🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 .@Will_Bunch: the various tentacles of a Trumpian police state — from ICE to the Justice Department — have adopted what is close to a “zero tolerance” policy for anyone they think is standing in the way of mass deportation. inquirer.com/opinion/ice-pr… via @phillyinquirer
Read this op-ed on school closures from @Haver_Lisa of @APPSphilly. Thanks to @HallMonitorWPPM for being the outlet #PhlEd needs as the @PhillyInquirer shuts out all op-eds written by actual #PhlEd educators. hallmonitor.org/philadelphians…
Trump is a genius but you can't see his grades Trump is healthy but you can't see his medical reports Trump is honest but you can't see his tax returns Trump is innocent but you can't see the Epstein Files
CBS has done bad stuff going way back to the Smothers Brothers Still, Colbert's ouster feels different. This isn't just capitalism but fascism, and there's no Murrow or Cronkite to cut through the billionaire BS My new column inquirer.com/columnists/att…

Something Is Still Rotten in the City of Philadelphia. From @GrimKim thenation.com/article/societ…
Time to focus on William Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. He's a Trump loyalist who was behind the "mortgage fraud" claims about Letitia James, too. Now this same agency has "found" alleged misconduct by Sen Adam Schiff.
Trump just said Schiff merits "prison" for the "fraud" an IG supposedly found. Again, I talked to experts/former IG who described the process used here as deeply troubling. This is his model for manipulating bureaucracy to hatch pretexts to target foes: newrepublic.com/article/198074…
Is everyone going to shrug at Trump explicitly saying a sitting US Senator should go to prison based on claims brought into existence by what appears to be a highly dubious process? Seems like media orgs should be trying to answer the Qs that this raises about Trump/WH's role.

"Let’s not forget what this is about. Epstein did literally the sickest things a human being can do. Even if Trump didn’t do them, if he was that close to Epstein for that long, there’s roughly zero chance he didn’t know something." Good @mtomasky on WSJ: newrepublic.com/post/198113/tr…
