Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareโ€™s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

NEW: @rokhanna.bsky.social is calling for Congress to haul in every person who emailed Epstein about visiting his island.

He says he wonโ€™t rest until those who committed these crimes are held accountable.

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan.

Itโ€™s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.

Moulton: This is state-sponsored terror. This is what you would expect to see in North Korea or Iran or the old Soviet Union. Weโ€™ve got to crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.

Jeff Bezosโ€™s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Postโ€™s losses with what heโ€™s made since Monday.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that โ€œimmigrants are bleeding us dryโ€ noise? Absolute bullshit.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

What should alarm us about the Epstein files isnโ€™t just the appalling details, which are horrific and criminal.

Itโ€™s that here is a growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law.

Virginiaโ€™s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda.

Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists โ€” including the reporter covering Amazon.

Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

If Jeff Bezos had any strength of character he would pay someone to take the newspaper he's destroyed off his hands and contribute money to a trust to restore it.

Wow: This appears to be a draft statement written by Ghislaine Maxwell in which she addresses allegations made against her and Prince Andrew by Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell appears to confirm that the photo is real and admits that Epstein committed crimesโ€”contradicting her sworn testimony.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. Iโ€™m also among 100โ€™s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valleyโ€™s political power

Quick round up:

- the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile
- heโ€™s openly taking bribes from foreign governments
- his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets
- the FBI is helping him steal the election
- heโ€™s threatening war against multiple allies
