NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response.

She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

What a goddamn humiliation our backwards nation is. Just garbage.

Ghislaine Maxwell has been barred from participating in service dog training while in prison because of her crimes.

I feel like if prison officials don't trust you around dogs, you shouldn't be eligible for a pardon under any circumstances.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: Calling it a hoax is a complete disgrace to everything that my sister has worked for, everything these survivors have worked for and continue to fight for… And that feels very uncompassionate coming from somebody that’s the leader of our country.

WATCH: RFK Jr. orders HHS to determine the cause of autism by September Anti-vaccine advocates, including Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have for years inaccurately claimed that routine childhood shots may cause autism.

Only three more weeks until RFK Jr. reveals the causes of autism.

Time flies when you’re making things up out of whole cloth.

E.P.A. Moves to Cancel $7 Billion in Grants for Solar Energy

Just so we’re clear: when Trump & Republicans go after renewable energy what they’re really doing is forcing Americans to pay more on their energy bills. This move – to illegally stop a program that helps working families save $$ by installing solar panels – will do just that.

If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.

Fox News hosts are furious that Big Balls and Holly got beat up and people just filmed it instead of intervening.

“Who stands there and watches as someone gets attacked?”

These same people are perfectly fine with ICE kidnappings.

The United States under #Trump is a goddamn humiliation.

I love this journey for these car dealerships here in #Tucson. Most vehicles will end up being about $5K more. #MAGA

The hidden cost of Trump’s immigration policy?

6,700 employees reassigned from cases going after pedophiles and drug traffickers.

I've done a fair bit of walking in Cardiff the last few days & one thing I can say with certainty is that the size of cars has really got out of hand, something needs to be done. Most of our towns & cities are medieval or older in origin & they simply can't cope with these preposterous vehicles.

This is notable because McDonalds’ breakfast daypart has long been seen as a proxy for employment. You’re more likely to visit if you have somewhere to go in the morning.

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes.

Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items.

If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

Goodbye #projectblue, hello #projectbrew. As is tradition. Good job everyone for your hardwork in defeating Amazon!

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.
