Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

This is disgusting. I’d be interested in seeing what previous DHS secretaries used for travel.

The executive jet that DHS says it needs has a “bedroom with a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs and even a bar ..”

The British arrested a Royal, and we can’t even investigate a reality TV show host.

Our system is so busted.

Trump: "Frankly, if these radical left lunatic Democrats would come and say, 'Please, help us, please,' we'd stop crimes all over the place. Sometimes we have to force ourselves upon them because they're so bad."

Bernie Sanders: "When Zohran Mamdani was running in NYC, the oligarchs said they're fleeing New York - they didn't. And I doubt that they will flee California. But I would say to them, be careful, because you are treading on very thin ice - the American People are sick and tired of their greed."

Finally, a place where I can watch Colbert interviews of political candidates

Monsters: Right now, we have to stay laser focused on this🔽 until we hear more from Rep. Castro. The Save Act must fail in the Senate.

I can get past someone voting for Trump and helping to bring about fascism if they are now committed to exerting the effort to right that wrong. But if not, I want nothing to do with them.

“It’s both sides” is conservative cope for a lifetime of voting us into fascism and justifying the bigotry that drive their voting decisions.

There are 28 Republican members on the House Oversight Committee. None of them showed up today for Les Wexner’s deposition on Epstein.

The majority of farmers voted for him three times. He bankrupted 15,000 farms in 2025. Did they really think the leopard wouldn’t eat their face?

Stop supporting oligarchs! We don’t need any bezos products. Get off meta and twitter. Stop buying Teslas.

“Illiberal governments tend to live or die by their ability to sustain corruption. They rely for support on a network of oligarchs, who in turn are tied to the administration’s success. It happened in Hungary, Turkey, Russia and increasingly, it is happening here.”

JD Vance Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail?

What innocent people do.

French model scout Jean-Luc Brunel was negotiating to provide prosecutors with evidence against Epstein in 2016—three years before he was finally arrested—but ultimately backed out

Business Insider wins first George Polk Award Business Insider has won the Polk Award for The True Cost of Data Centers, an investigation revealing the hidden costs of the AI boom.

A big package on data centers that I was part of right before getting laid off from Business Insider just won a Polk Award. Nice! Congrats to that whole team—I mostly just did some writing, but they all did a *ton* of investigative and data work. www.businessinsider.com/business-ins...

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.

So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

lol. They want to make it illegal for people not to like them. Pfff…snowflakes

Maybe we should ask the guy that was president in 2019?

US says 11 people killed in latest strikes on alleged drug boats Three boats targeted in eastern Pacific and Caribbean as Trump continues pursuit of alleged ‘narco-terrorists’

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Why would federal prosecutors in 2019 tell authorities in New Mexico to stop their investigation into Epstein and Zorro Ranch?

Understanding this tells us what we must do now and next.

— We must pay attention when courts order the government to change course, and raise hell when the Trump regime ignores those orders.

Web sites ranging from the staid C-SPAN to satirical but well-informed Andy Borowitz are all reporting that the unredacted version of the Epstein Files -- the version being kept from the public by Bondi -- include compelling, sworn first-person evidence of Trump raping little children.

Trump has been a Russian asset since the 1980s, according to US Intelligence, before he shut them up.
