It Was the Epstein Shutdown All Along Read more here.

During the shutdown, many theories emerged as to what Republicans were up to. But there was one explanation that I kept hearing from House Democrats: it was all about the Epstein Files. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/it-w...

I don’t think US taxpayers should subsidize treason against the United States

If he’s not guilty why is he acting so very very very very very very very guilty.

The President Who Cried ‘Hoax’ Republicans went after Epstein only when it was politically useful.

The “Epstein Files” saga shows that Republicans were only ever interested in using sexual assault as a pretext to smear political rivals and deprive LGBT people of their constitutional rights www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Mafia governance in action

"the only offer on the table was that I needed to resign by 5pm that day or the DOJ would basically rain hell on UVA... If I did not resign that day, I was told that the DOJ would extract/block hundreds of millions of dollars from UVA before they would even negotiate."

BREAKING: We're suing to force the Trump administration to disclose how it's considering new nationwide restrictions on medication abortion in secrecy.

Our access to medication abortion must be based on science, not propaganda or political whims.

Many call from Ukraine describing how awful the night was.

After Ghislaine Maxwell lied to Todd Blanche, someone waived her sex offender status and moved her to Club Fed with "OUT" custody - allowing her to work outside the prison walls. 3 months ago, I got her Bureau of Prisons points screen as proof. We still don't know who approved all this.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

An underrated storyline in 9 days: Youngkin has made it so people lose their voting rights for life for any felony at present. A Dem proposal that’s started advancing to restore voting rights hinges on Dems keeping the state House

As a closing argument, Cuomo reminds New York City voters that he palpably hates New York City

McIver: The things we’re seeing this president do — it’s unbelievable. I just saw the new number: $300 million for a ballroom. The audacity of this man while we’re in the middle of a shutdown and people aren’t getting paid. I saw a line wrapped around the corner in the DMV area for the food bank

ICE Barbie Ripped For Splurging $172 Million on Luxury DHS Jets The Department of Homeland Security has reportedly shelled on two high-end Gulfstream jets for Kristi Noem and other top members of the department.

Kristi Noem has been holding up FEMA funding for Americans in need all year.

But now she wants to spend $172M in taxpayer money on luxury jets for her own use.

Sheer corruption.

(2) (continued) So, to be clear, to review the names of students & professors who 3rd party vigilante organizations Canary Mission & Betar had identified as critics of Israel, the DHS took intelligence analysts away from analyzing threats of terrorism and cyber crime.

Pls read the 161 page opinion.
I want to highlight some information that came out in discovery & at trial that folks might have missed.
(1) Asst Director Hatch, is the senior director in the Office of Intelligence. He oversees intelligence reports known as Reports of Analysis (ROA)....

Gun control would reduce or prevent mass shootings and political violence like we witnessed today with the murder of Charlie Kirk.

But MAGA don't want it. So...here we are.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

The stadium Trump is in is named after Arthur Ashe, the tennis legend.

What many people today probably don't know is that Ashe was literally arrested in front of the White House in 1992 for protesting the George H.W. Bush administration's treatment of Haitian refugees. www.upi.com/Archives/199...

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

kudos to @eddiekimx.bsky.social who, whilst dealing with the lingering effects of pepper spray, walked to the office, changed his shirt and sat down to report this morning's events

The FDA Let Substandard Factories Ship These Medications to the U.S. ProPublica identified more than 150 products that were exempted from import bans since 2013. Our list provides the names of the drugs or ingredients and their manufacturers, many of which are no longe...

NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned.

Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

The landlord gutting America’s hospitals Medical Properties Trust buys up hospitals and then leases them back to health care systems. Dozens of its hospitals have gone belly up.

One reason so many American hospitals are struggling? Investors buy them up, then suck them dry, charging such high rents that services are gutted.
Reveal explores what happened to one Louisiana hospital when Medical Properties Trust came to town. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

it seems highly possible that “follow the money” is panicking some people more than birthday cards
