Love Josh and TDS( never realized same initials as my syndrome! 😂) but those emails were released by the Epstein Estate and House Oversight Committee.

Seems like they may be willing to take Trump down, but don't want the files released to protect others implicated.

Ukraine’s General Staff confirmed strikes on Russian targets: Novorossiysk naval base was hit with Neptunes and drones, damaging port sites, the Sheskharis terminal, an S-400 launcher, and a missile depot. Saratov’s refinery and the Kristall fuel site near Engels were also hit and set ablaze.

Thousands of documents released by the House Oversight Committee offer a new glimpse into what Epstein's relationships with business executives, reporters, academics and political players looked like over a decade.

That’s the sound of far right coin being heaped up ready to make a bid.

One bit of the BBC story that needs more scrutiny - and which might be the most important - is, why did Michael Grade look at the 'report' produced by Michael Prescott and demand the BBC act rather than, as an independent regulator would have done, toss it in the bin?

During a mission near Ukraine’s northern border, a Russian FPV drone narrowly missed a group of Ukrainian special forces, saving their lives. Operators from the 2nd squad of the 4th SSO Regiment "Ranger" skillfully evaded the strike while withdrawing from their position.

“These rich, powerful old men are like 11-year-old boys talking about the crush that they have, and they're asking Jeffrey Epstein for advice about this.” @timmiller.bsky.social and Alex Wagner discuss how the Epstein emails reveal how sex, power, and insecurity warped the elite.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children. It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.
