Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices.
Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.
Why can’t a single American journalist do this?
Trump has repeatedly claimed he’s ended numerous wars — he’s now increased the number to ten! — and he’ll surely do it again.
Ask him to name the wars he says he’s won.
Ask Leavitt. Ask Hegseth. Ask Rubio.
Just fucking ask them & don’t let go.
MONSTER
@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "Maxwell is a convicted sex trafficker and a liar. She cannot be trusted... Todd Blanche was Donald Trump's personal lawyer before he became deputy AG. His arranging of this deposition, his then moving her to a less secure facility, we're not going to be tricked by this."
fantastic lede from sam, and the rest of it ain’t too shabby either
A couple of interesting things about the Ghislaine Maxwell/Todd Blanche audio recording: it's not one continuous recording. It's broken up into 7 parts on day one, and 4 parts on day two. Further, Todd Blanche says he spoke to Maxwell off the record for several minutes before the recording. 1/
My God.
This hit so hard.
Because you know what they're going to choose.
And it makes you feel like, as a species, we may be irredeemable. So many of us find just doing the basic decent thing an utter impossibility.
Epstein victims lawyer Spencer Kuvin: "We now know from the words of the President himself that Virginia was right all along, and that she was trafficked out of Mar-a-Lago.”
ICE smashed car windows in 50 cases in the first month of Trump’s 2nd term - versus 8 cases over the prior decade, per Propublica.
Staying in the car is seen as resisting arrest, even for pregnant women or scared kids, people with no criminal records.
Call / email Congress to investigate ICE!
BREAKING: An ICE vehicle just RAMMED into a civilian car in Boyle Heights.
Then they gassed it.
Then they dragged out the driver.
All three people in that car are U.S. citizens.
This is militarized racial profiling on steroids.
Richest guy in the world telling us we can’t afford to have our government fund cancer research.
Howard Lutnick, Trump’s billionaire buddy turned commerce secretary, has confirmed that the administration was simply lying to MAGA supporters about not touching Social Security and Medicare.
The accuracy of the political cartoons recently is incredibly painful.
I've known a bunch of editorial cartoonists and I've seen them comment on some hard times. I've never seen anything like this before.
Rep. Tom Suozzi gets huge applause and a standing ovation after calling out Trump’s ambush of President Zelenskyy at the White House.
Suozzi is a Democrat who won a special election in a red district—more of this, please!
Every single Dem should be holding town halls across the country RIGHT NOW.
If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.
Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

This hits hard…
“Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.”
You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.
Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people
