The evidence Villafaña collected was serious enough that she wrote in an 82-page prosecution memo that Epstein should be charged with money-laundering and operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, according to the former law enforcement official.

Jeffrey Epstein Went to War Over Money Laundering Probe in 2007 Sex Case Federal prosecutors opened a financial-crimes investigation into Jeffrey Epstein in 2007 amid their larger sex-trafficking probe. The financier and his legal team waged a war against them, his emails ...

🚨 EXPLOSIVE NEW investigation: We uncovered previously undisclosed details about an 18-month money laundering investigation into Jeffrey Epstein that took place alongside the 2007 sex crimes probe, according to emails obtained from Epstein's personal Yahoo account

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

Given that Miyares supports Trump and the rest of his lawless regime, there is a correct and moral choice. I’m voting for someone who supports democracy over autocracy. Period.

ICE Barbie Says Immigrants Are Too Dumb to Drive Semitrucks Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made the inane claim while bragging about arresting immigrant truck drivers.

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR

State police have moved their armored vehicle forward now, and warned demonstrators they have 15 minutes to disperse. More and more Border Patrol/assorted feds arriving.

Police departments paid out $2.3 billion in settlements in one year.

We're not overspending feeding people. We're overspending beating people.

ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate — and paid cash bonuses for performance.

“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.”

Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.

Just so we’re clear…

SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s guaranteed.

Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.

‘In reality, Democratic politicians and Kamala Harris specifically talked little if at all about climate change and trans rights in 2024—and spoke constantly about “kitchen table issues.” … It failed. WelcomePAC’s only answer is, “Well, try it some more.”’

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending'

The United States was the leading destination for top scientists from all over the world.

That is ending. Politicians ended it. It will cripple our future competitiveness.

And it’s such a bitter tragedy. Almost no Americans, Conservative or Liberal, grasp what is now being stolen from them.

Graph showing life expectancy trends in 23 higher income countries between 1980 and 2024. Life expectancy increased over time in all countries. In 1980, the US is in the middle of the pack, but their life expectancy gains were slower than that of other countries, and by around 2002, the US had the lowest life expectancy of all countries. Over the next 20 years, US life expectancy increasingly tracks away from the trajectories of other countries, as their life expectancy stalls while other countries life expectancy continues to climb

This graph never fails to be shocking: "The US has experienced the earliest and greatest slowdown in life expectancy improvements among higher-income countries, reported Eileen Crimmins. “We have horrible life expectancy—and it’s getting worse and worse”"

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

I gotta be real, I did not suspect we would reach "roving mobs of white folks chanting "shame" at ICE" within 9 months, and it really feels like a sign of how much more horrifying it must be on the ground than those of us not there can even imagine.

CULTURE TRENDS SNAP beneficiaries threaten to ransack stores over government shutdown One mother claims taxpayers must feed her children as SNAP benefits face cuts By Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi • Fox News Published October 31, 2025 2:16pm EDT

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

The Trump administration is not just refusing to fund SNAP

The DOJ went into court and argued AGAINST financing the program-claiming that feeding 42 million Americans would be “disastrous”

But we all get that renovating the Lincoln bathroom takes precedence over feeding starving kids, amirite

Trump shows off luxury White House marble bathroom renovation while SNAP funding is set to lapse tomorrow.

All of us - no matter who we vote for - should be outraged that Trump is creating both a secret police force and a military presence in the streets to shut down our right to free speech, our right to assemble and our right to peacefully protest. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

This is fucking amazing
