Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Labor Secretary’s Husband Barred From the Department After Sexual Assault Reports

If you are somehow finding the occasion to get barred from the premises of your wife’s work on the other side of the country for sexual misconduct, what must be going on in your own anesthesiology offices?

A man claims his grandmother in Colombia—a former housekeeper at Epstein’s Manhattan home—kept hidden memory cards, photos, and tapes when she was fired. He says it includes child abuse evidence, and both ABC and Fox refused to release it. If true, she may be holding what investigators searched for.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin to leave Trump administration The move comes as public opinion has turned on the administration’s hardline immigration policies.

Bye Tricia

What year did he go to the island? If it was after 2009, he gotta go!

Navarro has repeatedly (and falsely) claimed that "illegals" were taking the jobs of Americans, including in this very interview.
If that's the case, then why is he now warning that job growth will slow amidst mass deportations? Shouldn't this be boom times for native-born workers?

"Your pets may not necessarily love it when you kiss and hug them"

Yeah well I may not necessarily love picking up poop so I guess we're all gonna have to make some sacrifices.

Maxwell's lawyer publicly offering a quid pro quo: She'll clear Trump of wrongdoing related to Epstein if granted clemency by Trump.

This suggests that if Maxwell doesn't "clear" Trump, things will come out that will further implicate him. Otherwise, the offer makes no sense.

I don't want to hear about the Epstein Files anymore, I want to hear about the Epstein Trials. This country is so fucked up.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.

No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.

Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?

No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

An incredible turn of events here. 10/10, no notes. 😂

Arrest this man.

When you know you're next to testify.

But evangelicals think he is an instrument of God??

Just sayin’.

NEW: @rokhanna.bsky.social is calling for Congress to haul in every person who emailed Epstein about visiting his island.

He says he won’t rest until those who committed these crimes are held accountable.

Well, my fellow Maine voters. Here is Susan Collins today paying tribute to her boss while holding her MAGA hat.

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

Came here for same question.

What?!? This guy isn't making sense.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

It is more accurate to say that Epstein is in the Trump files.

Stop saying underage women.
They are children.

"unusual" is a stunning word choice.

Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surf...

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.

“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

There is not enough copaganda to undo the reputational damage ICE and CBP have done to law enforcement.

Florida's next governor:

Their leadership also refers to that restaurant as existing in a theater of war they’ve been deployed to
