“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”

I still maintain the single worst change Elon made in terms of pure user experience was updating replies to favor the people willing to pay for the blue checks instantly - overnight - reply sections changed from a font of creative riffing to a barren wasteland of the worst posts imaginable

You FUCKED UP, your LEFTY politics have ALIENATED the BILLIONAIRES who run the CHILD BONE EXTRACTION FACTORIES and now they will do a MASS EXODUS from your STATE or CITY. Don’t CRY to ME when you no longer see their CHILD CATCHING VANS in your STATE or CITY, YOU IDIOT

They will never give up this idea that people yearn for moderate losers who bend the knee to all of the industries and interests that are currently destroying the planet.

You wanna know why the dems didnt drop that autopsy on 2024? Because it didnt tell them what they, and their biggest donors, want to hear. The Israel lobby, health insurance, pharmaceuticals, real estate, want certain results. We'll be back here asking why everyone hates dems in less than 4 years

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

I say that as someone who has started newsrooms from scratch sometimes with two people - if you’re doing your job correctly you will need a lawyer because the first thing rich people do when you write something they don’t like is threaten you legally. It’s cheap for them and expensive for you

"Hysteria" "alarmism" "[so-and-so] derangement syndrome" etc. are synonyms for the centrist orthodoxy of "this is normal and you're overreacting" that brought us to this

Any investigative materials, tips, or raw correspondence that post-date Epstein's 2019 arrest and especially after his death should be taken with a grain of salt. Conversely, stuff that predates Epstein's 2006 arrest is probably reliable

I don't understand any rhyme or reason to the organization or provenance of the various tranches of Epstein Files, but they clearly contain tons of raw investigative materials of dubious reliability/value and—at the risk of being a huge buzzkill—we all should exercise some careful discernment

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV. There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

WASHINGTON (AP) — At least 16 files from Epstein release disappeared from DOJ webpage, including photo of Trump, with no explanation.

Society will not be fixed until the billionaires fear everyone so much that they look at having their wealth confiscated as their best option

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

The day before Trump announces he’s nominating Bill Barr for Attorney General, Jeffrey Epstein emails Steve Bannon: “do you know bill barr. CIA.” The official story is that Barr only worked for the CIA briefly way back in the 1970s.

One explanation for economic populism in the US is the recurring cycle of bubbles and bailouts that happens without any democratic input

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

Massie was crucial to forging the Epstein bill coalition. What he's saying here -- that Epstein had CIA and Mossad ties -- is supported by reporting, notably the excellent series at Drop Site on Epstein's as an international power broker. The mainstream media has almost entirely ignored this topic.

The Jeffrey Esptein scandal the main stream press is ignoring; he was a major player in American foreign policy with deep ties to Israel and other satrapies: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

the child sex predators who run the country and shape our society around protecting each other? that's who the senate dems surrendered to rather than standing with their base

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Just by sheer chance we are always exactly one vote short of doing good stuff, and one vote over the line to do bad stuff.

this is literally never not accurate

If I give the bully my lunch money every day eventually he will die of old age

he's just proved you can steamroll your way through shit that virtually everyone agrees fucking sucks. he's literally razing the institutions. there's fertile ground for a new order literally there to be tilled. "lets calibrate a new bland bipartisanship" is like a message from a lost civilization

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over? Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen. www.ft.com/content/4855...

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

A spokesperson for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott argued his office’s emails with Elon Musk are confidential under a “common-law privacy” exception to public records laws because they may include “intimate and embarrassing” information. (Published July) With @kutnews.bsky.social @texastribune.org

Something hysterically funny about pointing out how lib winemoms have become radicalized into having more radical politics than the centrist cohort you belong to and chalking that up to a W against the left

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com With his cryptocurrency venture, “Trump has created a powerful vehicle for those seeking influence. Anyone — you, me, an Emirati prince — can put money in his pocket by simply buying the tokens the company issues,” Jacob Silverman writes.

Of course he did. When did people know this, and why is it news now, rather than previously, given its unlikely nobody knew about this.

Have a piece today in TEEN VOGUE from my new book POLICE AGAINST THE MOVEMENT detailing how the NYPD, LAPD, cops in Chicago and Memphis surveilled the civil rights movement—and then destroyed millions of surveillance files in the ‘70s, including ones that may have shed like on MLK’s assassination.

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela. Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless warmongering. It failed 48-51. Murkowski and Paul voted yes. Fetterman voted no.
