Paris prosecutors open two new Epstein probes and call on victims to come forward One investigation will focus on sex abuse crimes and the other on financial wrongdoing following the release of millions of files by the US Justice Department.

One investigation will focus on sex abuse crimes, the other on financial wrongdoing, each involving specialized magistrates, she added. The move comes after the release by the US Justice Department of more than three million pages of documents...

Project 2026 Declares Open War on Women’s Rights.
Project 2026 is not destiny. It is a warning—and one we must answer with the full force of a movement that has never accepted a future written for us by someone else.

Texans: After nearly three decades in charge, “we can fix it” sounds like a confession.

Trump Voters Love ICE, Until It's in Their Backyard — Jezebel It's funny how public opinion on ICE changes the moment that DHS plans to put 10,000 detainees in your own neighborhood.

Small Georgia city learns DHS plans a sprawling warehouse immigrant detention center. Now Trump voters are unhappy & tired of hearing “I told you so. You voted for this."
Yes, it is precisely what they voted for, thinking the suffering wouldn’t come anywhere near THEM.

Everyone, practice your "shocked" face.

Pamela Jo Bondi *lied* to Congress when she testified that "there is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime."

Once people like Wilson outlaw nonChristian religions, they'll go after those practicing the "wrong" Christianity - starting with Roman Catholics.

I just want to point out that’s Doug Wilson speaking at the Pentagon. Doug Wilson wants: the 19th amendment repealed, non-Christian religions outlawed, the death penalty for homosexuality, women barred from working or holding office, blasphemy laws, and one party theocratic rule.

AOC on Elon Musk:

Those "minority faiths" Wilson doesn't like include the "wrong" versions of Christianity - with Roman Catholicism at the top of his list.

Hegseth welcomes radical Christian nationalist to lead an official Pentagon prayer service Pastor Doug Wilson’s role at an official event at the Defense Department should be seen as a scandal worthy of scrutiny.

Pastor Doug Wilson wants to ban women from voting and end First Amendment protections for minority faiths he doesn’t like.

Hegseth invited this fringe Christian nationalist to the Pentagon yesterday to lead an official prayer event.

How is this not a scandal?

Trump is their current useful idiot, just like the Bushes and Reagan were before him.

Trump stop it? 😂😂😂😂😂

My ideal result would be Crockett in the Senate and Talarico in the House one day. Maybe January 2029?

I don’t know how anyone could listen to Jasmine Crockett’s full response to Jen Psaki’s question about Stephen Colbert’s interview with James Talarico and have a problem with it.

She’s keeping it real by saying it worked out well for Talarico’s campaign, which is accurate.

🔥 WATCH: “I feel much safer with undocumented immigrants than I EVER will with ICE agents!!!”

Sheriff deputies descend on a WILSON COUNTY man as he spouts some hard truths in opposition to a rumored ICE detention center (which they have now backed off of)

WHITE HOUSE: "When you see it on Truth Social, you know it's directly from President Trump."

TRUMP 2 WEEKS AGO: "Somebody posted, a staffer posted ... somebody slipped. I didn't do it. This was done by somebody else."

Shrub's poodle? No surprise there!

It’s been working for a good 60+ years. Manipulating the base’s ignorance & hate is how the GOP brought us to where we are today.

Give Jared a call.

Colbert Ratchets Up Battle With CBS in Scorching Monologue — Literally Trashes Network’s ‘Crap’ Statement Claiming They Didn’t Kill Talarico Interview Colbert argued that “every word” of his Monday script about the Talarico interview was “approved" by the same CBS lawyers who panned his claim in a statement.

How Trump Put Veteran Care in Crisis - The American Prospect Thousands of staff have left the health care side of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and those who remain are approaching burnout.

There hasn't been enough of a look back at agencies that have seen significant attrition during Trump's assault on the federal workforce. Today we do that with a profile on those who departed the VA health care system, many of them vets themselves. The system is struggling to survive.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social, good point about the Colbert/Talarico thing.

If I were conspiracy-minded, I'd think that the White House figured out the way to hurt Jasmine Crockett's chances in the Senate primary in TX would be to make sure Talarico's Colbert interview became huge the day before early voting started because polls show Crockett beating Paxton in the general.

I find it frustrating that the left has been characterized as more prone to scolding when the right’s entire culture is built on an openly insidious kind of scolding
