TLDR

1) very real accuser OF TRUMP in the Epstein files
2) FBI found her credible
3) Epstein found dead THE DAY AFTER the interview was formally entered into the record

He should get AI to render two versions of himself and then get it to have him “do a requiem for a dream on himself”

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Who had the most contact with Jeffrey Epstein?
YouTube video by The Economist Who had the most contact with Jeffrey Epstein?

Who had the most contact with Jeffrey Epstein in the final decade of his life? In the years after he pled guilty to soliciting sex from a minor, he maintained consistent contact with a vast network of rich and powerful figures. Our data team analysed 1.4m emails to map their relationships

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

Smart enough to end themselves but not enough to save themselves is probably a cliche in some language on some ancient planet 4,000,000 galaxies away.

“I Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.

We'll let their words speak for themselves.

U.S. Deports Nine Migrants in Secret, Ignoring Legal Protections Most had court orders protecting them from removal to their home countries, so they were sent to detention in Cameroon.

The Trump regime is routinely telling US judges to go screw themselves -- ignoring and violating court orders, and flagrantly spitting on people's constitutional rights.

So far, not even one regime apparatchik has been held accountable in any serious way.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I can think of several dozen historians who would be happy to lecture @jaketapper.bsky.social about why "concentration camp" is, in fact, an apt term.

It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

It’s horseshit that capitalism promises opportunity and relative wealth for everyone and yet demands austerity from so many. Inherently contradictory

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is Literally the Job Political journalists need to stop pretending they don't know what Republicans are going to do.

"They told us what they were going to do. They published it. They put it on a website. And when it happened, the press was surprised."

Hoo boy, everyone should bookmark this @parkermolloy.com piece & make sure everyone involved in media reads it.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
