Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

😬

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

If you're a staffer at 60 Minutes who worked on that CECOT segment that got yanked by Bari Weiss at the last minute, figure out a way to leak it. Not saying it's an easy decision or there won't be consequences, but ask yourself why you got into journalism in the first place.

Read this:

In an internal email, 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi said new editor in chief Bari Weiss had “spiked” the story and said the government was using silence to “VETO” stories.

60 Minutes, dead at 57. The murder weapon was Bari Weiss.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

BLESSED YULE AND HAPPY SOLSTICE TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE 🌲🕯️🌟 THE SUN IS GONNA COME BACK

It is frankly amazing no one has leaked the entire Epstein files yet.

RIP WARRIOR QUEEN VIRGINIA GUIFFRE TRUMP IS SCUM WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN RAPE TAPES???

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

One thing worth remembering as all of this Epstein stuff roils is that we know of multiple occasions in which women were paid to keep them from talking about having sex with Trump.

IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right: Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unions—they deserve respect and protection. America’s unions will keep fighting for them.

Wow

The Kennedy Center was given its name by an act of Congress after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Pretty sure its current board, which includes revered fine arts dignitaries like Laura Ingraham, Pamela Jo Bondi, Maria Bartiromo, and Lee Greenwood, can't undo that law.

Fact checking Trump is a joke. Why not just report the true statements? Oh, nothing to talk about.

BREAKING: The Department of Justice is racing to redact the Epstein files before its release Friday, per CNN. THATS AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE, ARREST AND IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP!

While exercising her legal right to film an immigration enforcement action, a Chicago woman says a federal agent held her at gunpoint.

Phang: If Maxwell is so worried about the grand jury records coming out, can you imagine the treasure trove of information against Maxwell, Epstein, and others that’s being held in the total Epstein files?

Very sobering. A must read.

It’s so weird living your life knowing that if you die in the next week, ‘tripped on cat’ would likely be the cause 😹☠️

Glory to Ukraine!

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Sad that Rob Reiner and his wife are no longer with us, and that malignant narcissist and pedophile in DC is.

So sad that such a talented man who brought a lot of joy is no longer with us. Thank you to Rob Reiner for making some lovely films!

Big announcement from Gov. Newsom:

Scump’s disgusting and reprehensible post regarding the sad and tragic death of Mr and Mrs Reiner is not surprising. What is surprising is it seems to have finally broken the spell on some MAGAts and evangelicals—that haven’t been swayed by all the other vile things Scump’s done before yesterday.

Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

That's hard to hear. 😭

An incredible list. Losing Rob Reiner is a tragedy on so many levels. #RIP

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

So happy to hear on @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social engaging Senator Alex Padilla after today's ruling this was illegal! Fuck Fascism! youtu.be/6FaBinmq3Kk

If you’re running for Congress, maybe talk about passing a bill to refund everyone the difference in their health premiums for 2026 if republicans fail to pass ACA subsidy extensions.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

The Trump regime is trying to normalize misogyny. Unfortunately, it’s too many people in this country that don’t have the balls to stand up against him. This pattern of abuse is only going to get worse folks! What is it going to take⁉️

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.

MAGA is dying along with its dear leader.

Release the Epstein files. Lock up war criminals.

“OK, you can gerrymander to cheat in elections, but only if it hurts nonwhite voters.” - US Supreme Court

Is the orange criminal dead yet?

CARTOON OF THE DAY

The issue about killing the last 2 survivors is secondary: Trump and Hegseth have ordered *83* murders, not 2. None of these people were ‘enemy combatants’. They were suspected drug smugglers until proven to be guilty in a fair trial. Without that, they were murdered. That is all. 🙄🇺🇸🙄

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.
