here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

JD Vance: "Wouldn't you rather lead a movement of freethinkers who sometimes disagree than a bunch of drones who take their orders from George Soros?"

Completely unacceptable. Kaine is signaling impunity for Trump’s lawbreaking. We cannot have this view taking hold among Senate Democrats.

It’s interesting watching the news media fumble the “release” of the Trump-Epstein Files. Basically they report that: -DOJ released the files (untrue, misleading at best) -They’re “heavily redacted” (small mention) -Details of what IS visible, ie “Clinton” (a distraction from the real story)

There have been 833 games featuring an FBS team this year ... At least 9 points have been scored in all of them (San Diego State beat NIU 6-3 in Week 5) 13 minutes to glory here

The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.

The only hint in the CNN report that someone may have beat them to the story by nine months is a reference to Patriot Front founder Thomas Rousseau disputing "local media coverage." Here would have been an opportunity for CNN to credit our reporting, but no.... 3/

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

We've worked so hard for this moment since saving his life. I could punch the air I am so happy. Prepare to have a huge grin on your face!! Look at Stormzy go!

Crazy how the executive branch goes “if we can’t break the law it’s irreparable harm to our lawbreaking,” 6 Supreme Court Justices go “yeah sure,” often with no further explanation, and 3 are left doing an eloquent version of “but checks and balances, duly passed statute, what are we doing here.”

Made cardboard tunnels for our dog. Taped several boxes together. The maze including a tray for a Scooby snack and a hole where dog can retrieve said snack. Eye holes don’t align and where for added silliness. Worked great and was fun for everyone. Each time I dropped in a treat the tong appeared

As a kid, I visited my dad in the hospital before he died of pancreatic cancer. Three years ago, I held my husband’s hand as he died of pancreatic cancer. People are doing the same right now all over the country. F#ck RFK jr and the ignoramus running the NIH.

Striking stat from @kellycnbc.bsky.social on this: The rise in treasury yields since Trump’s tariffs were announced leads to an increase in US debt interest payments that is larger than all the DOGE savings.

Don’t let Congress hand private actors an internet kill switch. Stop site-blocking bills.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Today's phrase: punctuated equilibrium. It refers to the fact that evolutionary change doesn't happen slowly at a constant rate, but has periods of great change interspersed with periods of apparent stability. We're seeing this kind of change in the US now. Things are changing in a big way.
