Pam Bondi orders grand jury probe of Obama administration review of 2016 election Past probes, including two conducted by Republicans, found no such crimes. Democrats have accused Bondi of trying to distract attention from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

Bondi’s order to open grand jury investigation of Obama is absurd. Besides statute of limitations and presidential immunity problems, it will be a stretch to show a then-confidential investigation interfered with the 2016 election. THIS is lawfare.

The obligatory MAGA candidate gun photo shoot.

As a federal prosecutor of 25 years, I can tell you that it is more than "unusual" for the Deputy AG to meet with a defendant like this. I've never heard of it happening. That's not what they do.

Add to the mix that Todd Blanche was Trump's personal criminal attorney & you've got a corrupt mess.

Video 10/18 - Fox News hosts insisted that Jeffrey Epstein DID NOT kill himself! Heck no! He was murdered! MURDERED! (They pivot on a dime in the next video)

Needing to crowdfund mRNA vaccine development feels like the most American thing ever tbh

I’m afraid the U.S will never see an election again am I wrong? 😑 For the record. I’m not the one hoping there will be no election.

That’s what he said it himself and given the current developments it’s hard not to assume what they are planning. Yes, I’m Canadian but your mess affects all of us.

can't emphasize enough how crap search is nowadays, if I want to find something from the 2000s or even 2010s it's quicker for me to remember which blogs would have covered the story and go through their archives

NYT: Maxwell Opposes Request to Unseal Epstein Grand Jury Papers The disgraced financier's former companion said disclosure would harm her legal rights. "Jeffrey Epstein is dead," her lawyers wrote. "Ghislaine Maxwell is not."

By Benjamin Weiser Aug. 5, 2025 Updated 3:24 p.m. ET Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime companion of Jeffrey Epstein who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sexually exploiting and abusing teenage girls, asked a Manhattan federal judge on Tuesday to deny the government's request to unseal grand jury transcripts from its investigation of the two. "Jeffrey Epstein is dead," her lawyers wrote. "Ghislaine Maxwell is not. Whatever interest the public may have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options are viable and her due process rights remain." The court filing came as two judges are considering requests by the Trump Justice Department to release the grand jury transcripts in the Epstein and Maxwell cases. The judges had set Tuesday as the deadline for victims of the scheme and Ms. Maxwell to offer their views on the proposed disclosure.

“ghislaine we need you to make sure the grand jury testimony isn’t made public”

“ok what do i get”

“we’ll move you to a cushy prison that you normally wouldn’t be eligible for”

“say no more fam”

Odd, I was told money was so tight here in the US that we have no money for healthcare or food for our citizens, or to help people starving to death overseas.

We are neither a serious nor a responsible nation.

mRNA vaccine development is a God send of technological progress and RFK Jr. is a murderous grifting conspiracy believing monster.

I saw a redrawn map idea for Colorado that made all of Colorado blue...and I am here for Lauren Bobert not having a prayer to carpet bag across any other district in Colorado.

Okay, but can we talk about Sean Duffy wanting to build a nuclear reactor on the moon? 🌒 Like, who thought this was a good idea? While we have real issues to tackle down here, he's dreaming of space power plants. Come on, let's prioritize Earth first! 💁‍♀️ #NoThanks

"Tax the rich" chants erupt at U.S. Rep. Mike Flood's (R-WI) town hall.

It’s not just that unemployment is up 28% since the govt took office it’s that they engineered it! If you have the faintest clue about how the economy works you know that cutting public spending impacts the private sector immediately. The govt is the private sector’s BIGGEST customer.

Swapping out my What to Expect When You’re Expecting Fascism guide for What to Expect the First Year of Fascism.

What a surprise. She interviews with Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer who moved her to a cushy Club Fed right after it was over, and it just so happens she did not say anything bad about the person who is in complete control of her life right now. Amazing!

RFK Jr. pulls $500 million in funding for vaccine development The Department of Health and Human Services plans to cancel contracts and pull funding for some vaccines being developed to fight respiratory viruses like COVID-19 and the flu.

“I don’t think I’ve seen a more dangerous decision in public health in my 50 years in the business,” said Mike Osterholm, a University of Minnesota expert on infectious diseases and pandemic preparations.”

I have spent multiple weeks working on this story. We are not dropping it. I hope you will give this a read.

"I obviously can't say everything to you. That's very apparent" -- Tammy Bruce is serving world historic word salads during today's press briefing. My heart goes out to reporters who have to pretend to take this gibberish seriously.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

RFK Jr. just pulled $500 million in funding for life-saving vaccines. But hey, you'll be able to drink more sugary soda! Make America Healthy Again!

it has been said over and over but it’s worth reiterating in the face of this horrifying decision: RFK is quite literally joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer

the three categories of email I get from columbia now are (1) we did a fascism; (2) thank you for your email about how we should not have done a fascism, we hope to regain your trust someday; (3) we will let you know by mail if we have accidentally released your social security number into the world

This is real: President Trump is standing on the roof of the White House briefing room right now and no one knows why

Spread this far and wide. If you go back on my timeline shortly after Trump won in 2024…and said this is exactly what would happen. I did. Well…it is. Soon enough? We’ll see.

Hamed AleazizNicholas Nehamas By Hamed Aleaziz and Nicholas Nehamas Aug. 5, 2025, 4:51 p.m. ET On Tuesday morning, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced in an internal email that it would offer cash bonuses to agents for deporting people quickly, an incentive meant to motivate the staff to speed up President Trump’s mass deportation campaign. Less than four hours later, the agency abruptly canceled what was supposed to be a 30-day pilot program. “PLEASE DISREGARD,” Liana J. Castano, an official in ICE’s field operations division, said in a follow-up email to agency offices around the country.

🚨WHOA. According to @haleaziz.bsky.social, the Trump admin was actually going to implement the ICE "bounties" it has repeatedly said were false, offering $200 per arrest leading to a rapid deportation — and only walked the plan back after the New York Times got a copy of the memo.
