The real crime wave seems to be suburban restaurant chain owners ripping off their employees. Maybe we should look into that.

Robert Redford meeting with Butch Cassidy's sister - Lula Parker Betenson - during filming of

Anyone offering odds that the Vance meeting decides that the only way out of the Epstein turmoil is to release the files and 25th the Orange Pervert?

Nothing that would have caused Ghislaine Maxwell to be concerned?
That’s not reassuring. Her own behavior didn’t cause her concern. Jeffrey Epstein‘s behavior didn’t cause her concern. She’s hardly affair barometer.

"The court’s steady effort to make the law an artifact of the past is of a piece with its broad expansion of executive power for the current president. Both work to undermine the basis for this more politically equal era of American democracy and clear the path to an American autocracy."

How Many Times Can Science Funding Be Canceled? Whether or not Congress cuts NIH’s budget, the Trump administration has devastated its ability to operate.

*GAO called impoundment of NIH funding illegal
*Senate rejected President vision of NIH
So, clear signals from the legislative branch of what they want, but Vought is still trying to block spending so he can kill it with pocket rescission

YouTube video by The Bulwark Trump Voters Thought It Wouldn’t Matter. They Were Wrong.

Will Saletan documents how Trump’s favorite lie (“The 2020 election was rigged and stolen”) became GOP orthodoxy. And now, even the press has given up challenging it.

Counter -intuitive. If you’re smuggling anything, wouldn’t you want looser garments? Or is this rhyming slang?

"Grift"????
Sad to see you get this petty and vindictive toward natural allies. You just dropped yourself down a few pegs in my estimation.

Due process, compassion, truth? Lots of possibilities.

A 15-year-old boy with no criminal history ended up at Alligator Alcatraz ‘This is one of many problems with illegal immigration: individuals are in our country without any way to verify their identity,’ a spokesperson for the agency that oversees the facility said

15 Year Old Kid Jailed and Tortured by Trump, Miller, Noem in Alligator Auschwitz for no reason.
They claim the boy "misrepresented his age". Always Not their fault 🥸 for jailing a minor in their death camp.
And he suffered the same hardship as adults.

Not quite. The lower age limit is still 18. Technically, you're correct. Teenagers can join. They can also join the military. Noem removed the UPPER age limit. So now Trump, Chuck Grassley, Bernie Sanders, Mitch McConnell, and Bob Dylan are all eligible to join ICE, don hoods, and kidnap people.

RFK Jr. is not anti-vax. He's just asking questions
Questions like:
How can I increase the spread of measles?
How can I make us defenseless against future pandemics
How can I block promising cancer treatments?
How can I lower life expectancy in the United States?

Thank you for your inattention to this matter!

Top Trump officials will meet at JD Vance's home tonight to to discuss their strategy and handling of the Trump-Epstein scandal.

Andrew Cuomo couldn’t allow his first, tepid recognition of reality — that the Israeli government, with the full support of the Trump administration, is starving the people of Gaza — last more than a few hours without walking it back.

This is someone who believes in nothing.

Has The @nytimes.com ever done this before—run a news analysis piece as the front-page lede story? It’s equivalent to sending Bibi a strongly-worded letter.

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

With IRS commissioner Billy Long saying the Direct File program is "gone," revisit our 2019 story about how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

Hamed AleazizNicholas Nehamas By Hamed Aleaziz and Nicholas Nehamas Aug. 5, 2025, 4:51 p.m. ET On Tuesday morning, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced in an internal email that it would offer cash bonuses to agents for deporting people quickly, an incentive meant to motivate the staff to speed up President Trump’s mass deportation campaign. Less than four hours later, the agency abruptly canceled what was supposed to be a 30-day pilot program. “PLEASE DISREGARD,” Liana J. Castano, an official in ICE’s field operations division, said in a follow-up email to agency offices around the country.

🚨WHOA. According to @haleaziz.bsky.social, the Trump admin was actually going to implement the ICE "bounties" it has repeatedly said were false, offering $200 per arrest leading to a rapid deportation — and only walked the plan back after the New York Times got a copy of the memo.
