YouTube video by Rep. Melanie Stansbury Rep. Stansbury: Latest on Ghislaine Maxwell Deposition

This morning, Ghislaine Maxwell blanket pleaded the 5th during her deposition in the Epstein case. What’s the message? She seems to be making it clear to Donald Trump that he can buy her silence with clemency.

Not on our watch. Here is the latest. ⬇️

OMG I needed a laugh today. This never fails. I wish I had a videoconference today so I could pay homage.

Having...having a private moment apparently

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Judging by the rightwing outrage over the Bad Bunny halftime show I'm wondering if *anybody* watched that sad little Kid Rock show.

When will people understand that this nut is not a genius

Any opera fan will tell you that you don't need to understand the language to enjoy the performance, and be moved by it.

In honor of The Olympics, I strongly believe Chuck should pass the torch. Now.

ICE Uses Disguises and Fake Plates for Immigration Enforcement in Minnesota A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not respond to inquiries about whether the men were federal immigration officers. As the sweeping imm...

Drug overdose deaths plummeted in Maryland, Baltimore again last year Preliminary state numbers show a more than 45% decrease in drug overdose deaths since 2023.

Thanks to the hard work being done by our Office of Overdose Response and @mdhealthdept.bsky.social, 2025 was the 2nd year in a row Maryland has seen significant drops in overdose deaths – dropping by almost half since 2023.

We remain committed to reducing overdoses and keeping Marylanders safe.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

If we do take the Senate I want a new majority leader.

Saw an interview with Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald journo who has extensively covered Epstein: and she stressed how much the *female* prosecutor of Epstein was overruled by men when she wanted to charge him.

I remember when my mom, who’s in her 70s, and I heard Kamala Harris announce her care-at-home plan. We were so excited. She even explained it was cheaper than hospital care. To us, it felt like someone was actually planning to make healthcare better.

Now look where we are.

Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

I'm a Columbia Heights resident. ICE is still here, terrorizing, breaking laws, harassing people, causing chaos. Tell your family and friends. No matter what this administration's minions report: Nothing Has Changed.

🤣🤣🤣
Don't get me started on Benedict. They turned him into a nut.

There's homage and then there's...a lack of imagination 🙄

That scene when the stepmother first comes to Sophie's home is completely copied from Ever After.

Ok I'll try it! God knows I'll never watch GoT again 😒
