It was really easy to cut off funds to feed starving children, but cutting funds to roving fat guys in masks and guns is a bridge too far?!

Come. On.

Norway’s Foreign Ministry announced that Ambassador Mona Juul has tendered her resignation after her name was noted repeatedly in the Epstein files. The ministry cited a "serious lapse of judgment" on her part. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kom...

Leaders of the so-called β€œpro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising β€” but it’s staggering. Remember this.

Seriously, who the hell puts their own name on a memorial built to honor someone else who has passed?

And then he closes it down because nobody wanted to play there with his name on it.

What a psychotic loser.

Pro-Trump Super PAC Raises Record-Breaking $305 Million MAGA Inc. has relied on multimillion-dollar donors to raise an unprecedented amount in support of a lame duck president.

The $305 million raised by the main super PAC supporting President Trump comes almost entirely from megadonors: 96% of its funds are from donors giving $1 million or more.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

I posted an article earlier about Vance's motorcade causing problems in Milan and thought the same about this detail in the article. He brought a bunch of food TO Italy!

"Terrorism" refers to violence to achieve political ends. Research studies showing that immigrants commit fewer crimes means that ICE's actions are about Trump's racist politics, not law. That means ICE operates as a de facto racialized terrorist organization, not unlike the Gestapo.

excerpt from Miami Herald's great report on Epstein, with my highlights

VillafaΓ±a drafted an 82-page prosecution memo proposing **60 indictment counts** and, after it was reviewed by DOJ's OPR, they called her work "exhaustive" and "well done"

Alex Acosta didn't read it.

Milan mastered happy hour. You order a drink in Milan and they bring you a whole spread of cured meats and cheeses and whatnot with it. Quality stuff, not garbage. You know how much you have to suck to get people who could be sipping a negroni and nibbling good olives to take to the streets instead?

NSA detected foreign intelligence phone call about a person close to Trump Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

What will it take to impeach, convict, remove from office and then criminally prosecute the co-conspirators in this criminal, and likely treasonous, Republican regime?

Graph showing that policies blocking ICE access to jails have kept immigration arrest rates lower in some states.

What's the difference between states like Florida, where ICE arrests are sky-high, and states like Illinois with much lower rates of arrests? It's all about police & jails.

Arrest rates out of homes, workplaces, etc are similar – but reining in sheriffs makes all the difference.

In an era defined by the chilling sight of agents rounding up members of the immigrant community, Bad Bunny at the #SuperBowl2026 provides a necessary counter-narrative: a vibrant display of cultural strength for millions of Latinos.

I am open to the idea that ole Jeff was murdered and it was a coverup by the government but folks- accidentally using a template with the previous day's date in a draft is a perfectly reasonable explanation. Perhaps it's a clue to followup on but you'd need the document metadata and server logs
