Months after a fund tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump put about $30 million into a nearly bankrupt spa company, the Trump administration awarded that company nearly $40 million in federal contracts to screen for Ebola.
The company made most of its money from airport spas and waxing salons.
It had never worked with Ebola.
It had never worked overseas.
Yet part of the money is for work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Ebola has killed more than 5,000 people this year. The company's CEO said, "I'm not sure we can do it."
This keeps happening. The same Trump-linked fund invested in a drone company, and five months later that company got an Air Force contract worth up to $90 million. A startup linked to Trump Jr. got a $620 million Pentagon loan after a top White House aide stepped in.
Their fund buys in, and federal money follows. Taxpayers foot the bill, and with Ebola, our safety is on the line too.
This is all totally corrupt.
Americans deserve answers under oath, and our conflict of interest and procurement laws must be enforced.

For anyone who hasn't heard about this yet: ICE showed up at the front door of Dr. Ann Lawani in Lodi, California, while she was still in her pajamas, shackled her at the wrists, waist, and ankles, and shipped her all the way to a detention center in Louisiana.
She’s a frontline nurse who worked through the worst of COVID, directs the master's nursing program at the University of San Francisco (overseeing 230+ nursing students), and takes care of her 83-year-old dad.
When her family and lawyer tried to find out where she was taken, ICE’s online locator came back with "0 results." It turns out ICE quietly changed its policy the day before her arrest to stop listing thousands of detainees in the public database, so her family had no idea where she was for days while she was bounced from Stockton to Bakersfield to El Paso to Louisiana.
DHS put out a statement claiming she had a 2013 removal order, but they conveniently left out that on the *exact same day* in 2013, an immigration judge granted her Withholding of Removal blocking her deportation to Nigeria because she faced persecution there.
She has zero criminal record, has checked in with ICE for 13 years, and has a valid federal work permit through 2029. Because they legally can't send her to Nigeria, Rep. Josh Harder says ICE has been trying to quietly deport her to an undisclosed third country behind her lawyer's back.

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care, even though my skin burned from the chemicals.

AWFUL. A family pleaded with ICE to deport their ill father so he could get out of detention. They even offered to pay for plane tickets. But ICE kept him jailed for two months after he accepted removal, his health deteriorating daily. He died hours after he was finally deported.
Ayaz Ahmed, 61, had no criminal record and had several diagnosed chronic health conditions when his children say he was detained, deported, and died mysteriously over the summer. abc7chicago.com/post/donald-…

NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers.
30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.

Listen to this small business owner describe his love for his immigrant employees and why it led him to vote Democratic. It’s not about money. He admits that he competes with immigrants too. It’s about respect for them as people

An 8-year-old boy—living with his uncle after his father was deported—showed up for a scheduled immigration appointment because his family wanted to follow the law. ICE took him into federal custody and separated him from his family. This is the cruelty of mass deportation and the Trump administration’s immigration policy. It violates our values and who we are as a nation. America deserves better.

Here's a compilation of clips from dozens of videos I've shared over the last year and a half since Stephen Miller ordered ICE to racially profile people on the streets. I intentionally included the "benign" incidents b/c every one degrades our citizenship. Congress, end it!

Listening to U.S. citizens with spouses with no pathway to legal status talk about the horrors that ICE has forced their families have lived through. Deported wives, husbands, and dads, some who faced medical emergencies in detention. Families now living separated. Shameful.

Although people all over the world are happy to see Trump and MAGA becoming unpopular in the USA, the reason behind it is far less encouraging.
Trump could support Putin and Russia all he wanted. He could continue to let Ukrainians get slaughtered, treat Canada like shit, threaten Denmark with war, steal from Venezuela to line his own pockets, support Israel's brutality, and insult allies day after day. The American public doesn't support these things, but they don't seem to care very much about them either.
The only reason people are now turning against Trump is because — of all unimportant things — gas has become a little bit more expensive in in a country wealthier than any other in world history. THAT is what infuriates the average voter and makes them turn against Trump
The rest of the world is lucky that this is happening, as it weakens Trump. But that doesn't mean we should assume that the USA will act morally on the world stage in the future. Deep down, they simply don't care very much.

ICE detained a developmentally disabled student on his way to school. He is a US citizen.
They realized he wasn't who they were looking for after they had broken his wrist. They dropped him off a mile from school. He walked to school in tears. When he arrived, the school called an ambulance.
Will ICE ever be held accountable?

In 1991, Patrick Stewart surprised STAR TREK creator Gene Roddenberry with a song and dance routine on the USS Enterprise-D bridge. The footage was never meant for public viewing, but eventually surfaced as a Season 5 DVD bonus feature.

Probably my favourite version. It's much less bombastic than Olivier's or Branagh's.
