Ansari: Lutnick was also asked about the fact that he had said he believed Epstein would blackmail people. He said that he no longer believes that. And then, when pressed on why that is, he said it’s because he spoke with administration officials.

Slate: It's sad when high-level American and Iranian officials make contradictory claims and the Iranians turn out to be right. US officials said they were very close to a peace deal; the Iranians denied it, and at least so far, no deal has been struck. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

“I was promised a career in diplomacy; it was just a façade,” says Svetlana Pozhidaeva. Epstein and Maxwell were manipulative predators. Ghislaine must remain jailed, and every co-conspirator must face justice. No more excuses. #Justice #EpsteinCase

WOW⚡️⚡️⚡️ Congratulations 🌈🌈🌈 #NellieBlyAward2026 #InvestigativeReporting 🌟

Of course not! The Beings✨ from other planets are not stupid enough to want anything to do with them!

Mother of 4 legally in US detained by ICE for 6 weeks. "When the door locks, you become small. You start to believe that you perhaps are not equal. That you are not human." Last week, Federal Judge ordered her release stating that she was held for "no discernible reason." #TrumpsImmigrationMess

The bar is low, but this statement at least promises a fight unlike Spanberger and Virginia Democrats' posts.

The Speaker of the House in Alabama calls on the courts to “overturn the 14th Amendment.” This is the same legislative body, a court found engaged in intentional racial discrimination in drawing voting maps in the Milligan case. x.com/austinpratt_...

Virginia AG Jay Jones: "My team is carefully reviewing this unprecedented order and we are evaluating every legal pathway forward to defend the will of the people and protect the integrity of Virginia's elections."

This is the same shit he said in February of 2020. “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.” “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China.” “A woman in her late 50s, medically high-risk patient, unfortunately passed away overnight.”

Standing with everyone in TN, AL, MS, LA, FL, SC, & others in the fight to protect voting rights in the wake of last week’s devastating decision. We know there are difficult days ahead, but we must continue to organize & fight back in the courts, our communities, our legislatures, & in Congress.

Absolutely brilliant intervention in Paramount Warner deal. @freedom.press & @rsf.org taking shareholder action to scrutinize documentation on whether David Ellison plans to degrade journalism at CNN, reviewing his destruction of CBS. www.status.news/p/paramount-...

A federal appeals court panel appears likely to reject Pentagon plans to punish Sen. Mark Kelly for advising troops to disobey illegal orders, another potential victory for the rising Trump administration foe and likely 2028 presidential candidate.

Is this the next deadly virus without an intelligent leader? How many will die before the #EpsteinAdminstration wakes up and realizes they dismantled the agencies and fired all the doctors and scientists who could protect us? Y'all may want to stock up on masks and protective gear.

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

And the Supreme Court cries foul..fuck them all

Whooo-hoooo! Amen! THANK YOU⚡️ Now Judges need to go after mask for :: ⚡️🇺🇸⚡️ #MuskVoteManipulations

There’s a bizarre social consensus, somehow strongest among the elites and institutional leaders of the nation, that all this deranged behavior simply amounts to nothing - bluster and chaos sitting atop a fundamental normalcy.

FEMA’s top official said that the “vast majority” of calls were answered during the deadly Texas floods. But new data indicates that the agency failed to answer 58% of the calls, and the average wait was 61 minutes at the peak.

You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

After Missouri voters passed ballot measures to enshrine abortion rights and establish paid sick leave, GOP state legislators overturned them. Now voters may have to pass another referendum just to protect the progress they've made. The GOP's contempt for democracy is absurd.

Best statement on SCOTUS I’ve seen.

SEN. SARA KYLE: “This is the most important vote we will ever take. We know where we stand - we stand on the right side of history. This IS about race.” #Memphis #JimCrow @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn @SenJohnson
