There are 28 Republican members on the House Oversight Committee.

None of them showed for Les Wexner’s deposition on Epstein.

Cowards.

Republicans dunt want it to pass they want to campaign against dems who will block it

Republicans don't want it to pass. They want to campaign against dems who oppose it.

This was the exact opposite under Biden, where the US economy was dramatically outperforming the rest of the world

Republicans don't want to pass the SAVE Act. They want democrats to oppose it and tank it. Then they can make more false claims about election integrity and smear opponents. @kenwhite.bsky.social @masnick.com

Elon Musk tweet: "Shame on Sky News for this utterly misleading headline. Anyone pushing this false narrative deserves complete contempt. Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED, yet they name me even before Prince Andrew, who did visit."

Last year, Elon Musk said Jeffrey Epstein tried to get him to go to his island but he "REFUSED."

New emails show Elon Musk actively asking Epstein "what day/night will be the wildest party on =our island?"

And the next year, Musk asked again if there was a "good time to visit."

It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.

Anyone taking odds on which person high up inside the Trump admin will be the first to publish a book trying to rehabilitate their image by claiming that they knew he was out of his mind and doing destructive things, but they had to go along with it?

Bari only pulled this program after the promos started airing, which means she probably got a phone call. So she's not just bad at her ostensible job of running CBS news, but she's also bad at her *actual* job of running interference for the Trump admin

What are the odds he could locate Minnesota on a map?

bad manners. When, as often happens, they break it defiantly in order to shock or embarrass others, they are not necessarily being unchaste, but they are being uncharitable: for it is uncharitable to take pleasure in making other people uncomfortable. I do not think that a very strict or fussy standard of propriety is any proof of chastity or any help to it, and I therefore regard the great relaxation and simplifying of the rule which has taken place in my own lifetime as a good thing. At its present stage, however, it has this inconvenience, that people of different ages and different types do not all acknowledge the same standard, and we hardly know where we are. While this confusion lasts I think that old, or old-fashioned, people should be very careful not to assume that young or ‘emancipated’ people are corrupt whenever they are (by the old standard) improper; and, in return, that young people should not call their elders prudes or puritans because they do not easily adopt the new standard. A real desire to believe all the good you can of others and to make others as comfortable as you can will solve most of the problems.

Let's move on with the rest of the passage.

Lewis recognizes that modesty raises thorny issues, but he sweeps them aside to focus on the more important spirit. I want to bring your attention to the last sentence here:

This is all true but

1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law

2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up

The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

remember when elon musk was still in government and DOGE still active and they pretended for like a week rampent social security fraud was happening, and then it turned out they just didn’t understand that databases would include people who passed away and we never heard about this “fraud” again lol
