DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to “take all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.

“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”

between the secretary of the treasury going on cable news to discuss war strategy, and the secretary of state speaking on a roundtable about college sports during a war... i'm starting to wonder how much it actually matters who is secretary of what over there

Trump gets mad when asked Russia and Iran working together to kill US troops because he wants to talk about college sports instead

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

ALERT: I'm seeing headlines like this claiming victory on the Big Bend border wall. THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE. All DHS did was change the color of a line on a map. DHS engineers have mapped out a course for the wall in Big Bend National Park. They showed their cards. (thread 1/6)

They think, or at least pretend to think, that this doesn’t sound like obvious cope to everyone in the world

It’s an entire White House comms shop built on the premise of “my hot girlfriend lives in Canada” being believed by normal people

The Emotional Cost of Parental Deportation - JSTOR Daily A study of US citizen children shows how immigration enforcement and family separation affect mental health and stability.

What effect does parental deportation (or the threat of it) have on U.S. citizen children? My latest at JSTOR Daily focuses on research into that question by Lauren Gulbas and Luis Zayas -- notably it's a 2017 article, so...everything is worse now.

My advice to the Administration: With the U.S. uncomfortably close to a recession -- and already in a jobs recession -- don't do anything rash that could make things worse.

You have to wait till the FOURTEENTH graf to find out that the only Maine federal delegation member who's reaction is actually newsworthy...refuses to take a position.

Not sure what the goal is here but pretty sure it's not "journalism." #MEpolitics

Midterms? Tough medicine for midterms?

Ask how his strategy of dissing and demoralizing the Dem base worked in 2010 midterms

He was the mastermind (along with Messina) that led to the 2010 debacle. Still digging out from that so maybe don't listen to him this time. Or ever again
