A Tesla worker in my district was electrocuted because the company cut corners. OSHA’s fine was just $50,000. Elon Musk makes that back in nine minutes from federal contracts alone. A worker’s life is worth more than a rounding error to a billionaire.

The protective shell over Chornobyl’s 4th reactor is now at risk. After a recent drone attack, hundreds of damages have been recorded, according to plant director Serhiy Tarakanov. “Even a minor strike nearby could collapse the sarcophagus,” he warned. Full restoration may take 3-4 years.

Ukraine’s Air Force showed the upgraded Buk air defense system in action under the FrankenSAM program, combining non-standard parts into new, effective SAM systems. This version alongside Mirage 2000-5F and F-16's fighter jets helped repel Russia’s massive missile and drone attack.

Germany’s far-right AfD is under fire for using parliamentary requests to gather data potentially useful to Moscow, Politico reports. MP Ringo Mühlmann asked for details on drone defenses, infrastructure, and arms transit routes to Ukraine.

🔥SBU destroyed Russia’s only Il-38N maritime patrol aircraft over the Black Sea just before the submarine attack in Novorossiysk. The $24M plane was the only one capable of detecting underwater drones like the Sub Sea Baby en route to target. Its elimination cleared the path for a successful strike.

Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…

Just want to point out that this man was leading the whole Turning Point USA crowd in prayer last week. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Also, when your neighbors call ICE to report neighbors they dislike because they are "brown" also feels like East Germany to me.

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.

By not investigating, they not only tolerated, they enabled both CSA and the abuse of thousands of innocent girls and young women. Their inaction sends a message that sexual abuse victims are not valued."

NEW: Statement from Epstein survivor Marijke Chartouni: "When institutions like the FBI and the DOJ failed to address the claims of Maria Farmer and others that came forward after her, it feels like they too are part of the exploitation.

There's no such thing as owning too many books. There is such a thing as owning too much other furniture that blocks the space for more bookshelves, however.

CBS NEWS: “We can’t report on the current murdering spree until we get the serial killer’s side of the story.”

NEW: We’re announcing 5 new Homekey+ projects creating 267 permanent supportive homes statewide, including housing for veterans. With $636M invested and 1,800+ homes already underway, we’re expanding treatment, accountability, and stability for those who need it most.

On the Larry Nassar letter from Epstein. FBI did request handwriting analysis of it suggesting they were not convinced it was actually from Epstein. That is in the files I believe. But what is NOT available (as far as I have seen as I post this) is what the analysis found.

Those opining that it could be fake are missing the point. It was in Epstein's effects. If it's fake, it was planted by Trump officials in a way tending to obscure cause of death. If it's real, it is one of the most damning deathbed allegations ever made in American history. Either is historic.

Now that the note is publicly available, there must be an independent handwriting analysis. Chain of custody confirms it was found in Epstein's effects after being returned as undeliverable. So either it was a plant to cover up a murder, or it's a damning pre-suicide revelation.

This is the most damning yet

This victim told a driver that she couldn't report Trump raping her because "They will kill me." In 2021, another victim said that Epstein told her girls who don't behave are fed to alligators and took her where they die. He threatened to kill her and her son.

Alle maskers vallen af. De EU moet kapot, vindt Trump-trouwe Denktank. Waarom? Omdat de EU als enige nog een vuist maakt in de westerse wereld tegen de techgiganten en Amerikaanse monopoliehouders. Als dat geen schallend compliment voor de kracht van de EU is! nos.nl/l/2595747

20 State AGs have sued Russell Vought for trying to starve the CFPB of funding. Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20B to consumers. Without the Bureau, financial predators and scammers will have an easier time picking your pocket.

“Clinton is in the Epstein files!” Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know. The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

Unbelievable Pam Bondi did it again Another batch of the Epstein files was released-in which Trump was featured prominently-but the Department of Justice promptly took them down a few hours later Sure looks like Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have enough evidence to hold her in contempt

Congressman Robert Garcia explains much of what the DOJ has released was already out in the public or heavily redacted. All I want to know is, it’s Tuesday - when is Pam Bondi going to be charged with contempt⁉️ #Epstein #CoverUp

Trump: “I was never on Epstein’s plane” AUSA: “Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously reported, including during the Maxwell charging period”

Alan Dershowitz, Mr “I kept my underwear on” is not going to be happy about this. The redacted document says he negotiated the Epstein agreement in order to protect himself. More generally, Epstein’s buddies are not going to be happy, as there seems to be a way to see behind the redactions …

Well, they didn't remove this... oopsie

Wow! Letter from Epstein to a convicted sex offender Larry Nassar right before Epstein’s death. This was in the files the DOJ released last night and then removed from their site.

Judge, jury, executioner. The Constitution bans these from being in one person, but … apnews.com/article/trum...

“Will no one rid me of this turbulent press?”

Among the newly-released Epstein files. This Justice Dept email from Jan 2020 'I wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported"

Still good people in this crazy world.

It’s going to get so much worse for him. The key now is that this kind of thing needs to break through into right wing media.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

It's sickening knowing that there are corrupt FBI agents who are taking part in this pedo protection racket.

The U.S. military just announced another strike on a boat it claims was smuggling drugs near Venezuela, again without evidence. One more person dead. Over 100 killed so far. Trump also threatened the president of Colombia.

Julie has been covering this longer than most. The DOJ is not following the law. #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

All I’m saying is that if Kamala Harris had won, we could afford groceries and health insurance, we wouldn’t be arresting people simply because they’re Black or Brown, and we wouldn’t be doing batcrap crazy stuff like threatening Greenland

I'm not saying it would have been easy for the "60 Minutes" producer to walk away. I've quit jobs based on principle and I know it isn't easy. There's the impulse to accept each new outrage and tell yourself you're staying to help protect your colleagues. But ultimately, you have to say "no more."

Like it or not, what Trump says or does while US president represents you as a whole, an entire country, an entire people, whether you voted for him or not, protest him or not, he is your legal and international face, and YES that should piss you the fuck off. It is possible for you to be angrier.

"It’s clear that the president considers the rules-based democratic and economic order a barrier to his goal of establishing an autocracy. Given his dictatorial ambitions, it makes perfect sense for his regime to cozy up to strongmen while treating America’s principal democratic allies as enemies."

Garcia: First, let’s be very honest about what’s happening. This is a White House cover-up. They are now involved in an illegal cover-up of the Epstein files. They’re defying Congress. They’re defying their own base. They’re lying to the American people.

On left: Bari Weiss: 60 Minutes segment failed to show Government view that CECOT detainees are due judicial review On right: Judge Boasberg Dec 22: "The Government itself has not even contested that the detainees who now make up the CECOT class received inadequate process prior to their removal"

A member of the Kennedy Center board has sued President Donald Trump to force the removal of his name from the performing arts venue’s facade.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

"As retired Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery told The Wall Street Journal, the Golden Fleet plan is “exactly what we don’t need”—but, he added, no one is focused on America’s maritime needs, because 'they are focused on the president’s visual that a battleship is a cool-looking ship.'” 🙄

Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNOW show has 2 Epstein survivors blasting DOJ for failing to properly redact names, leaving some survivors‘ identities newly revealed. They suspect DOJ’s top priority is to protect other people — not the survivors. “We’re being re-traumatized by our government.”
