Deja Foxx ran as a possible new Democratic phenom but when her primary challenge to the Grijalva legacy fell flat, so did she. The swagger disappeared. The pouting began.

The Trump administration has declared that immigrants who arrived in the United States illegally are no longer eligible for a bond hearing as they fight deportation proceedings in court, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.

In a July 8 memo, Todd M. Lyons, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told officers that such immigrants should be detained “for the duration of their removal proceedings,” which can take months or years. Lawyers say the policy will apply to millions of immigrants who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border over the past few decades, including under the Biden administration.

In the past, immigrants residing in the U.S. interior generally have been allowed to request a bond hearing before an immigration judge. But Lyons wrote that the Trump administration’s departments of Homeland Security and Justice had “revisited its legal position on detention and release authorities” and determined that such immigrants “may not be released from ICE custody.” In rare exceptions immigrants may be released on parole, but that decision will be up to an immigration officer, not a judge, he wrote.

The provision is based on a section of immigration law that says unauthorized immigrants “shall be detained” after their arrest, but that has historically applied to those who recently crossed the border and not longtime residents.

Is this the location where he allegedly beat his mistress? Allegedly you betcha!

Is there anything more Trump-era Republican than fake-rich living beyond one’s means? And cheating on your wife, allegedly beating your mistress and lying about your finances and qualifications? Meet Florida Rep. Cory Mills, who is one messy pile of curb furniture! He’s getting evicted from the soon-to-be-divorced-dad pad he was sharing with his sidepiece because he owes his landlord more than $85,000 in unpaid rent, on a penthouse that’s nearly $21,000 a month! 

(If you live outside DC or New York or another large city, please understand that $21K per month is very expensive anywhere.)

How befitting for an arms-maker with shady finances. (You know, in case you were curious how he got approved for $21K per month on his $174,000 congressional salary.) If you’re wondering what the soon-to-be-available place looks like, TPM’s Josh Marshall found a link to a similar, slightly smaller penthouse in the complex. Oligarch chic!

The eviction scoop and receipts were picked up by former Daily Beast reporter Roger Sollenberger and dropped on X, and Mills quickly X’d back the sorriest of excuses for not playing his bills:

Sure, guy, the multibillion-dollar management company Bozzuto left its website unable to collect rent from tenants for months on end and refused to accept payment in any other way. You know landlords, how they’re always so lackadaisical about collecting their money! (Especially when the rent is $21K.)

Always projection! Sollenberger added for good measure: 

FWIW, this isn't a surprise — Cory Mills has had foreclosure and lien troubles for more than a decade. What is a surprise is how a guy with his financial history is affording a penthouse in one of the most expensive rental properties in Washington, DC. (And a rented beach house.)

Sounds like he is NOT, that IS very mysterious, and ZING.

Sollenberger threw on the pile: 

New Cory Mills campaign filing shows $35,000 in legal payments from April through June, with another $41,000 in unpaid legal service fees, including $10,000 in "disputed" charges.

GET IT TOGETHER, CORY.

Mills also has even more swirling drama of the homewrecking and financial kind. 

His 17-years-younger girlfriend, Sarah Raviani, called 911 in February, claiming Mills had assaulted her, and that he was her partner of more than a year. Police saw fresh bruises on her, and heard Mills telling her on the phone to lie to them about the cause of her injuries. But then-acting US Attorney for DC Ed Martin wouldn’t sign his arrest warrant, Raviani retracted her statement, and the problem went away for him. Now Mills is getting evicted for nonpayment on that same place where it happened. Karmic!

Raviani is also co-founder of the group Iranians for Trump, where she “spearheaded efforts to mobilize Iranian-American voters.” Wonder if any in that group have some regrets now? Maybe one or two?

Oh, and Mills has a wife. She is an Iraqi refugee, and they have two sons. Holy near-east conflict!

Mills and wife were married by an Islamic cleric in Virginia in 2014, one Mohammad Al-Hanooti, who the Daily Mail insists is a Hamas supporter who had connections to some of the guys who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993, and who said in 1998 that “Allah will rain his curse on the Americans and the British.” (Maybe Mills is that curse?) Mills excused using such a controversial imam to marry them because, he said, they were in a big hurry for his soon-to-be wife to get a new green card so she could travel, and he was the only one they could find. Mkay!

And of course one of Mills’s favorite things to holler has been that Nancy Pelosi, Anthony Fauci and Joe Biden are like Al-Qaeda. Weird coming from this particular guy, but OK!

After the police report came out, Mills claimed he and the wife were in the process of divorce. I’ll bet! 

Don’t you just love how these are the people lecturing everybody else on FAMILY VALUES? Hope this eviction maybe helps Raviani move on with her life.

AND there’s more shadiness around Mills, because of course. Two ethics investigations: When he got elected in 2022 he owned a grenade and tear-gas-manufacturing concern, and the board of the Office of Congressional Conduct had some questions about what countries his clients were in, which Mills refused to answer. Also somehow a $1.8 million loan from Mills appeared in his campaign coffers, and nobody knows where he got that money. The Board concluded that “there is substantial reason to believe that Rep. Mills may have omitted or misrepresented required information in his financial disclosure statements,” and investigations allegedly continue.

A real peach, this one. He also likes to brag that his company’s tear gas was used on Black Lives Matter protesters, and their riot bullets on protesters in Hong Kong. He announced his arrival in the House in 2022 by gifting everyone an artisanal grenade.

What a whiplash of a timeline!

On February 27 Bondi whipped out binders that she claimed were “declassified” Epstein documents, then turned out to all be documents that were in the public record already. A day later she claimed there were thousands of pages more, but Kash Patel had them. And then in March, she told Fox News that Epstein’s client list was sitting on her desk that very minute.

And THEN on July 7, the DOJ released a memo saying there was no client list after all, and Epstein killed himself. Bondi’s office released some video footage, which Trump’s previous DOJ had claimed did not exist, that she claimed was raw footage, but Wired said was not, did not show Epstein’s cell, and had a minute missing.

And THHHEEENN Trump took to his royal platform this weekend and made things worse for himself, as is his way.

[snip] . . . In conclusion, now the files do exist and the Black guy and the woman created AND planted them all, during Trump’s own administration, with their witchy Deep State magic.

This was all enough to make Alex Jones cry, and send Dan Bongino, human butt plug and Kash Patel’s deputy at the FBI, reportedly into full meltdown, and as of now he has not been at work or heard from since last Wednesday. Not even Trump is sure if he is still working in his DOJ anymore, though he told reporters on Sunday, “I think so.”

. . . But let us cut the crap here: during the Biden years, courts unsealed thousands of pages of Epstein documents. Trump was president and Bill Barr, the son of the guy who gave Epstein his first teaching job, was AG when Epstein was prosecuted and died in jail. It’s long been public knowledge that Trump and Epstein were friends — Epstein himself said BEST friends — and neighbors in Palm Beach and New York for more than a decade. Trump openly admired buddy-Jeff’s love of ladies “on the younger side,” and the two hit the clubs together, ogled underage beauty contestants together and even shared more than one girlfriend. And, according to court documents filed and then withdrawn, one alleged 13-year-old rape victim.

Trump and Epstein traveled together on his plane, and so did Eric, Marla, and then-baby Tiffany. Being a gross, pimp-vibe pageant-owning pussgrab creeper was a key part of Trump’s persona, and he went on Howard Stern regularly to hornily drool, even over his own daughter.

This was well-known long before the first election.

But Bondi has been busy with other stuff. She fired 20 prosecutors and staff at the DOJ who worked with Jack Smith to prosecute Trump. And she fired her ethics chief Joseph Tirrell with a one-page letter; his response on LinkedIn darkly hinted at the backstory:

A new study finds there are 27 million metric tons of invisible plastic particles in the North Atlantic alone.

In the oceans, the most widespread type of plastic pollution may be the kind you can’t see.

A new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature estimates that the North Atlantic Ocean alone contains 27 million metric tons of nanoplastic — plastic particles 100 times smaller than the width of a human hair. That figure is 10 times higher than previous estimates of plastic pollution of all sizes across all the world’s oceans, according to the study’s authors.

Microplastics range in width between 0.001 millimeters and 5 millimeters, making them up to 5 million times bigger than nanoplastics.
