The Epstein Files were supposed to be released 123 days ago.

The acting head of the CDC has canceled publication of a study showing the Covid vaccine sharply cut hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter.

SPLC Indictment Reactions A federal fraud indictment against a civil rights nonprofit shocked many Americans.

SPLC Indictment Reactions.. condemnation for this abusive, sloppy, incoherent indictment meant to save Kash's job and get Blanche the AG job permanently. Shame on ANYONE who had anything to do with this outrage open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.

Isaac Asimov, writing in 1957, was strangely prescient about the debates regarding the impact of AI on intellectual work.

The Iran war won’t end when the fighting stops. Even a “short” war leaves a long economic shadow.

The real costs are just getting started:
• Higher gas prices that stick
• Inflation that lingers
• Rising interest rates
• Slower economic growth

Trump Responds to Female Reporter’s Iran Question With Rude Gesture — The Daily Beast The 79-year-old president made sure he didn’t have to answer any pesky questions.

First it was “quiet, piggy” to a female reporter. Now Trump is literally waving women journalists away with rude hand signals. This is so unacceptable how women in the White House press corps are being treated!

@marcelias.bsky.social, the great Democratic legal fighter for democracy, on me:

"We need more people like this guy in Congress…This guy's a fighter. And he's not just saying he's a fighter, he's got the receipts, because he has gone toe-to-toe with Donald Trump and the Republicans for years now...

Why is the House not holding Bondi in contempt? Why is Oversight not holding Epstein hearings? Why is Oversight not doing more in this case?

Good Question! (1/3)

Cancel the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner The White House Correspondents Dinner shouldn't invite a president who is an enemy of free speech. Better no "Nerd Prom" than this one.

FOR THE HAVES!

Fu*k the HAVE NOTS!!

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.

The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files.

Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.

Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.

It's a disgrace.

Peter Schiff: The most likely explanation for Trump's Truth Social lies about Iran on Friday, is market manipulation. If so, Trump insiders must have made billions. The next likely possibility is that Trump is either delusional, incompetent, or a combination of both. Either way it's not good.

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

Kash is suffering from the same allergy Don, Jr. has—a hankering for even more cocaine.

Alligator Alcatraz phones were cut off. Then the beatings began, court docs say One attorney wrote in a sworn declaration that officers broke a detainee’s wrist and “pepper sprayed everyone.”

Governments that have to pick their voters to remain in power are not legitimate governments worthy of being called democratic. Politicians choosing their voters is about as undemocratic as it gets.

Trump lawyer from effort to overturn 2020 election to oversee probe of ex-CIA director, DOJ official says Joseph DiGenova, a conservative attorney, is being tapped by the U.S. Justice Department to lead an ongoing criminal investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan.

“For my friends everything; for my enemies the law.”

DOJ has become an instrument of authoritarianism. No more laments for what it was; or talk of “abuses”; or wishful thinking about how they can’t get away with it. They can, if not confronted across the board.

Reagan was like Maggie Thatcher but with the great rail system to hack away at.

I’m not a younger liberal. I remember Reagan vividly and track closely what did and the damage he facilitated. Those were the years the enemies of public service moved into the drivers seat and started the raffle.

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.

Apparently like every day.
