Oh good, at least someone isn’t ignoring that this happened — as the Sunday shows and press corps say nothing. Felt like we were losing our minds.

Once upon a time, Woodward and Bernstein/Watergate made a young girl want to study journalism in graduate school and pursue it as a career. (I spent 6 years in radio news before pivoting full time to screenwriting.) I can't fathom that this is happening. That people are letting it happen.

This is what is happening right now.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting to shut down after being defunded by Congress, targeted by Trump apnews.com/article/publ...

Unreal. In yet another one of the Trump administration’s distraction tactics from their failure to release the Epstein files, they invited someone guilty of statutory rape with a 16-year-old to the White House.

Let them eat cake.

Re-up after running the clip of Bessent saying this. Privatizing SocSec through the back door is bc of the failed attempt to do it openly by (GWB's town halls). The Rs learn from their mistakes; they try again w/smarter tactics —& still tell on themselves! 🧾 crooksandliars.com/2025/07/trea...

NEW: We now know what Bove lied to Congress about according to the 3rd whistleblower. He lied when he said he didn’t offer promotions for DoJ lawyers who helped him dismiss the Eric Adams case and consequences for those who didn’t. There is audio evidence. Gift link: wapo.st/4fdVVmX

NEW: The FBI and DOJ have the original Epstein jail video, and their copy doesn't have a missing minute like the one they released to the public. They should release the missing minute. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

Sen. Ron Johnson just floated sending Obama to Guantanamo. These people aren’t trolling...they’re laying groundwork. For arrests. For show trials. For dictatorship. Don’t laugh it off. Call it what it is: fascism with a smile.

Her name was Diana. She was 23 years old and 7 months pregnant. Russia murdered her today in an attack on the maternity hospital in Kamyanske.

The NYPD officer killed by the active shooter was an immigrant from Bangladesh. He had 2 kids and a 3rd on the way. The US State Dept travel advisory for Bangladesh is level 3; “Reconsider Travel” for violence, crime and terrorism. He died here, for us, shot with a Colt M4 rifle. Think about that.

He's allowed to do anything he wants, and with impunity. He's co-opted Congress, SCOTUS, DoJ, banks, businesses, all other institutions. He's going to rename the Kennedy Center after his skank wife. I lived thru Nixon, and I've never seen anything like this.

*past McCarthyism*: understand this

“She’s worse than Epstein. She’s a monster… Epstein was Pinocchio, she was Geppetto.”

Boebert and her thug children are the lower 48 version of the Palins. Last year he got a plea deal. Had 22 charges, 4 were felonies. Now charged with child abuse. I would like any sane judge to explain how that is a misdemeanor. This punk monster-in-the making belongs in prison.

CNN put together a supercut of Pam Bondi being for releasing Epstein files before she suddenly turned against it

NEW: Nathan Albers once co-owned a company that schemed to hire and conceal undocumented workers. Now his company could make hundreds of millions from work on the nation's largest detention camp. “The irony is thick,” said a former DHS official.

Is NOBODY going to call DoJ's Todd Blanche "questioning" Ghislaine Maxwell what it actually is - WITNESS TAMPERING? Really, not one person?

We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors. Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher. Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, speaks out.

"In 2020, the government pointed to Maxwell’s 'willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct' as a reason to deny her bail. Now, with her entire life in the government’s control, it turns to her as a source of truth. Or, if not truth, a story that can help the president out of this jam."

Well yeah. Now that they have convicted sex trafficker Maxwell ready to say what they want her to say - it’s suddenly not a hoax anymore. 🙄

The Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, is meeting with a notorious sex trafficker today. Not to ensure that she pays for her many crimes, but to ensure that she lies to protect Donald Trump from his own. Law and order, y’all!

According to the WSJ, he knew he was in the files. The Attorney General helped him hide the files. He likely has already destroyed the files that implicate him. Now we need an investigation that makes Watergate look small.

💯

The deportations are about to turn into detentions. There isn’t money in deporting folks, but there is in detaining them…

Wait - @MarshaBlackburn refused to back @RonWyden’s subpoena of Epstein’s bank records, which show billions linked to sex trafficking? Has her Epstein crusade been entirely performative? Maybe local media could ask the governor wannabe about this? newrepublic.com/article/1982...

FRIEDMAN: Is it accurate that at least 80% of the calls that went to FEMA call centers on July 7 went unanswered? RICHARDSON: When the tragedy struck, ah-- F: It's a yes or not question RICHARDSON: The majority of the calls were answered at the call centers F: That's not what the report says

A whole LOT worse.

Well, golly gosh darn. www.kvoa.com/news/in-dept...

If you haven't been paying attention, Ron Wyden (D OR) has been taking no prisoners on this.

Giving this speech while adjourning the house to cover-up the Epstein files belongs on the Mount Rushmore of hypocrisy. Amazing stuff, Speaker Johnson

To be clear, this now a massive cover up involving the President, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, and the GOP Congress.

It’s every man for himself now. There’s no safety regulations
