JUST A REMINDER…👇 THE EPSTEIN FILES WERE LEGALLY SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED OVER 5 MONTHS AGO… AND YET, NO ARRESTS!

Testify at a Senate hearing today, Todd Blanche told Senator Chris Van Hollen he's met with Epstein survivors and their lawyers. Within hours, 18 Epstein survivors released a joint statement contradicting AAG Todd Blanche's testimony, directly accusing him of making false claims. I believe them.

NEW: Epstein survivor Annie Farmer about Todd Blanche testimony about wanting to hear from Epstein survivors: "Blanche’s suggestion that survivors reach out to the Dept of Justice to re-report the crimes committed against them is beyond insulting. Many of us have already done that, repeatedly"

Breaking news: Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) lost his primary to a challenger backed by President Trump, the latest casualty in Trump’s efforts to exile his critics from the GOP. The race drew more than $32 million in ad spending.

When did INSIDER TRADING become legal? It used to be a Federal crime with up to 25 years in prison. Mike Johnson said he needs to trade on inside information to pay his bills, like every other person in Congress. Law breaking Speaker of the House, third in line for the Presidency. CREEPY.

He Should Be Arrested Immediately For a Lot of Reasons….

A president's trading of securities for his personal account can in no way be argued to constitute activity that falls within the "outer perimeter" of his "official responsibilities." www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...

“Maybe later they’ll go to the drive-in together,” he hopes.

You're about to see headlines saying abortion pills can't be shipped. THAT IS NOT TRUE You can still get abortion pills by mail to all fifty states. Some providers will switch to miso-only, some will ship both mife & miso. I got into all of this when the federal court ruling first dropped:

Women's pathways into the justice system largely differ from those of men, often driven by what CCJ Policy Dir. Stephanie Kennedy described to @rlswrites.bsky.social for @nytopinion.nytimes.com as "crimes of survival." Can HI's first-of-its-kind Women's Court set an example for courts nationwide?

“Jeffrey Epstein was under house arrest for the molestation of underage girls at the exact time he was abusing me,” she told lawmakers.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) defended his decision to suspend his state’s ongoing primary election to redraw the congressional maps, even after 45,000 ballots had already been cast, saying that discarding those votes was “not a big” deal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This year has been so insane that I haven’t painted in probably 5 or 6 months, but whew! It felt good to get back in my art room tonight. I wanted to try something tonal & mono-colored. Glad I tried it; probably won’t do it again.

If he wasn’t president, he’d be in prison.. Treason and corruption

In Opinion After the Virginia Supreme Court overturned a state redistricting vote, “the correct response is to fight back in the name of the people, who made their choice in a free and fair contest,” Jamelle Bouie writes. “Democrats must meet the moment. Or move over for people who will.”

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

A must-read thread 🧵

Cool. Now do Epstein.

this is really heartwarming. two men exchanging symbolic tokens of things the other has no interest in (football, peace)

In Opinion The Pentagon’s $25 billion estimate for the cost of the war in Iran “gets a lot of attention, but it’s more of a headline than a real number,” the economist Justin Wolfers writes. “My math suggests the Iran war will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and very possibly trillions.”

In a case that revealed the inner workings of DOGE, a federal judge ruled that the agency did not have the authority to cancel National Endowment for the Humanities grants, which made up more than $100 million in congressionally appropriated funds.

horrible. this country’s turn away from science based medicine in the name of “wellness” is killing children and will kill a lot more. www.propublica.org/article/more...

having the opportunity to feign surprise and drop this line would give me a kind of high no drug could reproduce

The United States now has the most government restrictions on academic freedom of any high-income country. www.chemistryworld.com/news/academi... Raw data from @vdeminstitute.bsky.social —> academic-freedom-index.net/research/Aca...

Hearing the head of the WHCA—who just days ago participated in a Paramount dinner “honoring” Trump— say tonight that the First Amendment is “fragile” because of a random shooter rather than because of the president sitting next to her on the podium is, I guess, exactly as pathetic as you’d expect.

Perhaps an opportune time for this to be released, on the heels of yet another mass shooting in America… www.instagram.com/reel/DXc9LhZ...

How does James Comer have Hillary testify but not Melania?

Wait a minute. ONLY 50? Is this a joke? Every one should. Every single one. They're horrible at this truly. And yes I could do it much better.

It’s TACO Tuesday!

The American people stand with the people of Iran.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

This is what a domestic terrorist looks like. He is guilty of vanity mass murder as well as treason.

The fact that this went out and Congress hasn’t immediately convened for an emergency session show just how much trouble we’re in.

Remember when Dan Quayle misspelled a word and it was the end of his political career?

Meanwhile Prof Tim Snyder is also issuing warnings about the same.

This is proof that sometimes you never know how good things can get, and even then, they can sometimes get even better. 13/10 for all (TT: matiastapia2409)

Killing people. Not just Renee Good & Alex Pretti.

The world is looking at us with great unease.

Trump closed the investigation of the guy that allegedly attempted to assassinate him… Let that shit sink in for a minute. Still think it wasn’t staged?!
