SO easy to say, but the crushing void of any action on the part of Democrats is also an embarrassment and stain on our democracy. Shame on you, and shame on us.

Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgia—by Elon Musk The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search.

But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections.

Also, “The IG’s office is investigating a complaint that *Ms* Chavez-DeRemer was having a sexual relationship with a subordinate—a member of her security detail—and abusing her office by taking staff to strip clubs, drinking alcohol on the job and taking personal trips at taxpayer expense.”

How Epstein and Maxwell used an elite Midwest arts school to prey on girls Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell lavished money on the Interlochen Center for the Arts to gain access, documents show — even funding an on-campus lodge they stayed in. In the process, two teenagers were pulled into their orbit.

Today is also the anniversary of FDR's signing of Executive Order 9066, which authorized the forced removal of 120,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast.

February 19—not a great day in American history!

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

Rep Ted Lieu claims what 99.9999% of the world already thinks — the unredacted Epstein files contain allegations of Trump raping children. 😳👇

Oversight Democrats are not backing down.

If Les Wexner claims he doesn’t remember, then he needs to turn over his financial records and let the money tell the story.

Survivors deserve justice. It’s time for the cover-up to end.

Distorted sound of the early universe suggests we are living in a giant void Looking up at the night sky, it may seem our cosmic neighborhood is packed full of planets, stars and galaxies. But scientists have long suggested there may be far fewer galaxies in our cosmic surroun...

Imagine soap bubbles the size of a house. Now imagine a cluster of bubbles, everyone has seen that pattern in a bathtub. Galaxies and galaxy clusters lie along the thin surfaces of those bubbles. On that scale, our galaxy would be like a single water molecule.

The fact that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche publicly stated that DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files is almost certain proof that the images exist.

By withholding the images entirely rather than redacting minors, he is protecting the abusers.

Release the Epstein Files

A central figure in our government. Shameful shit.

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump is convicted of child molestation against 2 children

He attempted to keep one victim quiet by claiming he would receive $10 million from the Trump administration as restitution for former Jan. 6 defendants and would share the money with the victim in his will 😑🖕

This is your periodic reminder: Trump is literally in teh Epstein files.

It's still a cover-up
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.
13,000 unredacted mentions and counting.

‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

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."

‘A pretext to rig the election’: Democrats scramble to block ICE crackdowns near polling sites Election officials are preparing for the possibility of immigration enforcement activity at or near polling sites in November.

We have an Epstein problem that is closing in.

However, we also have a Christo-Fascism problem that might not be going away.

Israel’s Military Now Accepts 70,000 Killed in Gaza – But Why Did Our Media Let Them Get Away With Denying It for So Long? I have spent the past two years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with supporters of Israel. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them.

“How many times, then, will Western journalists allow themselves to be fooled by Israeli propaganda – by military denials that later collapse under the weight of evidence?”
