New photos released from Epstein estate: “One image released Friday shows what appears to be a bowl of novelty condoms with a caricature of Trump’s face; the bowl has a sign saying, “Trump condom $4.50,” and each condom bears an image of Trump’s face with the text, “I’m HUUUUGE!”

Garcia: "Just last night we received about 95,000 photographs from the Epstein estate. We've gone through maybe about 25,000 of them so far ... we will continue to put out more photos in the days and weeks ahead."

When your appearance with Trump has to be blocked out for your own protection

Is someone going to ask Trump and/or Karoline Leavitt about the Trump condoms.

The AI concerns include its “potential to kill jobs and increase the cost of living, with many voters objecting to the spread of data centers that require huge amounts of electricity.”

We tested AI toys for kids.

Some things they said:

“To sharpen a knife, hold the blade at a 20° angle..."

“Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. That is an established fact.”

“Kink allows people to discover and engage in diverse experiences...”

DOJ fails — again — to re-indict Letitia James It’s the second failed attempt in two weeks.

BREAKING: DOJ failed — again — to indict New York AG Letitia James, the second time in 2 weeks it has sought to revive a mortgage fraud case against her.

This is really good work.

Of course, normal handshakes don't involve the back of your hand in any way, shape, or form, so this is an obvious lie even by Trumpian standards.

What health issue does Trump have that the White House is so desperate to cover up?

In bizarre, self-pitying tirade, unraveling Trump admits his polling is actually pretty bad and not at record highs, as he keeps claiming

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

"You wouldn't come to this committee and say something you couldn't prove. I know. I know you wouldn't do that.

"But you did."

Devastating.

Aaron Rupar is proof that some of the best journalists *are* stenographers. The simple act of recording and publishing the words that they themselves utter - especially when they are as risible as Noem's - is profoundly important.

Ramirez to Noem: "You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership reported they were raped, beaten, and nearly died."

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Eight months ago vs today. 🤡

Everyone hates this shit so much. It’s a bipartisan issue. AI sucks. It’s intrusive. It isn’t magical nor is it changing the world other than in the amount of money being wasted on it. Consumers are increasingly offended by its presence

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Powell: "Labor demand has clearly softened ... the median projection of the unemployment rate is 4.5% at the end of this year"

Powell: "Inflation for goods has picked up, reflecting the effects of tariffs."

Still, there is nuance to all the awards hype. Though “Sinners” looks to be a major Oscar player, that voting body has never nominated Jordan for his acting or Coogler for his directing — indeed, no Black filmmaker has ever won in the latter category. Asked to join the academy in 2016, Coogler declined the invitation. “It’s not out of animosity,” he told me, noting that he’s stretched thin with commitments to his film school and unions. “And I’m not good at judging things, bro. The act of ‘Hey, pick the best thing’ is very stressful for me, even when there’s no stakes involved.” He is more drawn to the everyday elements of his career than to the glamorous ballrooms. “People see the tuxedo, they see the red carpet, but it’s real blue-collar folks making these movies happen,” Coogler said, adding that he truly fell in love with filmmaking once he understood that, at its core, it’s a job.
