πŸ“ŒSo this 79-year-old pervert does not have a starring role in the Epstein Files ...

I reply: "i actually had a career in knifemaking before this. the reason why you can't avoid tariffs in knifemaking is because everyone relies on Gobelin machinery. are you aware of this?"

I reply: "you Gobelin DEEZ NUTS!"

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

I Am Suing the Department of Justice for the Epstein Files Training Videos On July 20th, I was the first to report the existence of training videos instructing FBI personnel how to flag mentions of Trump and others in the Epstein files. Today, I'm suing for those videos.

btw, we shouldn't let the firing of the BLS commissioner and the Epstein scandal distract from the fact that yesterday's job report really was bad. Outside of health care, the economy LOST jobs over the last three months.

Sigh. Here we go again. So once more, to add to the "myths that do not die," the older voters who are the mainstay of Trump's support were educated during the supposed golden age of public education. People my age, who went to good public schools and cheap colleges. /1

Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work A new Department of Energy report β€œfundamentally misrepresents” climate research and leaves out key context, multiple scientists cited in the report tell WIRED.

Of course the President who lies as he breathes pressures the Smithsonian to lie about American history. Next, Trump will pressure them to hold an exhibit showing he won the 2020 election. Every @smithsonian.bsky.social employee should’ve refused to make the change and resigned in protest.

The official White House account posted this video.

I am sickened by their lack of humanity & basic decency. This is who is leading our country.

They are mocking a horrific event in people’s lives. These immigrants at HUMAN BEINGS with loved ones & they treat them worse than animals

Jeffrey Epstein, my very, very sick pal A very weird interview with Stuart Pivar about Epstein, his science parties, his "pathology," and the industrial scale of it all.

The whole story is extremely illuminating and you basically can't stop reading it. It's like that Donald Sterling "but sir, the question was, is this your handwriting?" meme but for roughly 11 pages.

UnitedHealthcare is raising premiums for policyholders in New York and Washington after spending $9B on stock buybacks last year.

Healthcare companies are robbing you blind to enrich their executives and shareholders.

This is why we need Medicare for All.

Apparently, it is now normal for the top regulator to gloat over a show's cancellation days after meeting with the network's incoming owner -- who promised "unbiased" programming after the administration approves the merger.

History tells us that people like Trump have always been rewarded in this country without necessarily proclaiming we β€œdeserve” him. This is the country of PT Barnum and snake oil salesmen and slavery and the KKK and gullible gold rush migrants and persecution complex Puritans and on and on and on.

The Washington β€œWhatever’s” should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past. Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!

That’s not a blanket absolution of responsibility. I don’t see how the arguments around this are much different than the ethics questions surrounding doctors disclosing child abuse. The evidence shows that what you’re alluding to allows for church leaders to cover up, or even perpetuate, abuse.
