Epstein survivor: I found my name in two places in the first Epstein Files release. In the next release, the redactions were far worse. The Files displayed my name, phone number, and more. These documents contain disturbing yet incomplete accounts of my abuse. It was humiliating.

Balint on Hegseth's obsession with testosterone and his attacks on women in combat: "I think it is indicative of the fact that there are so many people in this administration that have some weird, intense, homoerotic, feelings towards men while also being incredibly homophobic..."

Courtesy of Hegseth, everyone who goes to any beach in America with their families consents to sudden and unexpected low flyovers from military jets as part of your experience. Maybe the pilot will be getting testosterone injections. This is how your tax dollars are being spent.

HIRONO: Would you say that Mr Blanche exhibits a dismissive attitude toward all of you and the Epstein crimes? BENSKY: 1,000 percent. Yes.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

These Republican Senators are all corrupt assholes supporters of this criminal regime.

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky and Liz Oyer, a former U.S. pardon attorney who was fired by Todd Blanche, will be witnesses at day two of confirmation hearings tomorrow

The question we asked Todd Blanche after today’s confirmation hearing He would not answer

If the head of US intelligence isn't able to say who won the election in 2020, then maybe he shouldn't be head of US intelligence.

Every person who votes to confirm Todd Blanche is voting to cover up the Epstein files and thwart the Epstein investigation.

This Administration is engaged in the largest criminal cover-up in American history.   Todd Blanche cannot serve as AG. Full stop.

Epstein survivor: We urge Senators Tillis and Cornyn to vote no on Todd Blanche’s nomination.

This is America.

Happy 80th birthday to one of the greatest voices of her generation, LINDA RONSTADT ❤️ (July 15, 1946)

Sen. Booker: "I was stunned earlier by your conversation with one of my colleagues that you wouldn't even commit to meeting with the survivors, but you did meet with Ghislaine Maxwell. Your claim that you can't meet with these victims because they're represented by counsel is utter nonsense…But you'

BOOKER: Were you involved in Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer for a minimum security orison camp? BLANCHE: We learned she was received threats BOOKER: When people are under threats in the Bureau of Prisons facility, they are not moved to a camp

I’m probably biased but it’s starting to feel like the conflict over ICE is going to be the defining feature of Trump’s second term. Will America have an unaccountable paramilitary terror force serving at the whim of the regime, or will we be a nation of laws?

I was going to make the joke “guns are the greatest tool we have right now to stop the rise of school shootings” except they actually believe that too

This feels like a good time to spotlight this opinion piece we put out earlier this year. And here's our favorite line: "Donald Trump does not want the files released, and the DOJ is doing his bidding." 👀

WHITEHOUSE: How long do you intend to put up with Kash Patel? Are you good w/ his airplane jaunts, are you confident he's not drinking on the job, are you sure he knows what he's doing? BLANCHE: That's an extraordinarily obnoxious question. I have full faith in Patel W: Great. You get to own that

This is well done, and Dems should use the inability to simply accept the validity of the 2020 election as justification to remove and bar every single one of these people from public service.

*taps sign*

Months ago, I published an op-ed laying out Trump’s intentions to interfere in our elections. This week, I think he’s preparing to take his biggest step yet.

@ejeancarroll.bsky.social: "I don't understand how people can be afraid of a fat elderly man who wears apricot makeup, his hair done up like Tippi Hedren in The Birds and sits in a court room and moans and groans and complains”

She should have spent today laughing, playing, and feeling safe in her daddy’s arms. Instead, this three-year-old watched her father die. No child should ever have to carry a memory like that. #ICEOutOfControl #AbolishICE

Living Colour releases “Cult of Personality” today in 1988. “.. It was musings on the amoral nature of leadership,” said songwriter and guitarist Vernon Reid. “Whether these people are good or bad, why are we drawn to larger-than-life personalities?” 🎸

"President Trump has paid the writer E. Jean Carroll $5.6 million that was owed to her as a result of a jury’s finding that he was liable for sexually assaulting her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s and then defaming her." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/n...

I’m shocked that Trump lied.

I'm just so sick of this shit day in and day out I genuinely do not believe we can take another 2.5 years of it

Always believe survivors.

Says the guy who, after losing in a free & fair election, incited an insurrection against his own country: the very definition of treason. #ImpeachConvictRemoveImprison

🚨🚨

ICE is still gunning people down in our streets. It is a moral tragedy that this has become commonplace in our country. Do not let anyone convince you that it has to be this way. This is a choice.

The platforming of the lies…. is the problem My latest on the emergence of independent media with Heather Cox Richardson ===> youtu.be/8S0z8J0hUbU?...

ALERT: More trouble for Todd Blanche today. Attorneys for @katiephang.bsky.social ask Judge Emmet Sullivan to issue a $1000/day fine against Blanche until Blanche adheres to court order to release more Epstein files (Blanche refused to do so by July 2 deadline)

Pin this. It will be a pivotal moment in Trump's move to steal the 2026 and 2028 elections. It will present lies that will be used to justify illegal actions to selectively disenfrachise voters. The next four months look like a historic threat to our democracy.

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has received a letter from Sen. Elizabeth Warren demanding answers on whether he lobbied the U.K. government against a tax on bankers' bonuses on the advice of Jeffrey Epstein. tinyurl.com/3vvsrh5t

The MAGA plot to subvert the 2026 midterm elections is coming into focus. 1. Declassify docs to claim 2020 was stolen. 2. Declare a "national emergency" to seize control of the election apparatus. 3. Hope the "national security" predicate keeps courts out. www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...
