FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Starting off with the never ending Epstein scandal, Travis Gettys reports:

President Donald Trump has reportedly been frantically calling aides and allies seeking a “big thing” to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, and he's purportedly considering a major geopolitical move to turn the page politically.

Trump biographer Michael Wolff told The Daily Beast's new podcast "Inside Trump's Head" that the president has been making "relentless" phone calls demanding ideas to get him past questions about his longtime relationships with the late sex offender and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

“Let me go back about a week or so, or 10 days, when Trump started to say to everyone who would listen — and everyone listens to Donald Trump — to staffers and on the phone calls, the relentless phone calls that he’s constantly making, he said, ‘I need a big thing, I need a big thing,'" Wolff told the podcast. ”What’s the ‘big thing?’ And everyone understood that this was code for I need a distraction from Epstein. What’s the thing that will move us beyond that?”

He's such an idiot. He's such an idiot, in fact, that he could be Harry Enton on CNN. This isn't going away. The media rarely seems to get it and politicians never do. This is the sort of event that creates a genderquake but it's so much more than that. I'm not explaining while he's flailing -- not explaining here, I explained six weeks ago in piece for the gina & krista round-robin why this story was going to blaze like a fire. Chump doesn't get it and I'm not going to help him by explaining it to him. But it's not going away. He's a good con artist but he's rather stupid when it comes to people and human nature.

Yesterday the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee issued the following:

Judiciary Democrats Demand Answers Following Trump DOJ’s Sudden Transfer of Convicted Child Abuser and Epstein Accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell After Interview with Top DOJ Official

August 13, 2025

Press Release

Democrats Seek Release of Maxwell Interview Transcript and Related Materials and Note That Trump Administration May Have Violated DOJ, BOP Policies to Transfer Epstein’s Accomplice to Minimum-Security Prison Camp

Washington, D.C. (August 13, 2025)—Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, led Committee Democrats in sending a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Director William K. Marshall III pressing for answers regarding the unusual and abrupt transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell from a more restrictive BOP facility to a minimum security facility in Texas, amid concerns that the Trump Administration may be attempting to coax favorable testimony or strategic silence from Maxwell—Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice and co-conspirator—in order to cover up the full extent of the relationship between Trump and Epstein.

“These actions raise substantial concerns that the Administration may now be attempting to tamper with a crucial witness, conceal President Trump’s relationship with convicted sex offenders, and coax Ms. Maxwell into providing false or misleading testimony in order to protect the President. The transfer also appears to violate both DOJ and Bureau of Prisons (BOP) policies. We write to demand DOJ and BOP provide all documents and information related to Deputy Attorney General Blanche’s interview of Ms. Maxwell and the sudden decision to transfer her to a facility with lower security and greater freedom for inmates, which was, prior to this extraordinary transfer, categorically off-limits to sex offenders,” wrote the Members.

Reports on August 1 revealed that Maxwell, who had been serving a 20-year prison sentence in Florida for exploiting and sexually abusing underage girls, was transferred to an all-women prison camp in Texas, which is listed as one of the “Best Jails in America to Serve Time.”

The unexplained transfer of Maxwell to a lower-security and more comfortable facility came amid the Trump Administration’s refusal to release the Epstein files and less than a week after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, President Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer, met with Maxwell and her attorney behind closed doors with no line prosecutors present. DOJ’s decision to arrange multiple private meetings with Maxwell raises concerns of conflicts of interest, witness tampering, and suborning of false testimony.

The transfer also appears to violate BOP policy, which mandates that a person of convicted of sex trafficking, like Maxwell, universally warrant a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation as a “Sex Offender” and are ineligible to serve their sentence at a minimum-security facility like the one in Texas that allows “access to the community.”

Judiciary Democrats demanded the DOJ and BOP provide information, documents, and communications regarding Maxwell’s transfer and her interview with Deputy Attorney General Blanche.

“It is imperative that the Administration come clean regarding the full scope of Mr. Blanche’s interview of Ms. Maxwell and the sudden decision to transfer her to a minimum-security prison camp. The Committee must have access to all documents and information regarding these actions to assess whether DOJ officials and the President have abused prosecutorial and law enforcement resources to shield the President and mislead the public,” concluded the Members.

That release follows one earlier this week from Senator Ruben Gallego's office:

WASHINGTON – Senators Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) condemned the recent transfer of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell from FCI Tallahassee, a low security federal prison, to FPC Bryan, a minimum-security prison camp in Texas.

The transfer occurred shortly after Maxwell met privately with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche – Trump’s former personal lawyer – to discuss individuals associated with Jeffrey Epstein. The Senators note that the Department of Justice has yet to provide any clear explanation for the decision, raising serious concerns about whether Maxwell is receiving preferential treatment.

“Given the serious nature of Ms. Maxwell’s crimes, which include a conviction and 20-year sentence for the sex trafficking of minors, this transfer raises deeply troubling questions,” the Senators wrote in a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. “The lack of transparency surrounding the decision, particularly following her closed-door meeting with the Deputy Attorney General, undermines public confidence in the Department’s impartiality and raises concerns about whether she is receiving preferential treatment.”

The letter cites Bureau of Prisons policy requiring that anyone who, like Maxwell, had “sexual contact with a minor,” be housed in at least a low security-level institution without exception unless granted a waiver, which there has been no indication Maxwell obtained. The Senators also note that victims were not notified of her transfer, in apparent violation of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act.

“Moreover, at a time when the Department has pledged greater transparency regarding Epstein-related matters, this unexplained transfer sends the opposite message,” the Senators continued. “To date, there has been no clear explanation for why the transfer was made, suggesting the administration has simply been paying lip service to repeated calls for transparency.”

The Senators are calling on the Department to produce all documents and communications related to the transfer, any records of Maxwell’s communications with DOJ officials in the 30 days preceding the move, and documentation of victim notification efforts.

56% of Republicans think that Chump "knew some or a lot about the sex crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein," explained Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC last night. The number jumps to 71% when you bring in non-Republicans.

Lawrence O'Donnell: 71% of Americans think Donald Trump knew some or a lot about the sex crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein against children before the investigations into Epstein even began. We've had 45 presidents of the United States and only one -- only one of them was friends with a rapist of children who claimed to be that president's best friend for ten years.

In the video above, Lawrence discusses the issue with US House Rep Jamie Raskin and, of course, the sweetheart deal that administration has made with convicted pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell is only the freshest layer of Chump's crimes.

How did she get out of her crate?

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

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Amanda Clark (COLUMBUS LEDGER-ENQUIRER) reports:

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have claimed significant involvement in Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral campaign, while Mamdani’s campaign has denied involvement. Mamdani’s public stance emphasizes his independence and commitment to a broader working-class coalition. DSA organizer Daniel Goulden stated that they helped develop Mamdani’s platform and are closely integrated with his team.

Mamdani’s campaign spokesperson, Lekha Sunder, indirectly denied claims related to the DSA. Sunder said, “From the day he entered this race, Zohran has been running to win — and nothing demonstrates that quite like the latest polls, which have us less than nine points away from defeating Andrew Cuomo.” Mamdani’s campaign denies that its goal is to build the DSA. Analysts say the truth likely lies in a mix of Mamdani’s strategic use of DSA resources while maintaining an independent campaign.

DSA claims to have collaborated with Mamdani’s campaign in support of his plans to designate New York City as an “LGBTQIA+ Sanctuary City.” The proposal includes a $65 million allocation for free gender-affirming care, extending services to out-of-state individuals.

Huh?

Why is he drawing a line between his campaign and DSA? And is he trying to use "independent" instead of "Socialist." He's a Socialist who is DSA and gladly accepted DSA's endorsement.

Is he now to trying to run from it?

The only thing his campaign had going for it nationally was possibly showing that NYC could support a Socialist and using that to make the argument that the country could -- AOC for president. Otherwise this is just a mayor's race only getting (too much) coverage because it's set in the media base of NYC. If he's not even going to make it as a measure stick for a potential AOC race, what's the point of him running?

The country doesn't need another "independent." It's a shame so many Socialists in the US elect to live in . . . shame. Embarrassed, hiding in political closets. I'll never forget Bernie Sanders being elected to the US Senate and Laura Flanders, on AIR AMERICA RADIO, insisting that she didn't want to hear or read "Independent" Bernie elected to the Senate, she wanted to hear and read "Socialist" Bernie Sanders. Because that's what he was -- and what she is. And now, when a Socialist running, really could make a difference, there's this rush to draw a line between himself and the DSA while also use the term "independent"?

I tell this story a lot -- have for years. ______ was a big Democratic Party operative and she was on TV a lot. No one, not even FOX "NEWS," would put her on TV today. It was 1986. In fairness to her, she was speaking to a group behind me and not to the group I was in. But there she was yammering away in that airhead-with-a-degree manner about how this "ridiculous" person thought she was going to get to pose with this or that politician or celebrity. (The biggest politician present would have been Tom Hayden.) What was this self-important idiot yammering on about? The "ridiculous" person, turns out was a lesbian. And she had kept her from coming into the main room because, you know, lesbian. I grabbed the woman's arm, roughly, spun her around and asked her where she'd taken (seated) the woman to keep her out of the main room? I brought the woman into the main room.

Tom and the CED -- and certainly Jane Fonda who was the money behind the CED (later Campaign California) -- had no problem with lesbians (or gay men) but here was this self-important woman playing gatekeeper and then having the nerve to brag about how she'd kept a lesbian out of the main room.

That woman belonged in the room as much as anyone else did. And we sat her with my group. I think Jane heard about it and came over and made a point to welcome the woman (but that might have just been Jane coming over to greet everyone). I know Tom heard about it because I griped about it to him and he did make sure the woman was welcomed and I believe she went on to become a valued part of the CED.

The Democratic Party was big enough -- tent wise -- for LGBTQ+ people in the 80s. It is certainly big tent enough for Socialists -- even DSAers (I'm more inclined to the SEP).

I don't understand those gatekeepers who try to sideline others. I am not the DSA cheerleader. But I do believe we can big tent and I do believe that if people are serious about wanting to see AOC make a real run for the party's presidential nomination, we don't treat Socialism as a dirty word or something to run from.

I like Ned Lamont. He's not a Socialist, he's a Democrat (as am I). But Ned could have been in the US Senate but a great primary campaign became a weak general election campaign as he backed away from various earlier stances. I hope that's not what's happening to Zohran Mamdani's campaign.

It's a little late in the game to start pretending Zohran is not a Socialist. He is one and he's got to come off authentic in order to win. If they water him down, the way Ned got watered down in the general, he'll lose the same way Ned did. (Would that make Cuomo the new Joe Lieberman?)

Chief Roberts just cares about Chief Roberts

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

CONTEMPTUOUS CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS PAUSED FROM SPITTING ON THE CONSTITUTION AND ENSHRINING DONALD CHUMP AS A KING TODAY LONG ENOUGH TO DECLARE THAT JUDGES ARE AT RISK OF "THREATS OF VIOLENCE AND MURDER" AS A RESULT OF STATEMENTS BY PSYCHOTIC LAWMAKERS -- THE SAME ONES THAT ROBERTS KEEPS BACKING IN ONE DECISION AFTER ANOTHER.

REMINDED THAT THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY IS AT DIRECT RISK OF VIOLENCE AS A RESULT OF SEVERAL SUPREME COURT DECISIONS, JUSTICE ROBERTS INSISTED, "NO, NO, NO. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ME. I MATTER. THEY DON'T."

WHEN THESE REPORTERS PUSHED BACK ON THIS CLAIM, ROBERTS CALLED IN ICE -- SEE ISAIAH'S PHOTO OF OFFICER DUMB F**K BELOW.

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

At AXIOS, Russell Contreras explains:

The images of masked, heavily armed immigration agents snatching people off the streets and taking them away in unmarked cars have shocked many Americans — and led to a simple question: Is all of this legal?

It is — at least for now.

Why it matters: Since Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was created after the 9/11 attacks, its agents have operated with vastly more enforcement power, less transparency and fewer guardrails than local police.

ICE's rules were designed largely to give the agency broad leeway in helping the FBI identify and arrest domestic terror suspects.
Now the Trump administration is using that power to go after unauthorized immigrants — potentially millions of them — with a frequency and aggressiveness that has sent ripples through communities nationwide.

Zoom in: Under Trump, critics say, ICE has become the closest thing the U.S. has to a secret police force.

ICE agents aren't required to wear body cameras, can cover their faces, don't have to provide badge numbers or identify themselves, can arrive in unmarked cars and don't need a warrant from a judge to detain someone.
Like those with other federal enforcement agencies, they can ignore rules that govern local police departments, particularly those local agencies with histories of abuse or that operate under court-imposed restrictions on racial profiling.
In some cases, ICE agents can even arrest U.S. citizens — but they aren't supposed to place them in immigration detention units. Even so, a few U.S. citizens have been detained in recent ICE raids because of agents' mistakes or negligence.

A few? One is too many but "a few"? Alisha Ebrahimji (CNN) reports on some of the US citizens being rounded up but, repeating, none should be. Of course its happening, we said it would back in August because you can't carry out these sort of attacks without rounding up US citizens. It's outrageous and it needs to end immediately.

Instead of grasping that, many people are trying to excuse a Gestapo police force. And that's what it is.

Daniele Di Bartolomei (VNY) reports:

The Trump administration wants to increase fines for those living in the country illegally. Under current rules, the government can begin issuing penalties 30 days after informing someone of their presence in the U.S. without authorization, a rule introduced by President Donald Trump during his first term.

The rule had been abolished by Joe Biden, only to be reintroduced by the Republican president in his second term. However, a new federal report reveals that the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice plan to completely abolish the 30-day waiting limit and immediately issue fines to those who overstay their visas.

The new penalties start at $100 to $500 for those who enter the states illegally, and can go up to $1,000 a day for those who fail to comply with deportation orders. “DHS believes that the nature of the failure-to-depart and unlawful entry penalties supports the need for more streamlined procedures,” the report reads.

“The law doesn’t enforce itself; there must be consequences for breaking it,” Assistant Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin added, “President Trump and Secretary [Kristi] Noem are standing up for law and order and making our government more effective and efficient at enforcing the American people’s immigration laws. Financial penalties like these are just one more reason why illegal aliens should use CBP Home to self-deport now before it’s too late.”

In June, DHS issued about 10,000 fines, totaling $3 billion. According to the agency’s report, those who self-deport using the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) mobile app will be exempt from paying fines.

According to the latest rumors, the Trump administration is also considering confiscating the property of immigrants who do not pay the fines.

It's all so outrageous and offensive. Some have spoken out and their voices grow louder as other voices join with them.

We see the pushback -- the attacks -- and even that does not silence the growing opposition.

Brad Lanford, NYC City comptroller, was attacked by ICE. He discussed it with MSNBC over the weekend.

Brad stated, "The ICE agent who arrested me confess to me afterwards that his wife hopes he quits his job. She texted him saying, "I don't want you in this anymore."

There is no justification for this. That's why I've repeatedly stated that these ICE agents have a very limited future: Drug addiction or suicide. You can't live with being a Nazi.

And Americans are not going to be silent or inactive as this secret police carries out illegal actions. Rosalina Luna Vargas was targeted on Saturday in Pasadena. PASADENA NOW reports what happened:

Three plainclothes agents -- all wearing federal badges on lanyards and two wearing masks -- attempted to place Vargas into an unmarked vehicle while her [two] children were present, according to [witness Jillian] Reed and a Reddit witness account.

Reed told KTLA: “[The children] kept asking for a warrant. They told the officers they would stop resisting if they just showed them a warrant. One of the men said he had one but didn’t show it.”

The situation escalated when Vargas broke free and ran into Del Mar Park, an assisted living facility at 990 East Del Mar Boulevard, according to witnesses.

Her children formed what Reed described to KTLA as “a human wall” to protect their mother.

Facility staff reportedly told the agents they were on private property and needed to leave without a warrant, according to witnesses. The agents complied, photographed witnesses, and departed in two separate vehicles before returning later and detaining Vargas.

US House Rep Judy Chu is quoted stating, "ICE agents are pointing guns at innocent individuals, no warrants, no explanations, just fear and intimidation. These raids in my district are absolutely vile. Masked and armed like a militia, they're terrorizing families and destroying any sense of safety in our communities. This is not law enforcement it’s a gross abuse of power, and I will not stand for it."

Meghrig Milkon (QUEEN'S JOURNAL) observes:

The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) isn’t protecting anyone—it’s terrorizing communities, and it’s time it gets abolished.

Since the start of his presidency-- and even during his campaign -- Donald Trump promised mass deportations, targeting more than 10 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. His administration has followed through with 11,000 people deported in February, over 12,000 in the first four weeks of March, and approximately 17,200 in April, according to NBC News.

According to its website, ICE was established in 2003 through the merger of the investigative and interior enforcement functions of the former U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. ICE currently operates in 400 offices across the United States and internationally, with an annual budget of approximately eight billion dollars. Nearly 60,000 migrants are currently being held in ICE detention centers, with 11.4 per cent fast-tracked for deportation, according to NBC’s live tracker.

What the live media coverage makes evident is that the administration continues to view immigrants and migrants as statistics rather than people: a true testament to the tragedy that is the United States. Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff, stated that ICE officers would aim to carry out at least 3,000 arrests per day, an increase from the approximately 650 daily arrests during the first five months of Trump’s second term. ICE operations have triggered protests across the U.S., often resulting in arrests and the imposition of curfews.

All around the country, people are witnessing these outrageous acts and they're using their voices to object. In a letter calling out Chump's immigration lies, Darryl Cornelius informs the editorial board of THE LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL, "Our nation has reached a point where there is nothing too false, ridiculous or stupid that one-third of the country will not swallow. A substantial portion of our country has become scornful of compromise and unmoved by facts, evidence and science. We are rapidly losing the truth. We must not let it die."

So we have to use our voices -- especially when the Supreme Court refuses to stand up for the rule of law. Robert Kuttner (THE AMERICAN PROSPECT) writes:

The Supreme Court issued a shocking ruling today, making it easier for President Donald Trump to overturn birthright citizenship. The way the Court did it was in keeping with its disingenuous strategy of using technicalities that allow it to duck the underlying question.

The substance of Friday’s 6-3 decision, written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, involved a challenge to Trump’s executive order denying citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. His order violated the 14th Amendment, which clearly holds that anyone born in the U.S. is a citizen, regardless of the circumstances.

Immigrant rights groups and 22 states sued, and three different federal district court judges issued universal injunctions barring the administration from enforcing the Trump policy anywhere in the country. The Department of Justice asked the Supreme Court to overturn the injunctions.

Today's ruling ducks the underlying constutional question about the meaning and reach of birthright citizenship, but bars the injuctions from taking effect nationwide and explicitly allows Trump's order to take effect in 30 days. This will only give more cover to ICE raids and deportations. Along the way, the high court overturned the ability of lower courts ever to issue injunctions with national reach.

As Chump, Kristi Noem, Tom Holman, the Supreme Court and others attack immigrants (and those perceive to be immigrants), real journalists note what happens. That includes Sofia Mejias-Pascoe. Ken Stone (TIMES OF SAN DIEGO) reports:

Sofía Mejías-Pascoe of inewsource, San Diego’s newest and youngest Journalist of the Year, says immigrants and asylum-seekers she once followed closely are no longer reachable.

Ever since Donald Trump took office, she said Thursday night, “I’ve stopped hearing from many of them. The numbers I used to reach them at are no longer in service.”

Texts messages aren’t going through, she said, and “the people I do talk to are really afraid.”
