A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

60 Minutes Epstein Banking Story Vanished After CBS Ousted Sharyn Alfonsi, Dem Senator Reveals

Wyden revealed he was interviewed for the show in a Senate report alleging the country's largest banks turned “a blind eye” to Epstein's financial activity

Rand Paul is a liar, and I'm sick of people only partially correcting him.

I’m intrigued by the recent resurgence of the ‘Long Covid is not real’ nonsense we saw back in 20/21. The refusal to learn is one thing, but the dismissal of reality is another. Long Covid is too painful, too common & too present in many people’s lives to be denied. The story is hard to rewrite.

NEW: Voting rights advocates joined 23 blue states in urging SCOTUS to uphold a block on Trump's executive order attempting to restrict mail voting ahead of November's vote. They warned that lifting the block less than 100 days before the midterms would sow chaos and risk disenfranchising voters.

Voting advocates call on Supreme Court to uphold block on Trump’s anti-mail voting order

The group said lifting the block under 100 days before the midterms would sow chaos, risk disenfranchising voters and create administrative nightmares for election officials.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

The only way to defeat the powers that have co-opted our institutions without destroying everything is to build parallel institutions

Ex-60 Minutes boss wants to create rival broadcast with fired staffers: report

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Schiff: "The president is entitled to his own views about me or anybody else. He is not entitled, however, to use the DOJ to go after his political opponents. The day we say that's ok and the day we confirm an AG who says that's ok is the day the rule of law becomes merely an unenforceable idea."

The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.

They think they're being clever eugenicists by saying that people with "underlying health issues" don't matter, but >75% of U.S. adults have a chronic condition (including 60% of age 18–34). So what they're really saying is "nobody matters, it's okay if everybody dies from inadequate regulation."

Breaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.

Bank accounts held by President Donald Trump were closed by Capital One in 2021 after it flagged financial activity that had characteristics of money laundering, the bank disclosed in a court filing over the weekend. https://to.pbs.org/3TAajiN

Trump bank accounts were closed due to concerns over possible money laundering, Capital One says

The court filing is tied to a lawsuit filed against Capital One by one of Trump’s financial holding companies shortly after he was sworn into office a second time.

When people die and the media says they had “pre-existing conditions”… they’re pacifying the public. Anyone could die from Cyclosporiasis, but they want you to believe it can’t happen to you. It can only happen to the weak, the disabled, the elderly. The expendable people. Eugenics.

Two Deaths Linked to Cyclospora Outbreak in Michigan

The patients had “significant underlying health conditions” that may have contributed to their deaths, health officials said.

So why is it that with Long Covid 7 years on we still have this dismissal agenda despite a massive amount of scientific evidence? We really ought to study this sociological phenomenon more closely. That’s what we need more evidence on, not the existence of LC.

#LongCovid is not a ‘subject’ to dispute. It’s a health condition that changes people’s lives. Definitions can evolve & that’s not an excuse to dismiss the illness itself. Diagnostic criteria for diabetes have repeatedly changed over time but no one takes u seriously if you say diabetes in disputed!

Long covid is a disputed subject, at best.

"Were Republican officials to credit reports about Miller’s unfitness, they would essentially be taking sides against Trump & GOP identity itself. To admit the accusations require moral action is to admit all those things the media has been saying about Trump might also be true. That is unendurable"

NYT is covering for Trump 2 on the diarrhea lettuce the same way they did for Trump 1 during covid. 'Underlying health issues' is their favorite phrase to wave away responsibility from the people in charge

Breaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.

Two people have died as a result of the cyclospora outbreak, and right on cue, both the govt/media are trotting out the "but they were old and/or had pre-existing conditions," line. In other words- these people don't matter, this couldn't possibly impact YOU, & don't alter your behavior in any way.

Not a big fan of the "sick, elderly and/or disabled people don't count" discourse that appears to follow public health disasters these days.

Really worth zooming in and reading this statement from a few years ago from the German Minister for Health-Prof. Karl Lauterbach. So you can clearly see catching any Covid infection is a bad idea.

Over 6 million children in the US alone have long covid, a really shocking statistic and Trump claims he did a ‘good job’. Long Covid has overtaken Asthma as a leading cause of Chronic health. Covid is not mild it carries lasting post infection risks to all. It is airborne and vascular. 🧵

Peter Gleick@petergleick.bsky.social · 3d ago

As RFK Jr and Trump desperately try to gaslight us about the #COVID pandemic, remember that 1.2 million Americans died-- one of every 300 people in the country. The COVID-19 vaccine SAVED 3.2 million lives, prevented 18 million hospitalizations, & averted more than $1.15 trillion in medical costs.

I truly dont know how we can look around and pretend the same groups of people identified as likely to die or become disabled by Sars-Cov-2 no longer need protection. Sorry are you telling me there are no more pregnant people, disabled people, or elderly people in the world?
