Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · yesterdayBanks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS
He keeps saying "if there are any minimum standards in politics" and, yeah, if you're still a Republican I guess that's now an "if" question for you.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayMoreno on Max Miller: "My daughter lives in constant fear of this man ... you can't fathom what that makes me feel like when the dad's number one job is to protect your kids... if there's any minimum standard for being an elected official, he feels to meet it. I don't care about the politics at all"
These are reasonable questions that Dewayne Hankins, Tom Dundon, and the Blazers should have absolutely no problem answering publicly when they are asking for $600M of PUBLIC money. The Blazers are not negotiating in good faith. Might be time for a neutral arbitrator, tbh katu.com/news/investi...

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.
While money isn't everything, it helps. But people seem very ready for progressive change right now.
Wajahat Ali@wajali.bsky.social · 19h agoThese are insane numbers. If El-Sayed wins after being outspent by this much, wow, watch out!
📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
Abdul El-Sayed gave a POWERFUL speech as we await the final results for Michigan's Senate Primary AIPAC Outspent Senate El-Sayed, $70 Million, $11 to $1 "If and when we win this race, how are you going to beat Mike Rogers and their money? I want you to remind them that if we come through this,
Can’t wait to see how the democratic establishment loses their entire shit tomorrow.
It’s official: @abdulelsayed.bsky.social wins the Democratic Primary for Senate! The People Prevail Over Corporate Profits Once Again!
El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250
Big money spent $70 million to try and defeat Abdul El-Sayed and it didn't work! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
i think the only really legitimate policy debate in america is between the far left and center left. i do not recognize conservative policy as a legit alternative.
Never forget: republicans not only sold their souls, they sold out the country, the rule of law and your freedom. It’s their job to rein him in. They chose not to.
Pretty sure city officials can’t delete posts made from their official accounts. Sounds like a state ethics violation to me. Someone should report that…
Brandon Mullen@brandonmullen.com · yesterdayCouncilor Olivia Clark has since deleted this statement where she claims an "urgent need" for "stronger public safety protections to crack down on squatters" are needed in response to the Centennial Mills building fire. We do not yet know the cause of the fire.
Republicans belong in prison

My biggest structural takeaway from this Moda Center thing has always been how badly the legislature screwed local governments and their own constituents. There are important elections this year and in 2028 that may change membership and therefore how our legislature functions for the better.
Rip City Not Rip Off@ripcitynotripoff.bsky.social · 5d agoSenators Lieber and Rob Wagner who sponsored and championed this bill gave up all of the public's leverage before negotiations even began, roping in the Mayor (who does not have the authority to make promises without council) and County Chair (who does not have the authority without the full board)
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:
