The FBI director who served when Maria Farmer logged her initial report was Louis Freeh. He is still alive. Guess who Dersh, Clinton, and Esptein used to investigate the women bringing allegations about Epstein Island? Louis Freeh. House oversight should subpoena the former FBI dir.

What did Trump officials tell the Netflix CEO today at the White House?

Looks like crony capitalism with the President corrupting the merger process in favor of the billionaire Ellison family.

WCK's #ChefsForGaza team is working alongside medical staff to support children facing acute malnutrition by providing specialized, nutrient-dense supplements. In a place where access to food & medical care remains deeply constrained, this support can mean the difference between decline & recovery.

Escarole White Bean Soup This week’s bean dish was a white bean soup with escarole and ham. I was going to make a vegetable soup with yellow eye beans, but when I was in the grocery store, I spotted escarole, which I…

Patrick Swindle is the CEO operating the Dilley concentration camp. There are people behind this. They must go to prison.

this is an absolute bald-faced lie, these were the exact consequences of the OBBB, there was a whole, separate side negotiation for an insufficient bail out for rural hospitals in order to get the bill passed and it is not to much to ask the press corpse to remember basic details

A quarter of voters in the Texas Democratic primary have never voted in a primary (D or R) before. #txlege

Tesla is a $1.5 trillion stock promotion scheme that can't even be bothered to pretend anymore

Patel was a witness in the stolen-documents case and pleaded the Fifth. A bit of a conflict of interest for him to be punishing those who worked on it.

EISEN: What the Trump administration would say is they're looking for other mechanisms to do tariffs b/c they want leverage to bring down the trade deficit

ELIZABETH WARREN: Let's start out with the fact that from Trump's "liberation day," we actually have seen the trade deficit widen, not narrow

I’ve been covering the lives of trans and gender-nonconforming people and their treatment in the law and government and in society for more than 15 years from D.C.

Shirley's bullshit viral videos looking for non-existent fraud in daycares gave Trump an excuse to send ICE into Minneapolis. How is this creep still going out in public without getting covered in spit?

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

Sometimes I wonder what my motivation is at this stage in my career. And it's this. Making sure small-minded men die mad about my inclusion. And propping the door open for as many smart and kind people as I can.

the only silver lining here is knowing how mad pete hegseth is rn that he can’t drink on tv

A whiteboard leaned against a shelf with many trinkets. On the whiteboard, it says “When you look at a blank page, think of who you love”

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said “when you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

I'm a certified Newsom hater, but this clip and summary of what he said isn't quite right.

Satellite proposals threaten the night sky In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency responsible for authorizing satellite launches and operations…

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

At least she did something that can be appealed to the 11th circuit: Judge Cannon permanently blocks release of the Jack Smith second volume on the Trump prosecutions.

The way people talk about X versus Bluesky is so disconnected from reality. Do people remember Twitter as a place where the discourse was always good faith and productive? It was and still is the opposite. The primary difference between these sites is just that one is led by and crawling with Nazis
