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.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · 2d agoBombshell 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:

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"
So that’s the thing to know, if you’re a tabloid that’s going to name-check me in another round of transphobic shit about Bluesky discourse. I don’t stand with you. I stand with my trans friends and family members. ⏹️

A nuclear deal for the Saudis. A media blackout for Kushner’s corruption.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.

El Cheapo strikes again. Hopefully this paves the way for Calabro to call Sonics games in the near future.
Joe Freeman@freemanjoe.bsky.social · 2w agoKevin Calabro tells me has decided to step away from Blazers broadcasting and will no longer call games for Portland. The team and its veteran play-by-play man had been in discussions on a new contract, but he called the offers "subprime" and he has decided to move on.

Said this lots of times in lots of venues, but: Trump created an enormous economy — both for money and attention — with his claims of fraud in 2020. Lots of people (D'Souza, Lindell) cashed in. Countless others tried to. But six years later, no evidence of fraud has emerged. None. The end.

please show respect for the dead body of someone who didn’t respect your alive body
may all the so called journalists trying to poke holes in racicot's story and coming up with stuff like "her door was unlocked" never ever live this down
I wrote about the irony of Platner and his campaign trying to convince journalists, commentators and voters that they had outsmarted the trappings of traditional masculinity, only to come crashing down as a result of it:
We didn’t need a rape accusation to know Graham Platner was unfit
Despite months of red flags, his allies insisted he was the vision of positive masculinity the party needed.

i will not forget the men who downplayed the earlier allegations of abuse against platner and said accepting them was just the price we had to pay to gain control of the senate. i hope they feel like fucking assholes.
Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her
The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”
