So Melania doesn’t share her husband’s “ immunity.” Right?? Asking for a country. …

Hillary Clinton: “You have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers”

Another by Mark Strand from The New Yorker, this one for the completist. An early version of "The Coming of Light" (one of his most celebrated poems), "Late" was never collected, and hence, has been relegated to the dustbin of literary history. Enjoy!

The declassified CIA PROJECT ARTICHOKE memo describes experiments on an unwitting subject to see if he could he induced — involuntarily, under drugs — to attempt an assassination. It concluded the subject would be “involuntary and unwitting” and raises security concerns if exposed.

New reporting from the Miami Herald on how Epstein used his power, money, & influence to “infiltrate the justice system.” I do a deep dive into this incredible article, including eyebrow-raising relationships between the prosecutors and Epstein’s criminal defense team. youtu.be/tYdj-JwxJjo?...

the elisons are going to destroy all my favorite pieces of media and cartoons and i know it seems ridiculous with everything that's happening in the world, but the prospect that these ghouls will be taking away peoples escape from the hellscape that is the current real world is making me despondent.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Trump voters signed up to kill us all because that was a better choice to them than voting for a Black woman.

Meta is updating its child safety standards as countries across the globe consider social media bans for teenagers.

Firefox remains the best browser by a country mile.

Under the guise of 'investigating' the Jeffrey Epstein scandal: Bill and Hillary Clinton are being deposed by a GOP-led panel. Donald and Melania Trump are not. Republicans aren't weaponizing the DOJ and conducting lawfare, though 🙄

Since his inauguration, President Trump’s net worth has gone up $3 BILLION. I support his call to ban members of Congress from trading stocks – but that ban must also include the president. No one should use public office to enrich themselves.

It has since I was 18, I’m now 67. I’m not leaving the country, because who tf can afford to, so why do I have to pay almost $200 for a passport? WHY?!?

Here in Oz we have absentee voting, and Mail In Voting. I actually get my jollies from in person voting so I can tell the right wing nutters to fuck off when they try to hand me Their How To Vote pamphlets. I try to be polite but I never succeed. Can't imagine why. 😁😁😁😁

My state adopted a voter ID law. The last 3 general elections where my Mom voted in person were a hassle. Only because a poll worker recognized her was she allowed to vote, having let her license expire over 15 years before she passed @ age 99 in 2020 and having a 1998 vintage passport. 2/2

Congressman Thomas Massie COURAGEOUS. LEADERSHIP.

Will the UK please show us the unredacted Epstein files? Please! It's not going to happen here.

America's gun psychopathy continues: *65* mass shootings so far in 2026. 💔😡💔 #GunsDontMakeUsSafer The latest, with 3 people killed (including the suspect), and 1 wounded, in Pahokee, Fla.: www.wpbf.com/article/dead...

Now: Per her testimony, Hillary Clinton says she has no information on Epstein's criminal activities and never recalls meeting him.

I would think the First Lady, who was a porn model and has dozens of nude and sexual photos readily available online, as well as being close friends with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, would have more information on Epstein than Hillary Clinton, no? #DeposeMelania

That’s probably gonna be too late. Just saying.

While Lauren Boebert is snapping pictures of Hillary Clinton in a closed-door deposition… This is the only photograph of a First Lady that matters when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Depose Melania.

Of course he will. The ROI is staggering. The possibility of turning the GOP full Nazi remains enticing and achievable. Elon learned not to eclipse Trump on stage and Trump learned not to thwart Musk's lucre. Co-conspirators forever.

Screwed over by letting him dismantle all the agencies that were investigating him for various crimes? Or by awarding him $38,000,000,000 in contracts and not paying taxes?

I hope someone gets these stats to Donald. They will drive him crazy. (Well, crazier.) Donald Trump’s State of the Union this week drew an audience of 28 million television viewers. Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union drew an audience of 32.2 million viewers.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

Hillary Clinton: “You have held zero public hearings, refused to allow the media to attend them, including today, despite espousing the need for transparency on dozens of occasions. You have made little effort to call the people who show up most prominently in the Epstein files.“

🇫🇷❗️ Russian drone approached the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle while it was docked in Malmö, - SVT The drone took off from a nearby Russian vessel and flew toward the carrier during its visit to Sweden for a strategic exercise. Swedish Armed Forces used EW to jam it. Drone disappeared.

Breaking on MS NOW: @alivitali.bsky.social reports the Hillary Clinton deposition has resumed, but that Clinton is asking press be allowed into the room for the rest of the deposition. Comer said NO — despite Lauren Boebert taking photos of Clinton and giving them to a far-right activist.

BREAKING: It seems we have arrived at the We Told You So part of the program

If another country suspects that Americans have drugs on their boat are they allowed to blow it up and kill everyone too, or are only we allowed to do that?

Hillary Clinton is testifying right now about her husband. When does Melania get to testify about hers 🧐😒

Austin area folks: Austin Animal Services is over capacity & needs help with foster & adopt. Additionally there is a Central Texas wide name your adoption fee event coming up, March 6-8. Please consider fostering if you can't adopt. Homes without children & pets are unicorn homes for some dogs.

JUST IN: Advisors to Hillary Clinton say the House Oversight Committee’s closed-door deposition has been paused after it was revealed that Lauren Boebert shared an unauthorized photo from the hearing with Benny Johnson, who then posted it on social media, as seen below.

Last month, Bowling ball Carr issue a Memo stated that networks must get permission from the FCC to be able to have a partisan politician (Democrats) on their programs. This is a violation of the 1st amendment. They are trying to disrupt the midterms. youtu.be/0t713o6LT00?...

What would Jesus do 🤷‍♀️

Lord have mercy. 😮😲 This is one of those Trump supporting “Christians” leaving a *very* lovely message for Bishop Talbert Swan. Jeff Beaupain from Dallas, Texas, called his church threatening to “beat the shit” out of him because he called Trump racist.

Hilary Clinton, who has never met Epstein, is being forced to testify to congress. Melania, on the other hand, isn't. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

ICYMI — BILL CLINTON: "Mr. Netanyahu has long wanted to fight Iran, because that way he can stay in office."

I can tell you one thing about these Epstein videos which I have seen unenacted in the files . The ones he is chasing girls around his kitchen, them running laughing and squealing. Is that they are not anywhere near teenagers. Some are as young as 7 not any over 9 I would say.
