Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration.

“If this guy isn’t impeached and removed, what’s the point to the whole Constitution? You can’t have a fucking criminal running the government for his own benefit screwing the people. And that’s what we have.”

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

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

With calls growing for Kristi Noem to be fired or impeached as public trust in ICE plummets, it looks like the rats are abandoning the ship as DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin is leaving.

Countdown now starts on Tricia joining Fox News as a paid contributor.

Sometimes you just need some history, if the word history rubs you wrong, let's call it, a great story by a wonderful storyteller.
Written & read by @hcrichardson.bsky.social

As many have argued, people felt empowered by -- or had business ideas for -- a dot-com world. The AI discussion is much more about what it will take away.

The DOJ managed to do something remarkable with the Epstein files. They’ve over-protected the powerful and under-protected the victims.

I wrote about what we know, what’s still redacted, and why the surveillance of Congress should alarm everyone: open.substack.com/pub/logicall...

Today’s massive russian missile strike on critical infrastructure has failed.

The Ukrainian Air Force demonstrated high effectiveness — 25 out of 29 missiles and 367 out of 396 drones were shot down. That amounts to roughly 90% effectiveness.

DONALD TRUMP: “I’ve been totally exonerated…”

REALITY:

• The DOJ has been shielding him.

• Multiple lawsuits, court documents, and allegations in the files name Trump.

• Not charged is not the same thing as exonerated.

There’s no President Barack Obama without Jesse Jackson. It just doesn’t happen.

ICE holds people in disgusting conditions. Now it’s turning warehouses into camps | Moira Donegan The Trump administration has bought warehouses across the US that could hold thousands. But resistance is growing

"The Trump administration is seeking to expand and intensify this archipelago of torture," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social.

"Mass illness, abuse, immiseration and death will be the inevitable result. How will we live with the shame?"

210. The President's Lack of Power Over Elections President Trump keeps insisting that he can unilaterally change the rules for voting in the midterms. It's not just that he's *wrong*; it's that there's no mechanism through which he could even *try.*

President Trump keeps threatening to unilaterally impose rules (like voter ID requirements) on upcoming elections.

Monday’s "One First" explains why—whether as a matter of constitutional law, existing federal statutes, or simple, practical logistics—his (ominous) threats are ultimately empty ones:

This state’s power prices are plummeting as it nears 100% renewables South Australia is proving to the world that relying largely on wind and solar energy with battery back-up is incredibly cheap, with electricity prices tumbling by 30 per cent in a year and sometimes ...

Trump’s corrupt fossil fuel stooges pretend clean energy is expensive, but reality keeps intruding. Fossil fuel paid good money for those lies, so they’ll keep at it. www.newscientist.com/article/2514...

Trump somehow got worse on public health after covid He's incapable of learning lessons and actively resists it.

New in PN: Trump somehow got worse on public health after covid

"Trump has brought us fascism, he is threatening war and violence. But it is all too possible that his most lasting and horrific legacy, in his second term as in his first, will be plague."
