"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers

Jeffrey Epstein shut down Congress.

He said that he had just come from meeting with Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center and that his client was not happy. (Good! I remember thinking.) “I think my client might want to have an interesting conversation with your office,” he said. I had expected an overture. With Epstein facing forty-five years in prison—a life sentence for a man his age—it made sense for him to want a deal. But my openness to one was quite limited. He’d already been given the deal of the century in South Florida, buying him more than a decade of undeserved freedom. Prosecutors, though, never foreclose the conversation. At minimum, you may get new leads, more victims to talk to, additional perpetrators. “The Southern District is always interested in having interesting conversations,” I said. I told my team to expect a call. A few days later, Weingarten reached out. He said that his client would come in for a proffer—an agreement between a defendant and a prosecutor’s office in which the defendant agrees to share information with the understanding that his statements won’t be used against him at trial.

But Epstein had one condition: he wanted assurances that the SDNY did not see him as a rapist. That was the end of that. He was a rapist, and we were not about to give him some other, more polite-sounding label.

Note that Epstein did try to proffer cooperation. (This is from Geoffrey Berman's book.)

You know who might know substance of proffer? Maurene Comey.

Depends on which tech bros are on the list.

What am I doing wrong? I can’t find the Bezos wedding memes. I know they’re out there? #bezoswedding #richpeoplebethetackiest

Luxury jet. Netflix deal for Melania. Real estate deals in middle east. Price fixing. Cryptocurrency. The list goes on and on. His presidency is one big grift, and we’re paying the price.

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

My 2-year-old was in an ICE detention facility when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why am I being deported to Honduras?" And when I told her "Because due process is too woke," she started crying.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

People marching and holding protest signs and American flags in downtown Fort Worth, Texas

People starting to march in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. Several are holding flags and protest signs.

A crowd is gathered in a large open park under a canopy of trees. Many are dressed up in patriotic attire and are holding protest signs. The crowd is assembling and will begin to march soon.

@altnps.bsky.social thank you for the Fort Worth shout out. We’re the biggest red city in the nation and there are a lot feisty blue dots here who want to change that stat!

A+

I truly don’t get people who are disappointed by him…he was never anything but a whiny little bitch.

Yes. We were told at a recent union meeting that the deductions were no more.

“Hey edgelord bros, I hate women too. If I fuck them over will you love me now?”

I can’t wait for someone to primary you out, you fascist, boot licking shitstain.

I don’t do this often and promise not to make a habit of it, but just this once: WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!

I just won the Majestic Intergalactic Woman of the Year Award. The awards dinner is on Pluto. I want to thank all the other nominees who lost. Can't wait for the flyover from Space Force. Super rockin' times!

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

Dear universities, scientists, lawyers, farmers, workers, artists, doctors...

Being silent won't protect you.

MAGA is big mad that Eminem led a “f*ck Trump” chant at his concert.

A still shot from the South Park episode with the Underpants Gnomes, there is an Underpants Gnome standing in front of a placard that reads: Phase 1: Collect Underpants, Phase 2: ?, Phase 3: Profit.

Everything this administration is doing looks like it came from a business plan just like this one.

Meh. He lost at voting for Trump in ‘20 and ‘24. He’s an idiot.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help
