Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase β€œaccused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory β€œhasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen says black, oil-contaminated rain is falling over Tehran after strikes on oil facilities by U.S./Israeli airstrikes.

I don’t love that the most unhinged versions of the Epstein theories get more plausible the more information we get instead of less

North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.

One of those clips where you really have to watch the whole thing, because reading the most egregious quote in the rant doesn’t fully capture how 1) racist, and 2) cognitively impaired the president is.

Since we're dumping on Timothee today, I watched Marty Supreme yesterday. It's neurotic and propulsive (complimentary) and Chalamet is physically throwing himself into it. But I could not get past the fact that he was the only actor not doing an appropriate accent. It was weird!

A man who was held at an ICE detention facility in Texas before being deported to the Netherlands told the AP that he heard a guard talking about a staff betting pool on which detainee would be next to commit suicide

I continue to believe that a whole lot of these misperceptions would be alleviated if they made the models reply in the third person, rather than the first. Not, β€œI found this information for you,” but instead, β€œthe query generated the following results.”

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

If grandpa spoke with this level of contempt, racism, and incoherence, you wouldn’t let him give a toast at a family dinner

Do they understand the term β€œbars” there? When we moved to CT in 1994 my mom offered to make bars for something and they were absolutely befuddled.

β€œβ€¦Bars?”

But maybe there’s been enough cultural exchange now?

Yesterday I observed 15 shackled detainees being loaded on the ICE Air flight at MSP. In this clip, as the last one hobbles on, staff put away a full-body WRAP restraint, which had been laid out next to the airstairs.

We have a senile president who:

-launched a failed coup in his first term
-is corruptly enriching himself to the tune of billions
-is credibility accused in a pedophile sex trafficking ring
-is sending federal agents on ethnic terror campaigns
-is starting wars all over

Impeach, remove, prosecute.

An original Nashville sit-in member, along with Diane Nash, James Bevel, and John Lewis. Trained in non-violence by James Lawson. At age 21, he signed a will before the Freedom Rides, knowing he could die.

May his soul be at peace, and may we all have such courage in the face of oppression.

It’s beyond obscene, what this city values. We can ALWAYS find more money for MPD and we can never seem to find more money for MPS.
