Bondi reportedly put 1,000 people in 24-hour shifts for two weeks in March to review the Epstein files. She made them flag mentions of Trump.

And then ...

She decided she couldn't release anything. 😯

it isn’t hyperbole, donald trump has pardoned more child sex offenders than any president in american history

With Colton's conviction, that makes FOUR pardoned January 6th insurrectionists who have faced charges for solicitation of a minor or child sex abuse of some kind.

And the lights WILL be turned back on.

DHS Faces New Pressure Over DNA Taken From Immigrant Children The US government has added the DNA of approximately 133,000 migrant children and teens to a criminal database, which critics say could mean police treat them like suspects “indefinitely.”

NEW: The US government has added the DNA of approximately 133,000 migrant children and teens to a criminal database, which critics say could mean police treat them like suspects “indefinitely.”

We need political science literature to reflect the fact that closing their hospitals didn't turn Trump's supporters against him but denying that there was an elite sex trafficking ring did.

If they're willing to keep walking into this trap and taking the damage to their own political coalition, it's probably because the alternative is worse, right?

Oh my god, they're doing the meme.

Yall should pour as much energy as you do for ‘Love Island’ into finding out who LOVED to go to Epstein’s ISLAND

For those just waking up: last night Republicans voted against an amendment put forward by Democrats that would have forced the public release of all the Epstein files

Day after day goes by. As a person with a beating heart, I will never understand how ANYONE can see the terrible things that are happening across this country & world and still find a way to support the current sickos we have in power right now. I’ll never forgive those who supported all of this.

Gallup has new polling on immigration. Topline findings:
-Americans hate Trump's immigration policy (35% approve, 62% disapprove)
-Share who say immigration is a "good thing" for the country just hit an all-time high (79%)

University of Louisville President Bradley: Despite our efforts to convince members of Congress of OBBB harms, "the final version of the legislation is worse than we feared. Calling it 'drastic' is an understatement. These changes threaten to upend health care in Kentucky for generations to come."

So Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years for trafficking girls to nobody?!?!

Are We About to Have Labor Camps in the United States of America? If you think that’s far-fetched, then you really haven’t been paying attention to what the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have been up to lately.

An astonishing figure in this piece:

Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing.

This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers.

That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.

So what do you all think will happen when ICE runs out of “illegals” to hunt? They are coming after US citizens next. Homegrowns as our president put it.

With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

So we know it’s going to pass let’s bookmark this and remember in November

Trump’s Tax Scam would give ICE a bigger budget than many militaries around the world.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Incredible to think how much damage Mitch McConnell talking GOP senators out of convicting Trump in the Senate in 2020 continues to do to Kentucky. Now presidents are immune from prosecution and rural Kentucky is forsaken. All to keep that bastard alive politically. Hell can’t be hot enough.

The GOP bill would take healthcare from 17 million people. Big numbers can be hard to understand - 17 million is the same as the *entire* population of:

Wyoming
Vermont
Alaska
North Dakota
South Dakota
Delaware
Rhode Island
Montana
Maine
New Hampshire
Hawaii
West Virginia
Idaho
Nebraska

COMBINED

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

There are only three political positions in America today

1) I like the fascism

2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)

3) I oppose the fascism

The rest is details

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

See that giant bar all the way to the left? That's how much rural Kentucky stands to lose under the proposed federal Medicaid cuts.

We wouldn't just lose more than any other state, we'd lose around twice as much as any other state.

Louisville Center Aly Khalifa Wins Appeal, Eligible to Play 2025-26 Season Khalifa, who redshirted the 2024-25 season to rehab a knee injury, was originally deemed ineligible this past May,

#Louisville announces that center Aly Khalifa has won his appeal with the NCAA, and is eligible to play the upcoming 2025-26 season.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.
