gold-adorned ballrooms, and posters of the president's face are only a few of the $2 billion his administration has spent on vanity projects so far this year.

Some of the greatest hits include:

- $300 Million, WH ballroom
- $230 million, reimburse Trump’s legal fees
- $172 million, twin jets for Kristi Noem
- $1 billion, upgrade Trump’s personal jet
- $1.5 million (and counting), dip everything in gold
- $40 million (so far), Trump’s "legacy projects"

Trump admin forms propaganda coalition to create ‘war zone’ imagery In attendance were more than a dozen far-right media personalities, including several who have been appointed to run the country’s top law enforcement agencies.

President Donald Trump centered the roundtable around ramping up far-right media coverage of immigration raids, and promised the group, which he loosely categorized as journalists, that they had the full protection of the United States government — as long as they portray him in a positive light.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

A partial publication of Treasury docs has confirmed Trump’s fears and disproved his administration’s claim: within the just six pages are the names of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Bill Gates.

The shutdown halts the investigation and prevents the US Treasury from delivering any more records.

Trump admin stations troops in third US city ‘to enforce the will of the president’ Pre-positioning active military units allows for the immediate use of force in strategic locations should the president invoke the Insurrection Act.

"When the military has been used in countries where you have a dictatorship, the military is there to enforce the will of the dictator.

Shall I say that again? In America, the military is being used to enforce the will of the president.”

This is actually a different amendment than Schumer’s. It’s probably just as likely to get blocked, but the financial angle could entice a Republican senator or two.

Very interesting - thanks for the tag

It was, the investigation started in 2022. From the article:

“Investigators obtained access to a small number of suspicious transaction reports from the US Treasury under the Biden administration in 2024, but Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revoked access soon after Trump was inaugurated.”

I would love to look through that library
