In firing Maurene Comey, Trump's Justice Department is hardly doing justice It's hard not to see her departure as either punishment for being James Comey's daughter or the scapegoating of a vocal advocate for sexual abuse victims.

Construction revival saves Portland housing projects After the collapse of Seabold Construction, a veteran builder led efforts to revive two stalled multifamily projects in the Albina neighborhood amid tough conditions.

Seabold Construction's closure in 2023 left two North Portland apartment buildings unfinished, with only chain-link fences safeguarding millions of dollars' worth of building equipment. The story of how one construction veteran got the projects back on track. djcoregon.com/news/2025/07...

This is an empty gesture that means nothing. Don’t fall for it. None of the Rule 6e exceptions for disclosure apply and besides, transcripts are just oral testimony - not docs, client lists or bank records. And giving Bondi the discretion to disclose “pertinent” transcripts, not all, is laughable.

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

A bookmark design for NWU, on newspaper background, made to appear like a dictionary definition for “Writer” with a series of quotes as the ‘definition’: A writer is a world trapped in a person. The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself. We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect. Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you. There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed. Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

BREAKING: Senator Dick Durbin drops a massive bombshell and reveals that Attorney General Pam Bondi "pressured" roughly 1,000 FBI personnel to sift through tens of thousands of Epstein documents to flag all mentions of Donald Trump. And it gets so much worse... In letters sent to Bondi, MAGA FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, Durbin revealed that his office has received "information" that Bondi has "pressured the FBI to put approximately 1,000 personnel in its Information Management Division" on 24-hour shifts to dig through 100,000 Epstein-related documents ahead of a possible document release. The personnel were "instructed to ‘flag’ any records in which President Trump was mentioned." No benign explanation has been provided for the frantic operation and it has supercharged allegations of a coverup.

Durbin is demanding more information about the administration's deeply suspicious handling of the files and for an explanation as to why officials are flagging documents that mention Trump. In his letters, Durbin pointed to the now-infamous 2002 remarks in which Trump stated that he had known Epstein for 15 years and thought that he was a "terrific guy" who was "a lot of fun to be with." He also mentioned the "bawdy" letter that Trump sent to Ghislaine Maxwell for inclusion in a birthday album for Epstein. Durbin stated that the letter "contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker" in addition to Trump's signature. Durbin asked Bondi, Patel, and Bongino to explain if they have personally reviewed all of the Epstein files and if the FBI has Epstein-related documents that the DOJ has no reviewed. “Is there a log of the records mentioning President Trump? If yes, please transmit a copy of the committee and the OIG,” Durbin wrote, meaning the Senate Judiciary panel and the Office of Inspector General.

On top of that, Durbin is demanding clarification on Bondi's previous statement that the Epstein client list was sitting on her desk for review. More recently, a DOJ memo claimed that the list doesn't exist. Either Bondi was lying then, or the Justice Department is lying now. Senator Durbin wrote that the memo's claim about the list “contradicts public statements" that Bondi “repeatedly made.” Not done there, Durbin also drew attention to problems with the "fully raw" footage that the administration released of the prison cell where Epstein allegedly committed suicide. "Public skepticism of the government’s transparency in this matter has been needlessly increased due to your release of surveillance video from outside of Jeffrey Epstein’s cell,” wrote Durbin. “In fact, the footage was likely modified, according to the metadata embedded in the video.” He demanded an explanation for any modifications or edits made to the footage before its release. Durbin concluded by asked for answers by August 1st. "Prompt attention to this important matter is crucial to understanding the truth and preventing this administration’s actions from causing greater harm," wrote the senator.

I'm 100% certain that DHS and FBI weren't flagging mentions of yam tits in the #EpsteinFiles to present the list to Congress....

50% of Californians pay average taxes.

40% of Californians pay lower taxes than they do in Texas and Florida.

Florida taxes their lowest wage earners more than our highest wage earners.

So who’s the high tax state??

I know not all people detained by ICE will be so fortunate, but we can hope and fight for as many as we can.

Collage of pics of rapist and pedophile Donald Trump with Epstein, Maxwell, and underage girls, with Trump’s whiny-ass post: “Stop talking about Epstein!”

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch Trump try to run from his ties to Epstein.
The new scandal for President Prat:
Pedophilia’s entered the chat.
To avoid getting wrecked,
He will dodge and deflect
And pretend he’s not part of this frat.

I'm not a fan of MTG by any means, and I think she should of been removed from congress long ago.

But I think this exposes a point that I definately agree with.

FBI agents were told to 'flag' any Epstein records that mentioned Trump, Sen. Durbin says President Donald Trump, bowing to days of pressure, asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to get grand jury testimony about Jeffrey Epstein unsealed.

If you have to order 1000+ FBI agents to flag any mention of your name in a document, imagine how many times your name must be in them. Looks like a huge coverup is about to take place.

The Trump administration cut almost $7B that was already funded by Congress to public schools. Now, they will cut more as they dismantle the Department of Education. And Trump will continue to golf as we pay for it.

NPR and PBS received ~$85 million last year in federal funding.

Trump’s golf trips will cost taxpayers over $100 million this year.

Republicans think kids learning to read is wasteful spending and indoctrination, while giving a blank check to their cult leader to golf isn’t.

Shift that $ to your @pbs.org station instead and you’ll do two good things at the same time. Do it.

Stephen Colbert dragging Trump is the energy we need today. Yes, he really said “super illegal sex stuff” 🤣

Fuck CBS.

Turnip doesn't want to save money. The wanton destruction of more than $9M in contraceptive devices for women in war zones around the world proves it isn't about the money.
