Second Life Kay

Kristi Noem sits on a horse wearing a cowboy hat. In the background is Mount Rushmore.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

I don’t know anyone whose groceries haven’t gone up. I am spending way more for the same types of food! Are we great yet⁉️

TENNESSEAN: “Ethics complaint filed claiming 8 Senators ― including @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty ― violated conflict of interest rules by supporting a provision allowing them to sue the government for millions…”

Trump's Affordable Economy?

On the Eve of Destruction, 1/19/2025, I baselined things I commonly buy at my local Kroger in SE Michigan.
I check prices monthly. Here's November's tally for the worst increases. There are many smaller ones. Watch for shrinkflation! We're paying more for less every day.

Jeffrey Epstein had 1,571 names of contacts in his little black book.

Fewer than 40 names—just 2.4%—were circled.

Donald Trump’s was one of them.

Epstein had 14 phone numbers for Trump. Fourteen ways to reach him.

If that’s not “being on the Epstein List,” what the f*ck is?

Someday, someone will do a story about why the Pulitzer jurors never nominated, and the Pulitzer board never awarded, a prize to @jkbjournalist.bsky.social, the @miamiherald.com reporter who broke the bulk of the Epstein story.

Former models for Donald Trump's agency say they violated immigration rules and worked illegally "It's like modern-day slavery."

Just reupping this big investigation @jamespwest.bsky.social did into Trump's modeling company: www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

@tizzyent.bsky.social

Yes, there is. It is called " Die already" like during the Covid epidemic.

PSA: There is no Republican health care plan.

Lindsey Halligan's Seven Times 18-Minute Gap - emptywheel After two weeks of struggle to come up with a grand jury transcript that two different judges could review, it turns out that for two hours, there isn't one.

Lindsey Halligan's Seven Times 18-Minute Gap

This catalogs the many struggles DOJ is having proving that they actually did indict Jim Comey, much less that they didn't rely on privileged comms.

Omg

Except as sex objects to be used and discarded by these kinds of men.

We are invited to assume that the New York Times did not know what Epstein was telling Landon Thomas about Trump. I decline to extend that charity.

If Epstein wanted the NYT to write about it, he should have made it about a Democrat and gotten a white nationalist hacker to leak it to them.

Let’s take a 40-second break for 🇺🇦 culture.

The Dormition Cathedral of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra was built in the 1070s.
It was blown up in 1941 – some say by the retreating soviets, others by the nazi occupiers.

Reconstruction began in 1998 in Ukrainian Baroque style, and the cathedral reopened in 2000

Absolutely fitting coda to the whole Epstein horror show is that the brave testimony of dozens of women could not be credited and we need the emails of men to deem it credible.

She is continuing to destroy herself. I read 'Jane Doe's' affidavit about what was done to her at Epstein's town house. Monster is too kind a term.

just a reminder this guy slashed the tires on his much younger female coworkers tires to trick her into getting in his car

he was married at the time

NEWS: White House Effectively Frozen as More Bombshell Epstein Documents Come to Light The White House is frozen as more bombshell Epstein documents come to light. I spent hours going through them all and will continue to do so throughout the day.

NEWS: The White House is frozen as more bombshell Epstein documents come to light. Trump isn't posting on social media and won't answer questions.

I spent hours going through them and will continue to do so throughout the day.

The public deserves to see all of this.

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

These emails are WTF WILD!

👀

It's been a deservedly disastrous day for the NYT.

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files:

Yes there are dark clouds but we keep kicking at the darkness and it will bleed daylight.

We @democracydefendersfund.org filed 12+ FOIAs & are in court to get the Trump-Epstein files from the DOJ

These emails raise questions about Ghislaine Maxwell’s statements while she gets concierge treatment

We won’t rest until all files are released

I explained on @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social👇- TN

So the next time you read a hit piece on a Democrat who called them out or see some self-righteous bullshit about how they seek the truth without fear or favor, pull out this email and ask: What did the NY Times know and when did they know it? You will get nothing but crickets from them in response.
