If you know me at all - here, elsewhere, or irl - you know how important I believe it is to understand history. That it’s being perverted in this way and for this reason is obscene.
New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.
Kristi Noem must resign now.
Amazing, @kairyssdal.bsky.social
Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress.
But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway.
Details in my new piece:

These are lies
It's all in how they phrase it.
NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.
She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.
is this bad
PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015.
THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
The Senate Majority leader is lying
Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"
Oh roads unfold nearly made me snort coffee up my nose…
Now I’m imagining Blake with GPS….
The CBO director, Philip Swagel, is a former Bush political appointee and was reappointed in July 2023 by the leaders of both houses of Congress, including Speaker McCarthy.

You have put into words what so many of us are feeling right now, @kairyssdal.bsky.social
We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.
The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as *Air Force One*
Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.
*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.
Key point that doesn’t get enough attention - tariffs are deeply regressive
Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."
Truth, right here…👇
Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.
This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.
Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
See how this works?
I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.
Popok: This is not just about Abrego Garcia—and they’re right. It’s not about whether he is or isn’t MS-13.
This is about the rule of law and our co-equal branches of government.
This is about greater principles.
This.
The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid.
“It’s really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable…who need technologies to live.”
The way they are exploiting this woman’s suffering to try to justify sending a random guy to an El Salvadoran gulag is truly sick
Exactly, it’s “rule of law” vs vibes
