SPANK. ⚖️🔥

Fed Judge Goodwin just unloaded on the administration over repeated unlawful ICE detentions:

“The Constitution does not contemplate violations in installments.”

And this warning‼️ “This court will not permit constitutional violations to proceed piecemeal….”

If it continues? Injunctions. Contempt. Monetary sanctions. “Any relief necessary.”

“The Constitution requires immediate compliance… not continuation of violations pending appeal.”

That’s a federal judge saying: Obey. Now.

“Donald Trump’s name is all over these files… 17-yo girls, 16-yo girls, 14-yo girls, 11-yo girls, 10-yo girls… I saw a reference today to a 9-yo girl. It’s a really gruesome and grim story… in order to make progress on criminal investigation and prosecution, we need to listen to the survivors.” — Rep. Jamie Raskin on the unredacted Epstein files

SURGICAL SCAM: A law firm allegedly pushed women to remove surgical mesh — not for their health, but because their cases would be worth 10–15x more.

Promised “free” surgeries.
Instead got:

• Massive surgical bills
• High-interest loans
• Hidden legal fees
• Worse outcomes

Their cases? Bundled and sold like subprime mortgages.

Then a rookie Arkansas lawyer stepped in. Five years later: $2.5M awarded to one woman.

Not “Is this evil?”
Not “Who am I hurting?”

• Safe house

• Have a "fall guy"
• Don’t trust interrogators
• Disguises & a plastic surgeon!!
