🏳️‍🌈 SANDERS INDEPENDENT 🇺🇸

Dershowitz casts doubt that grand jury testimony will yield answers on Epstein Instead, the longtime Harvard professor lobbied for Epstein confidant Ghislaine Maxwell to be granted immunity in exchange for testifying in front of a congressional committee.

Epstein’s former lawyer says key information on the disgraced financier's relationships with the rich and powerful is unlikely to be found in the grand jury transcripts that the White House wants unsealed.

If someone makes a joke about a trump distraction, they’re not falling for the distraction. They’re making a joke. Humor is important. If it weren’t, Trump wouldn’t have gotten Colbert fired.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Trump is so desperate to change the subject from Epstein that his DOJ is literally putting out press releases about Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Trump: “People don’t explain to me, I explain to them.”

Now apply this to Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi didn’t explain the results on an investigation to Trump. Trump explained to Bondi the conclusion he wanted.

This is, to me, the defining dyamic of everything the last six months. Any game theory notion of deterrence or the shoe being on the other foot ever is entirely gone. Either 1) They don't think they'll ever lose power again or 2) they're confident Democrats won't ever do the same things back to them

Folks, we are having some serious weather pop up in areas of the state, with warnings in the Northern region. Please have your weather alerts on and take shelter if needed.

CBS cancels Colbert as media continues to turn Trumpward It's not just bending the knee. It's also oligarchic solidarity.

"Execs at CBS’s parent company Paramount may have dumped Colbert not to appease Trump, but to join with him. There’s ample evidence that billionaires genuinely, sincerely like Trump’s vision of authoritarian rule by billionaire, and want to do their part to crush dissent and discipline the proles."

White House removes Wall Street Journal from Scotland press pool over Epstein bombshell A White House spokesperson declined to comment on if the Journal would be included in the pool in the future, either on the White House campus or on subsequent trips.

If you aren’t already following @rachelwells1.bsky.social, who reports on reproductive health from Tennessee & scooped the story about the woman who was denied care for a pregnancy because she was unmarried, you’ll want to follow her immediately!

I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.

ATTN: If you're one of the Treasury employees that handled Epstein's Suspicious Activity Reports, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary.

Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

BARCLAYS cuts $TGT to Underweight:

".. absent a bigger strategic shift, we believe sales will continue to underperform. .. the macro seems like it could get worse as inflation is just starting to accelerate. .. Further, our work suggests trends weakest among TGT's more frequent shoppers .."

This is what fear looks like.

Doesn't matter how we feel about immigration, undocumented folks or anything else. This is happening in your name & w your dollars. You good with that?

I hope everyone notices that Trump is trying to normalize the idea of arresting political opponents for no reason

(Trump attempted a coup in 2021 so miss me with the false equivalences)

The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. The president's job is to "faithfully execute" the decisions we've made and he has signed into law. He may not impound, redirect or confiscate money outside federal law.

Constitutional crisis is here

notice that all they do when they talk about the need to stop talking about the Epstein story is to talk about the Epstein story so let’s not tell them not to stop talking about the need to stop talking about Epstein so that they will keep talking about him 🤫🤫

Migrants at Ice jail in Miami made to kneel to eat ‘like dogs’, report alleges Incident in which migrants were shackled with hands tied of one succession of alleged abuses at jails in Florida

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities.

MTG: “.. The base will turn and there’s no going back. Dangling bits of red meat no longer satisfies. They want the whole steak dinner and will accept nothing else.”

The Epstein Cover-Up at the FBI Inside the chaotic review process of the Epstein and Maxwell files at the Bureau

The amazing thing about brave people speaking out is that it inspires others to do the same by creating a permission structure. Since I published this article 4 hours ago, I've heard from multiple sources confirming what's in it. www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

Have any of these politicians trying to get access to ICE facilities actually sued to get access? i think the courts would absolutely allow it.

Also, only cowards hide their faces, ICE.
