It seems like Republicans are really not very good at identifying bad guys.

Man, how mad do you think Savannah Guthrie is right now?

Even by John Oliver's high standards, this was a great segment. Factual. Informative. And delivered with his signature "I don't give a f*** about your power or wealth" attitude.

Epstein stashed massive quantities of data, including thousands of discs with photos and videos and even entire computer, in storage units he rented across the USA. Was this his "insurance policy"? Now that the news is out, will the FBI investigate or rush to conceal the evidence?

"A new report reveals that Epstein rented at least six storage units across the U.S. between 2003 and 2019, where he stored computers, CDs, photographs, and other equipment removed from his properties...Authorities may never have searched these storage units..." open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Dave Whamond nails it.

To be totally clear—as I point out in the piece—this indicates the DOJ wanted this woman to help them in a child sex trafficking criminal investigation or prosecution against Donald Trump. They took her seriously.

Amid all the MAGA lying about voter fraud, there are some genuine instances. The reason you don't hear about them is that they involve MAGA activists trying to steal elections. Elon Musk, for example, sent pre-completed absentee ballots to thousands of Georgians. That's illegal under Georgia law.

Scoop: Sen. Richard Blumenthal has written a letter to David Ellison demanding answers and records pertaining to Stephen Colbert's claim of FCC censorship. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/stephen-co...

Just a reminder that every time Bondi, Trump, or any tame media figures try to tell you that "there is no evidence that Trump was involved in Epstein's crimes," THEY ARE LYING. Here's one of several sworn affidavits naming Trump. The full court record is at www.courtlistener.com/docket/41544...

New reports reveal that an army of 18,784 bots artificially boosted Nicki Minaj's recent X posts praising Donald Trump and JD Vance. The fake profiles made 31,701 comments on her posts.

The perfect explanation on why RFK Jr's demand that all updated vaccines be tested via blind placebo studies is completely immoral.

Dr. Simpson nails the issue. RFK Jr's demand that all vaccines be tested against placebos reflects a complete disregard for medical ethics. Following the horrors of "Untreated Syphilis Study" at Tuskegee, researches NEVER deny care to study participants. It is immoral to do so, or to suggest it.

Oh dear! Bari must be so disappointed. Her favorite pedo had to go

A significant number of Americans think that being racist should be free speech but calling someone racist should not be.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court three-judge panel DENIES republican motion for a preliminary injunction to block Utah's new congressional map from going in to effect. The new map will stand for the 2026 midterms. Democrats will likely gain 1 seat! www.democracydocket.com/cases/utah-c...

What is this like from history?

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half-staff in honor and remembrance of the Reverend Jesse Jackson. He spent his life pushing America to live up to its highest ideals and his fight for civil rights, dignity, and fairness will inspire generations to come.

Yeahhhhhsssss!! THIS!

WIRED just reached out for comment on the UCLA professor we now know has a history of correspondence with Epstein—professor still has his job. WIRED is contacting me because people keep comparing and contrasting the way UCLA put me on immediate leave and fired me over posts about Charlie Kirk. SMH.

Maybe it’s just me, but convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell actively blocking the release of tens of thousands of Epstein documents whilst bribe for hire Pam Bondi continues to hide millions of Epstein files looks like a massive cover up to protect the orange felon.

DO NOT RISK IT! Do not wait until the end. Drop off your filled ballot at the SOE or drop box. The USPS can no longer be trusted

Who wants to see Zorro ranch investigations start before the midterms? Odds? #TrumpSteinFiles

It took me 8 minutes to fix all the autocorrects.

Portugal’s dictator Salazar was quietly replaced after a 1968 stroke. When he woke up, aides never told him. They staged fake briefings and newspapers for two years - an entire fake government. He died thinking he was still PM. There’s precedent is all I’m saying.

Oh nothing. Just the government registering names of Jewish professors, students, and staff. To protect them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Oh nooooes! How will our ‘homeland’ - the thing we definitely all call it - be safe without its masked and unaccountable paramilitary force?!?!

You mean children. Children bear the burden.

As a trans woman I see the same vaccine-free ideology that exposes children to dangerous and preventable diseases also pushing the notion that life-saving trans healthcare for kids is a terrible scourge. It’s not about health, it’s the obsessive need for control even if it harms their own kids.

Attention fellow Gen Xers. Get your shingles vaccine. You might have mild symptoms for a bit (I had none) but shingles can last 2-4 WEEKS of intense pain and lead to long-lasting nerve pain and even blindness. As an added bonus, the shingle vaccine seems to protect against dementia.

It’s bizarre that there’s been no attempt at consensus building for military force in Iran. If you’re old enough, you remember the intense campaign for an invasion of Iraq. We had Colin Powell go to the UN, NY Times, and pols of both parties pushing us to war. Now? Nothing. They’re just gonna do it.

Shoutout to the man who pulled up in his car next to me at a light when I was riding my bike, rolled down his window and said, ‘You look like a movie star! You look like a million bucks!’ Then drove away never to be seen again like some divine spirit sent to sooth the soul of middle-aged women.

Teachers in the San Francisco Unified School District where my son goes to school are on strike for the first time since 1979! It’s wild how disruptive a school strike is. Can’t imagine what the teachers are going through! Full support to all teachers. I hope it’s resolved in their favor soon. ✊🏼

It’s barely reported but what we are doing with our DISH (Defence innovation secure hubs) and the BOREALIS programs fashioned after US DARPA is remarkable. The fact it’s interoperable with NATO’s DIANA and not DARPA is telling. We are going with Saab, we might even build most of our subs.

“The sadness is a part of connecting with her,” Hallie Scruggs’ dad, Chad, shared in All The Empty Rooms. Hallie was just 9 years old when she was shot and killed during The Covenant School shooting in Nashville, Tennessee in 2023.

Cons. Just wasting time and taxpayer money, making shit up. If you want to do something relevant w/healthcare, launch an investigation into Con premiers privatizing healthcare for kickbacks, or allowing Cdns to be charged for things like bloodlabs. Obviously, start with Ford and Smith

Wow. A Democrat running in the primary to take on Mike Lawler (in a district Harris won) says that while voters have appreciated her going to the West Bank to learn more about Israel's occupation of Palestine — and honestly identifying it as "apartheid" — party officials are now attacking her:
