I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

I think all these men who benefited financially from proximity to Epstein POST CONVICTION OF PEDOPHILIA should have to pay reparations to his victims, whether they abused women and children or not.

They all knew what was going on, and help legitimize him with their association.

Trump attacked a reporter in the Oval Office for not smiling while she asked about Jeffrey Epstein’s victims.

“I’ve never seen you smile.”
“You’re the worst reporter.”
“You’re not telling the truth.”

Not outrage over sexual abuse. Not concern for victims.
This is how power deflects 1/

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Walz demands DHS stop detaining Minnesota children In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Walz demanded details about how many Minnesota kids are in detention facilities.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all.

"Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact."

In light of Jean Chrétien's most recent denialist comments - story to come, basically he downplays the harm of the IRS system - I went down the rabbit hole researching how far Indigenous leaders lobbied him, as Minister of Indian Affairs in the 1960s and 1970s, to close the system 🧵

Project Netflix: MAGA’s Plan To Sandbag Warner Bros Deal; Streamer Called “Biggest Political & Ideology Messaging Machine In Human History” Ted Sarandos' testimony tomorrow in front of the Senate could see MAGA forces try to blow up the streamer's plan to buy Warner Bros

Worth keeping an eye on this story: Heritage Foundation-linked group is trying to frame Netflix as being some super liberal company that puts out super liberal content (it's not).

Same strategy they successfully used against traditional media and social media.

When people say that Doug Ford is "Trump-inspired", they should probably consider whether it's the other way around (or whether they are simply cut from the same cloth and neither of them needs any inspiration).

Met police launch investigation into alleged Mandelson-Epstein email leaks Epstein files appear to show then business secretary passing market sensitive information to child sex offender

So British police are investigating Epstein's links to both New Labour politico Peter Mandelson and the former Prince Andrew.
Meanwhile in the US, nada. No investigations, no consequences. The corruption continues.
