I emailed the reporters and editors yesterday afternoon. Got a prompt response saying they were looking at it—and have heard nothing since. Is @theguardian.com just waiting to fix their non-exclusive exclusive until no one is looking? I am not letting this go.

#NJ11 update: New Jersey counted roughly 2,000 ballots today, and Analilia Mejia increased hear lead over Tom Malinowski from 0.8% to 1.1% (that's roughly +474 to +676).

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

Listen to @bloodwork.show

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Mount Rushmore is so stupid that I actually support this. Put a Bored Ape up there, who cares

Today they threatened to arrest all of the neighbors who came out and watched 20 agents struggle to change a flat tire for “impeding a federal investigation.” These are just clowns and they absolutely know it.

Everything’s Antifa when you don’t know how to read.

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it. What? x.com/sethharpesq/...

@davidsirota.com eh, might want to advance the start on this YouTube video a few frames bsky.app/profile/leve...

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked. When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

AP still going with “fragile ceasefire” on a day Israel killed 24 more Palestinians, including at least five children, seven women & an on-duty paramedic (& by the way, just because the other 11 were men, doesn’t mean their deaths were somehow ok). @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

This happens with*everything* now. No matter how grave the crime or one-dimensional the injustice, after four days the hivemind of American punditry decides that the Real Story is how the people upset about it are the real villains.

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

both need to prove they can turn a profit huh

how can we suffer these people to live among us, let alone purport to rule us? they're not just our enemies. they're an affront to the human experiment. they're hostile to all life not their own. they'd burn any number of us alive to avoid even a moment of mild discomfort. hideous

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Philidelphia DA Larry Krasner warns ICE: If an agent commits crimes in Philly, I will charge you. You will be arrested. You will stand trial, and you will be convicted in state or federal court and you will do your time. Donald Trump can't pardon you for a state court conviction.

It’s important to realize that the subtext of Trump freaking out at Kaitlan Collins when she asks him what he’d say to the Epstein survivors is that she may in practice be asking what he’d say to the *Trump* survivors, and they both know that. A well worded question

They just blindly shot through the fucking door. "Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

Dear US Stock Holders: you should buy $20 billion of our stock so that we can capture $300 billion of revenue, we need at least $130 billion more to do this, and we’re raising this money so that one customer can pay us $300bn, which they will do by raising debt and equity. bsky.app/profile/outs...

Stephen Miller: [30 days from now] Look, the president shits himself in most meetings. The president shits where he wants. You people in the media, you're so obsessed with who shit whose pants, and by the time you're done figuring it out, we'll be shitting in a thousand different pairs of pants.

🚨 Documents leaked to me reveal a federal watchlist of American protesters suspected of being Antifa - including its supposed leader. One Department of Homeland Security document says a 29-year-old resident of Portland "is the leader of Antifa": www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-ident...

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

When even our opposition party fights to make sure we pay for an occupation to do this to civilians abroad, can we really expect them to save people from occupation here?

Schumer saying yesterday, as he has said publicly for at least a decade, that his job is to keep military aid flowing to Israel:

Elsewhere in this conversation, Ehud Barak & Epstein talk about Barak forming a partnership w/ fmr. CIA Director Leon Panetta, top CIA official Jeremy Bash (ex-husband of Dana Bash) & Israeli intel official Yoni Koren (whom we reported stayed at Epstein's NY place multiple times). Barak says he...

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

“The aroma of infatuation, the perfume of the forbidden…DOJ is proud to unveil its new signature Jeffrey Epstein fragrance, Crave by Jeff,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said at a press conference

love all eras of this show and very grateful to Joel for creating this oasis for me from the insanity of the real world..but I first saw MST3K as a kid with Mike and Mary Jo, later on Bill - and really excited to see my favorite era resurrected

hell yeah

Catherine O’Hara knocking it out of the park as Eydie Gormé: the early days of SCTV were lethally precise, laser-guided comedy, they couldn’t be quite this mean once they were on NBC youtu.be/MaDX90NV--c

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

Oh is that right? Is that right???? www.wheresyoured.at/the-enshitti...

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

Epstein asks Barak to say he isn’t Mossad… and adds a smiley emoji

The all-time comedy murderer's row.

Catherine O'Hara was tremendous. She could do anything. Go watch A MIGHTY WIND and see her pull off being effortlessly funny and unselfaware, a near-impossible thing to project onscreen, before she turns around and melts your heart. What a loss, man.

Catherine O’Hara wardrobe polaroids from Second City, 1983. RIP an absolute legend & icon💔
