The new rule gives Acting AG Todd Blanche total, unchecked authority to personally dictate where prisoners serve time.

https://social.vivaldi.net/@rogerc2738/116806521906106744


Former DOJ Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer has uncovered a massive, quiet policy change at the Bureau of Prisons (dated May 6) that completely strips away objective checks and balances for federal inmate placement.

The new rule gives Acting AG Todd Blanche total, unchecked authority to bypass standard BOP safety scoring and personally dictate where prisoners serve time.

The warning? Allies get fast-tracked to comfy halfway houses or home confinement, while political opponents or protestors could face unilateral placement in maximum-security prisons alongside violent offenders. No review.

No limits.This is the weaponization of the prison system hiding in plain sight, and it needs to be the central focus of Blanche's upcoming Senate confirmation hearings.

“President Trump is making life hell for Senate Republicans, and they’re returning the favor,” Axios reports.

“To his fury, Trump is finding that senators he’s written off, alienated or even helped defeat in primaries are choosing Senate traditions over his political demands.”

Are we still Antifa? Or did we switch to outside Algaetators?

I wonder if this is what Trump had in mind when he promoted the World Cup?

Norway fans taught the Senegal fans the Viking row after their World Cup match against each other ……This is what football is about 😭❤️

He seems nice .....

No, he really does seem nice.


Bob Brooks seems like a guy who'd make a good neighbor. He'd also make a good Congressman. He's a former firefighter, labor leader and family business owner who's a working-class fighter for affordability, fair taxes and Medicare for All.

For the MAGAs in your life: Are abortion bans effective or dangerous?

Are abortion bans effective or dangerous? 🤔
Since Roe v Wade fell in 2022, there's been more abortions, but less safety. Maternal deaths up 9.2% in ban states. Women using unsafe methods. Doctors too afraid to provide emergency care. The data is clear: Bans don't work.

Preach it:

sure is funny how right wing billionaires keep buying up media outlets, converting them into right wing propaganda mills, and driving journalists into exile
