Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

The most corrupt president in history:

Pedro Pascal dressed up as Din Djarin and surprised fans at Disneyland! #TheMandalorianAndGrogu

@tommorelloofficial.bsky.social out there doing what needs to be done with his influence and popularity. Where are the others? I know there are others out there, but not enough of them! @taylorSwift where are you and Travis? You want to make a real difference in the world, start speaking out!

Markwayne Mullin is just as crazy and drunk on power as Noem was. Case in point: DHS Is Stepping Up Its Intimidation Campaign Against a Federal Judge | TNR newrepublic.com/post/210476/...

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

In a cowardly move that he waited until late on Friday afternoon to announce, Colorado’s Democratic governor is commuting the sentence of a Trump ally who was convicted for tampering with election equipment as part of Trump’s Big Lie. This is a stunning betrayal of our democracy.

For the umpteenth time: The most corrupt president in American history.

They had contracts for prison labor at these camps?? Before they even bought them? www.projectsaltbox.com/p/contracts-...

Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk, 38, from Seattle, was filmed throwing a large rock at a Hawaiian monk seal. When confronted, he said, “I’m rich. I can pay the fines.” He was arrested and faces up to two years in prison and $70K in fines. people.com/man-charged-...

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

Rep. Patty Murray: "We need serious leadership at the FBI that the American people can trust…If you want to pass out liquor or pop bottles in a locker room, stick to podcasting. Leave law and order to people who really do care about justice."

It's not just that the FBI director is acting like a spoiled child; he keeps repeating the dumb lie that Van Hollen was "drinking margaritas with a felon" when he visited Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As a reminder, it was a stunt from the El Salvador regime, who put sugar-rimmed glasses on the table.

The first honest thing he’s said

Pentagon Comptroller Jay Hurst said the estimate increased “because of updated repair and replacement of equipment cost and also just general operational cost.”

Rod Stewart to King Charles on his visit with Trump: “Hello, sir. May I say well done in the Americas. You were superb. Absolutely superb. You put that little rat bag in his place.”

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

I was supposed to volunteer with Dane County Humane Society & @beaglefreedom.bsky.social to rescue the remaining beagles at Ridglan Farms. However, their attorney told me that I wasn’t welcome on their property.

Wow. This NYC pop up is 🔥 The Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is open as a public installation displaying all 3.5 million pages of the released and partially redacted Epstein files, printed and bound into 3,437 volumes. This shouldn’t just stay in NYC. Take it on the road.

"An ICE takedown caught on camera left a 19-year-old bleeding and requiring stitches to his head. Cellphone video showed the teen get tackled by agents. Once they figured out they had made a mistake, they dropped him off at a park, bloody and bruised..." www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d...

All hail the legend that is @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Trump claimed it would cost $1.8 million to paint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue. The Interior Department then moved to pay a Virginia firm called Atlantic Industrial Coatings $13.1 million for the job a 628% increase over Trump’s stated figure.

These two things are completely unrelated, so don’t even think of trying to make a connection between them

I’m not saying the person on the right deserves the same fate as the person on the left, but maybe you are?

Chicago teen battling terminal cancer dies hours after reuniting with parents An 18-year-old Chicago resident battling terminal cancer has died, just one day after being reunited with his parents following their release from U.S. immigration custody.

Protesters staged noise demo through the rich Seattle neighborhood of #Laurelhurst that lobbied against noisy helicopters flying sick and injured kids over their mansions to Children's Hospital. 🤪 It got a bit noisy.

How it’s going How it’s going to go

While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.

REP. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “This isn't coincidental or accidental. We're seeing the greatest purge of Black power since the era of Reconstruction.” (H/T @motherjones.com ) #Memphis #JimCrow @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

And where is the outrage from mainstream media outlets over this? Crickets. 🦗

The Institute for Primary Facts has compiled more than 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files for public display at the newly opened Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room.

Pete Buttigieg took a brief leave when his son was in the ICU and Republicans still attack him for it to this day. But Duffy goes on an extended vacation to shoot a reality show while there are all sorts of pressing problems with air travel and Fox News thinks it's awesome. Beyond parody.

Don't worry, the transportation secretary was on faux news focusing on promoting his new series about his 7 month long family vacation around the US being generously paid for by the tax payers. #Fuckyouduffy

This administration is nothing but war criminals - prosecute them all and start with #kegsbreath 🚨

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Republicans aren’t buying Trump’s bullshit about his billion-dollar ballroom. If you’ve got a GOP senator or representative, demand that they reject the MAGA spending bill: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-yo...

The First Amendment is clear: The federal government can't punish media organizations just because it doesn't like what they have to say. By fighting back, ABC is sending an important message: Our rights are worth fighting for.

The new Trump administration counterterrorism strategy document is not getting nearly enough attention. The document explicitly lists “left-wing extremists,” people with “radically pro-transgender” ideologies, and “anti-fascists” alongside ISIS and cartels as top national security threats. 1/

Kind of surprised that this hasn't been bigger news. It's finals week for a whole lot of universities, and yet, Canvas (a learning/grading platform used by ~9,000 schools globally) is currently inaccessible because of a pay-or-have-your-data-leaked hack. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

ICE Abducts Disney Cruise Staff Right Off of Ship in Horrific Raid At least 10 staffers were detained, some of whom were zip-tied in front of cruise passengers as they were led off the boat.

Hundreds of new ICE officers are deploying across the U.S. as records show staffing changes at co-working style offices.

Patel recently ordered a criminal investigation into a report about his alleged erratic behavior and alcohol abuse.

Are you fuck'n kidding me? These fuck'n rich douchebags from #Laurelhurst, #Seattle are complaining that helicopters landing at Seattle Children's Hospital is causing them "discomfort" due to the "noise." They are forcing them to land elsewhere. WTF! Join us this Saturday. Let's make some noice!
