I sat across the deposition table from Ghislaine Maxwell when she lied repeatedly – one question after the next. We have witnessed that again with the release of Maxwell’s interview where this convicted felon repeatedly and brazenly lied on the record to the government. Maxwell ruined countless young lives with impunity for too long. Her effort to recreate history and distance herself from Epstein should not and will not be tolerated. The documents don’t lie, the multiple witnesses that testified against her at trial didn’t lie – the only person lying is Maxwell.

Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.”

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

JUST HAPPENED: West: “You can’t violate another country’s sovereignty.”

Jennings: “Why? We do it all the time. Who’s going to stop us?”

He admitted America breaks the law constantly—and then dared the world to do something about it. That’s not journalism. That’s fascism on live TV.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment.

Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.

📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Holy shit, New York!

Here’s the full view.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

It’s been around since 1983.

Her stats line up with CDC data…

All this bullshit by Tapper is more distraction from watching the current administration.

Republicans have controlled Texas for 23 consecutive years. Alabama for 15 years. South Carolina for 22 years. If there are still problems in these states, how do voters justify blaming Democrats for them?!

I remember that story

www.npr.org/2025/05/14/n...

The GOP Medicaid Cuts Are a Big F*cking Deal 7.6 million newly uninsured, and that’s not even the whole story.

A 7.6 million increase in the number of uninsured Americans would represent a massive jump, equivalent to about 30 percent of the total uninsured population today. And even that data point doesn’t fully capture the impact of what Republicans are proposing.

I try so hard, but sometimes, it all just makes me feel sad. Hug the people you love!

Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts says the rule of law is in danger and is eroding like we have rarely seen throughout history.

Maybe you should have thought about that before ruling the Presidency is above the law and giving way to the Trump regime.
