Several women who survived abuse by Jeffrey Epstein came together for a powerful PSA video demanding that Congress release all files on the accused sex trafficker. “While we are Epstein and Maxwell survivors, we are standing for so many victims of sexual assault and of domestic violence, as well.”

Former first lady Michelle Obama said the U.S. has “a lot of growing up to do” to be ready for a female president. “There’s still, sadly, a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman. And we saw it,” Obama said. https://wapo.st/48kepjO

The US lets military contractors operate without rules abroad. Now, they’re coming—and selling their services in the homeland.

Leaving this here. It's obvious to me what Jay is and she hasn't done a good job of hiding it:

#Sekiro is pissing me off. I'm trying to reacquire my platinum status on my favourite games after starting a new PSN account. Bloodborne, Elden Ring, even Skyrim with all its bugs still allowed me to earn 100% of trophies, but not Sekiro. Oh no. Dead dads should stay dead, right? 😠 Fkn Owl 🦉

Ideally fentanyl controls could be dealt with separately from other trade wranglings. But precedent suggests China will loosen controls on the drug again if (or when) the relationship with America deteriorates

Let’s make this arsehole famous.

The answer is not to bring more shame, the answer is to de-stigmatize needing help. Provide more robust social supports and ensure everyone has food, housing, healthcare and a living wage.

“We need to bring shame back to welfare” There’s always been shame. There shouldn’t be, but there is. It’s a dehumanizing process to apply for benefits. The world judges you, treats you like a failure and many make it clear they would rather you die.

The ideological commitment to punishing welfare recipients is a true sickness Here, the Department endorses the use of payment suspensions to get victims of domestic violence to disclose their circumstances There is a word for using punishment to extract information out of people: torture

The Department freely admits in these docs that compliance punishments hurt welfare recipients' chances of finding work - then chose to enact harsher punishments against them. Because that's the whole point of employment services - they can't play dumb on that intent anymore

This report is a masterclass of maladministration, contempt for the law, ideological malice - and plain stupidity The Department unshakably believes there are frauds in their system, but can't provide any actual evidence because they [checks notes] don't interact enough with people in the system

The Department gets cranky at social security decision makers for following the law (when determining a reasonable excuse). Here, they conclude that these LAWFUL social security decisions are "not consistent with the policy intent" of applying more penalties. Extraordinary

We also see that the Department tried to attack the “reasonable excuse” provisions, enshrined under social security law, to further reduce administrative burden for providers and government, & streamline more punishments and penalty decisions against job seekers

These docs show that the Department knew many job providers' decisions are incorrect - and complain about the administrative burden of overturning them Their solution? Give job providers new, automated powers to make harsher punishments w/ less government oversight. Legally disastrous

NEW: I have obtained, under FOI, a secret Department report that initially recommended the Targeted Compliance Framework - aka, the unlawful "mutual obligations" scheme It reveals that, like Robodebt, they recklessly built this thing to punish "entitled" frauds who never existed

Yes, but we need to understand where she got her solid gold Rolex, Birkin bag, private jets and lavish lifestyle which is not manageable on her salary or her father's modest insurance business. She's a first-class grifter.

In the USA, you can get free home delivery of groceries if you are too frightened of the secret police roaming the streets, to go outside. Freedom.

Jesse Butler raped & strangled two girls… One ended up in hospital. He managed a plea deal as a “youthful offender”. He was 17. He won’t serve time. How come Jesse avoids jail time because he’s a “kid”… yet the Epstein survivors are being reframed as women? Rape culture

Israel’s National Security Minister Ben-Gvir Displays Alleged Torture of Palestinian Prisoners Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s Minister of National Security and leader of the far-right Jewish Power (Otzma Yehudit) party, has publicly displayed what many are calling the torture of Palestinian detainees.

The GOP is all about lying and gaslighting. When they aren't raping children. Sick assholes.

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.
