Mexican grey cat doing psychotherapy and social work. Time for all of us to unite against all nonsense.
Genuinely a choice to give the son of a billionaire column space to argue for him to further consolidate the media, especially given the pretty abysmal track record of on journalism he has already implemented at CBS
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:
Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, BofA Enabled Epstein, Wyden Report Says
Democrat Ron Wyden cited nonpublic documents held by the US Treasury in a report that says banks delayed reporting suspicious financial transactions and calls for tougher anti-money-laundering rules, ...

They got their checks. Prices are STILL high. We got nothing. VOTE August 6th. The people making these decisions STARTS at local elections!
The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.
The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Todd Blanche quite obviously lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he told them this was dead. It was never dead. It was just on hold until he was confirmed.
interesting thing that is rarely talked about with authors trying to use AI in debut novels: you will get caught once edits start or at MOST on book two. self publishing is different i suppose, but anyone out there trying to break into traditional publishing with AI clearly does not know the process
You know those billboards that ticked off cancer deaths? A live feed that tracked the size of the issue? Let’s do Trump billboards that track his net worth. Show us every dollar he’s racking up and the obscene amount he’s stealing from us and our country. We need a Dem billionaire to finance it.
112 children are imprisoned at Dilley. The youngest child imprisoned at Dilley is 2 months old. None have committed any crime. Private investors make money for each new child taken into Dilley. We need to #ShutDownDilley and end family detention.
This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

The Dodgers giving Donald Trump - a man who is withholding healthcare & fire relief funds from their state - a World Series ring is the single most disheartening & disgusting sports news I have ever heard. Shame on the owners & on every player & coach who went to kiss the ring.
Pregnant workers could lose workplace protections most people don’t even realize they have. Everyone should know what’s happening before it’s too late. #SheShed
Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

In November, Mainers will defeat Susan Collins, and we will take back our Senate seat from the billionaires and corporations who think they own it.
Larry laid his mouse in front of the press to be photographed. Lest you ask, this is a real photograph via the Press Association.
Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

Pool report from @svdate.bsky.social, who is at the World Cup ceremony: "The president walked onto the field at 1826 to a sustained chorus of boos. Ambient crowd noise was about 78 decibels. Booing brought it to 84."
sorry but the miss piggy i know wouldn't stand for a mere piano-sitting role in this farce
By now it should be obvious that Trump intends to repeat his playbook from 2020, and attempt to deny any result he does not like. And tonight was just another attempt by him to avoid accountability and defeat in November.
In 2020, Trump lied before the election, lied after the election and -- when he lost in court -- incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol. Right now, he is lying and losing in court ahead of 2026. He is going to escalate and we need to be ready.
National Intelligence Council 2021 report directly contradicts Trump's lies about alleged Chinese interference: “We assess that China did not deploy interference efforts and considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US presidential election"
Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"
So now we’re going from Taco Bell to now fresh produce may not be safe. This is what happens with deregulation and a completely incompetent government.
