Yikes — Epstein showing appreciation for @GovBillLee pal Betsy Devos making it harder to report sexual abuse on campuses

Tonight, I sent my recent royalty monies to @foodbankrockies.bsky.social because people are still hungry. 💖

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

It’s the Epstein Administration.

No wonder Bondi spent the entire hearing screeching and deflecting.

H/T: @aaronparnas.bsky.social

Bondi & the DOJ went to great lengths, to spy on lawmakers searches.
As with everytime Bondi's called to explain herself & department, she's been rude, failed to answer or used her burn book to counter act any & all guestions, by knowing all the guestions & lawmakers ticks to attack & avoid answers

In August 2018, while still serving as Florida's AG, Bondi co-hosted The Five on Fox News 3 days in a row while also appearing on Sean Hannity's Fox News show, violating the Florida Code of Ethics.

The Tampa Bay Times noted it was "unprecedented" for a sitting elected official to host a TV show.

THREAD 🧵 The latest batch of Epstein Files are disgusting and shocking. We wanted to give the public an understanding of the most important takeaways.

Google it Seriously,look it up. It is statistically rare for a criminal enterprise of this scale to exist for decades without a single financial benefactor being compelled to testify under oath about how their funds were managed or what they observed on shared properties where crimes were committed…

Yes, my daughter was raped in the Marine Corps. They were kicking out a guy who had done some pretty terrible things, but had him living in the barracks with the regular Marines. While waiting for his courts martial, he decided to rape my daughter. She was too humiliated to tell anyone for years.

Yes i know the JE case is a huge power abuse and as a woman who was assaulted in the Marines and then each time they told ME to change duty stations nothing for the men. Reason: "it is difficult for these men to be in a war zone and away from spouses and not still have needs"
Bullshit 😡

THIS- it was the same in the US military for women- just without the millions it was about power for the older mostly white men

The Epstein files don’t expose a mystery, they expose a system: years of abuse, endless enablers, victims telling the truth, and powerful people protected by silence, settlements, and delay while justice never shows up.

I wonder if there are any cadaver dogs in New Mexico that aren't real busy today!🤷🏼

From the files and from public info I have a whole new direction that all leads in a circle to the same ppl but more.

Verge headline: ‘Shut up and focus on the mission’: Tech workers are frustrated by their companies’ silence about ICE by Hayden Field Photo illustration depicts a person in a window on a PC, typing at a laptop. Looming in the background are ICE law enforcement agents

“The dissent I’ve seen is like a whisper. It’s a fear-based culture right now.”

Across the industry, workers describe a ‘fear-based culture’ and pressure to ‘fall in line.‘

No one can deny that ICE under this Administration is being overly aggressive, violating people's rights, and endangering the lives of U.S. citizens and law abiding immigrants. We cannot move forward without commonsense reforms.

People talking about terrible teachers and gender bias in STEM fields & I can remember when the anatomy teacher tried to keep a girl from going on a field trip to Chico State to view a cadaver. Her mom raised absolute hell & now that girl has a Ph.d in molecular biology and leads R&D.

Love this song from John Denver who is sorely missed! I always felt that John Denver was way ahead of us all. He was environmentally friendly and was aware of how important it is to take care of planet earth!

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

REP. BALINT: “This is not a game, Secretary!”

BONDI: “I’m Attorney General.”

REP. BALINT: “My apologies. I couldn’t tell.” 🔥

How WA lawmakers are trying to regulate data centers • Washington State Standard Washington legislators advanced data center legislation out of the House Appropriations Committee Monday with two significant changes.

With data centers expected to become the largest source of electricity demand in the Pacific Northwest, Washington legislators are pressing ahead with a bill aimed at protecting the grid and offsetting potential hikes for utility ratepayers. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/02/11/h...

Bring it on.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.
