Was there sex trafficking at the Playboy Mansion? Several women have now claimed there was. The parallels to Epstein are extraordinary, but in this case, the crimes were glamorized on tv’s The Girls Next Door. Watch this clip of Karissa Shannon from Lisa Guerrero Unleashed youtu.be/rbCW4poBhXM?...

“But if Miller had abused someone who wasn’t the daughter of a senator, and if there were no electoral repercussions, would any of them have spoken up to condemn his behavior? No. The Republican Party seems happy to turn a blind eye to the abuse of women.” www.thebulwark.com/p/ground-con...

Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

Cornyn justifies his support for Blanche: "That's one of those things that can't be remedied by a 'no' vote"

So why did he wait to call for Miller to be out of Congress?

Senator Bernie Moreno speaks at length to TMZ and other journalists and describes horrific dynamics with Max Miller. This isn't even the worst thing he claims Miller did (that would be releasing naked pictures of the little girl) but HE HELD HER STUFFIE HOSTAGE: x.com/TMZ/status/2...

Comic masterpiece. Ellison is truly convinced that if he as a person has conservative views and liberalism views, then he is “ trustworthy” to control these content giants. Like any MAGA tool, he thinks nepo babies outrank experienced professionals, any day.

musk & altman are scam artists. their actual technical expertise/knowledge of the companies they run could fit into shot glass with room to spare. what they're really good at is hyping suckers, er, investors (with far more money than sense) into believing they can deliver a sustainable ROI.

Elon Musk will be spending $100 million to $120 million in at least eight states to help elect Republicans in November, according to The New York Times. But Musk’s money shouldn’t be viewed as a problem. It’s an opportunity. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-stink-of-musk

Absurd. Money is issued (indirectly) by the Treasury, a department within the Executive branch, as the presidency is. This is an insult to the American people, and a fatuous normalization of the "unitary executive" scam. www.cnn.com/2026/07/03/p...

My mom and grandma told me about this. It happened in Los Angeles. The last streetcar ran in 1963.

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d ago

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

Tim and I in sync: The left & center-left are acting like the other is the enemy—and not Trump. C’mon, Dems! Keep your eye on the ball: Trump & the corruption, lying, & danger of his administration.
