Once again Mehdi is spot on:

Having flashbacks to Trump’s 2021 demand that a state official “find” missing votes, because the numbers weren’t in his favor. This is what he expects of the BLS commissioner too: “find” missing jobs. He will try to appoint someone who does this bidding, unless GOP senators miraculously grow spines

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Second, as expected, there were very few witnesses presented to grand jury - 1 witness for Epstein; 2 for Maxwell.⤵️ Shows once again, the grand jury transcript requests are a complete distraction. Transcripts contain very little information compared to the full Epstein file. The gig is up.

How’s it going to work when Boasberg finds Bove ordered planes to land “no matter what,” ie disobey the court?

Wait a sec. Last year NYC had 171 firearms deaths on a population of 8.3 million. Louisiana had 1,266 deaths on a pop of 4.6 million, which is on the order of 12 times as many. You are twelve times as likely to be killed by a bullet in Louisiana than in NYC.

OK’s MAGA schools’ chief Ryan Walters says the porn playing on his screen during a state board meeting was not his porn.

@denisedwheeler.bsky.social Hey, I had a thought on “Trump lecturing on legality is like Charles Manson lecturing on morality” Trump posted on Truth Social today, casting Obama as OJ…. “Trump lecturing on legality is like OJ lecturing on the proper use of cutlery”? 😎 Include Trump’s TS post…

This thread contains excerpts from the government’s June 2022 sentencing memorandum in 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖 𝙫. 𝙂𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙭𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡, No. 20 Cr. 330 (S.D.N.Y.).

Trump's goal is to imprison important Democrats, no matter what it takes. Ghislaine Maxwell is a means to that. Absolutely guarantee.

@ericswalwell.bsky.social OK, Eric, dude, I’m Dem, I love everything you’re doing. But you gotta eliminate ambiguity from your posts…. “Republicans sent me home to protect pedophiles….” I mean, which pedophiles are you protecting at home? 😎 You da’ man.

“‘You feel like you’ve been abducted by a gang of aggressive, violent people who are trying to manipulate you and who are lying to you. And while you are being abducted, you know that these people are capable of doing anything to you because they don’t care,’ Chavarria said.”

David Pakman is onto something here. Something is not adding up...

I’ve prosecuted Trump. I’ve researched him. I’ve devoured every book and article on him. He is DESPERATE — overreacting because the WSJ articles drew blood and are almost certainly true. And now he’s botching everything. Suing WSJ? Terrible idea. Releasing Maxwell? Even worse.

Canadian tourism plummets amid hostility from Trump -- 28% fewer Canadians have crossed the US border by car this year than by this point in 2024. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

2 points here: 1) There's no statute of limitations in New York for Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes (maybe also options in New Mexico and Florida). A pardon can't stop state prosecutions. 2) We just got another reason to release the Epstein files: so the public can test Maxwell's truthfulness.

The UK is rolling out the red carpet for Trump's state visit arrival.

🧵 Just remember the evidence that put Ghislaine Maxwell away for 20 years: Dozens of recording devices, computers, hard drives, and memory sticks. Flight logs, birth certificates, and floor plans of Epstein's properties.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Hey Lawrence, Great show tonight! One minor point You called Blanche “Trump’s former personal attorney” BUT HE: • Signed SDNY request (grand jury docs) as DJT personal atty • Replied “yes” at confirmation to Schiff’s question “are you still DJT’s personal atty”?

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com My GOD, Jen… What a powerful show you created tonight 😢 😡 You were really compassionate but incisive with Maria Farmer Then Ayanna Pressley… a survivor… now in contact with Maria cuz of you. Your ethics, empathy, Obama admin experience… Please, more! 👏GREAT SHOW 👏 💙💙💙💙💙

Hey guys. No more jokes. This is absolutely unhinged.

Trump knew he was in the Epstein files, per new Wall Street Journal reporting That makes our FOIA requests even more urgent The American people deserve the truth—not a government willing to refashion our democracy to shield one man from accountability No more coverups!

This is the photo that should be ringing around the world right now.

@justinwolfers.bsky.social Justin, you da’ man, respect. Japan tariffs 🤪 Nikkei and JPN automakers shares on the one hand; US exchange futures on the other. 1. WSJ global exchanges 2. JPN automakers (Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Honda) Did Mr. Japan/Toyota make fools of Orange Tangerine/GM? 🤪😎🤪

This just REEKS of corruption.

So congress going home for vacation early! Because of Epstein. Demand a town hall now, they have free time!

Thank goodness this guy isn't negotiating tariff rates.

This post is not from me but this person is imitating me by “cleverly’ using joycewhitevane — missing the c — and using all my photos. If you’d report them I’d appreciate it. They crop up all the time.

Correct

EXCLUSIVE: I have spoken with more people since my initial article on the review of the Epstein files and one thing is clear: more people had access to them because of the rushed nature of the review than previously thought. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Want some Epstein Grand Jury docs? Here they are All the testimony taken by the Grand Jury from Epstein's FL sex trafficking & child rape case, with graphic Trump details. Judge released them to the public last year on July 1, 2024.

Per my previous email…

After the Florida judge released the Epstein grand jury testimony docs last year, the US media immediately buried it and made smearing President Biden the top story every day. But the BBC refused to bury it, and confirmed the docs were new.

Tai chi moves for Jerome Powell right now are ….. …. to suggest he may…. • sue Trump for defamation • and mull aloud that he is actively considering resigning…. One day of 10% decline in equities and treasuries and Donnie the Douche will 100% FOLD Jerome > Donnie the Douche

Jeffrey Epstein shut down Congress.

Eeewwww… yuck

And Epstein?

Do you know who would know what is in the Epstein files? The lawyer who prosecuted the case. Oh, wait.👀

Keep the momentum going Let's get that cholesterol to RISE

So let me get this straight. In two days we went from “the Epstein list doesn’t exist” to “the Epstein list that certainly exists was created by Obama n such” Ya ok

People have been posting this pic because it embarrasses Donald about his connection to Jeffrey Epstein. But the other thing I like about it is Donald's cheap, drug store hair color. It's too red, too dark. Donald never had much to work with, but self-sabotaging his appearance is a long tradition.

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino has told people he is considering resigning amid a major clash between the FBI and Justice Department over the continued fallout from the release of the Jeffrey Epstein memo, several sources familiar with the matter told CNN. cnn.it/4eNSQtV

Ghislaine Maxwell was not Jeffrey Epstein’s sole enabler. So why is she the only one in prison? | Arwa Mahdawi

KEEP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN 🤣

@crampell.bsky.social Hey Catherine, that was a great lead you did on SCOTUS and POTUS tonight. And later in the segment Melissa Murray and George Conway (class action debate) was super interesting. But your first five minutes were great! Nice job.

This 🧵 is what the president posted within the last 2 hours.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?
