BREAKING: New Mexico’s Attorney General Raúl Torrez has sued DOJ for access to the Epstein files. This is the lawsuit I’ve been waiting for. In my view, New Mexico’s Attorney General has the strongest case to force DOJ to turn over the Epstein files. ⬇️
BREAKING: In 2019, SDNY prosecutors persuaded New Mexico’s AG to shut down his Epstein investigation by promising to share evidence of state crimes. Two weeks ago, SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton broke that promise. Today, he was confirmed as Director of National Intelligence.

El-Sayed was "unelectable." A progressive agenda wouldn't resonate with "real Americans." Well, he won. The agenda won. And he beat $60 million from outside money AND the Dem Establishment AND Islamophobia. Dems will consolidate and Abdulrahman El-Sayed WILL BEAT Rogers and MAGA. Inshallah ;)

👏 This is a WIN for reproductive rights! This amendment would have allowed extremist politicians—and their wealthy donors—to quietly place anti-abortion judges on the bench and bring forth a total abortion ban. Thank you to all the hardworking advocates who made this possible!
Kansas voters rejected a ballot measure that would have made members of the state’s Supreme Court electable by popular vote — a seemingly technical issue that had become a proxy battle for the future of abortion rights in the state, Decision Desk HQ projects. https://bit.ly/4c3fG0d

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
@nmdoj.bsky.social’s complaint alleges that "the federal government has refused, without adequate legal justification, to share records that could help investigators identify witnesses, corroborate evidence, and determine the full scope of crimes that occurred in New Mexico."

Ok look, if you accidentally crash into something as HUGE as the moon then it seems to me that you've got a real problem with fundamental space stuff like orbital dynamics, gravity wells, mission planning, and/or equipment reliability.
We're literally just letting the richest man in the world commit vandalism on an extraplanetary scale.
About 350,000 Haitians in the US have lost their legal status in light of a US Supreme Court decision that allows the Trump administration to gut the Temporary Protected Status program. No other state will feel the repercussions of the loss of Haitian TPS recipients more than Florida.
Florida’s nursing homes are bracing for life without Haitian TPS workers
The Supreme Court ended their legal status. Patients will pay the price.

It is interesting, to me, that people will debate whether El-Sayed poses a threat to Jewish voters and not ask the same of Rogers's election denial.
“Music publications BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, Revolver, and Goldmine have been gutted by parent company Veeps... Nearly all the staff at each publication appear to have been laid off yesterday. Veeps, which is now owned by Live Nation, acquired the publications in 2024 or 2025”

Despite @nbcnews.com declaring @abdulelsayed.bsky.social the winner of the Michigan Democratic Senate primary over @rephaleystevens.bsky.social, it seems every other news outlet has called it still too close to call.
LOL. Abdul El-Sayed WON the Democratic Primary in Michigan despite being outspent 10-1! Amazing gaslighting here.

This is the first time I’ve heard @abdulelsayed.bsky.social speak. I, am, impressed.
Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
He's telling on himself in this segment by comparing himself to Trump not dropping out of the race. Just a very random aside to go on. Basically he's saying that if Trump can abuse women and lie about it and stay in government, so can he.
President Trump promotes the book of notorious POS Alan Dershowitz.
I am debating blocking the people who just liked the photo because “hot” (who don’t tip and buy content), yet can’t just click “share” because god forbid they support sex workers survival too. Seriously half the people haven’t even shared this.

This just might be the most psychotic act of sexual harassment I’ve ever seen. Not the worst per se, or most menacing but in terms of sheer insanity it’s really up there.
