“This was a violation of our Sacred Right to Worship and Serve our Lord Jesus Christ Freely and Safely.” ~ Church officials, in a press release

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

‘It’s All Just Going Down the Toilet’: Police Chiefs Fume at ICE Tactics

“Police chiefs who have spent half a decade trying to persuade a skeptical public that officers would curb their use of violence are contending with widespread alarm over federal officers ushering an innocent man into the snow in his shorts, arresting a 5-year-old and killing U.S. citizens.”

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

It's not the main piece here from a legal perspective here but what stands out to me is "I am disgusted and gutted at how they are treating my neighbors and my state."

It's striking how much I've heard (and said!) the word "neighbors" of late, and I think it's such a fundamental part *all this*…

I wonder if this is why Dersh is lashing out. Dershowitz is the "him" in the first sentence. This is from a deposition of VIRGINIA ROBERTS GIUFFRE. She also references Mr. Redaction Bar. #doj #epstein files

Despite DOGE slashing jobs, government spending in every month of 2025 “was greater than in every other year .. An observer who did not know when DOGE started could not identify it” on a chart. 🤡

A constant reminder

There’s a headline from the 1930s for every single thing that’s happening here today

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate:

Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

Under-reported. Thanks for sharing. Important this not be forgotten and noticed.

Same profile nearly every time. When profile moves k er to other groups that’s the cancer spreading, but the source is known. Fight hate and white supremacy. Go woke to save Democracy.

And you want me to feel sorry about his death? C'mon now.

George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Army veteran who was detained by ICE for three days without charge.

In a 1983 opinion by Ted Olson(!), DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel concluded that assigning JAG lawyers to serve as Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys violated a statute that bans military officers from exercising the duties of a civil office.

Then, Congress authorized it.

This is dumb—but legal.

I'm also not sure where that comes from: the native-born labor force participation rate is flat if not down.

Post from Donald Trump on Truth Social that reads: U.S. WORKER BOOST SINCE TRUMP TOOK OFFICE FOREIGN-BORN down 543k, native born up 2 million

The dude’s not going to win any awards for subtlety

Weak shit. Do better.
