A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.

Not having a gag reflex is sort of a requirement for a Trump cabinet post, in multiple senses.

‘I Will Literally Eat Anything’: RFK Jr. Touts His Nonexistent ‘Gag Reflex’

Nixon set the bar low, Trump obliterated it.

Just wanted everyone to know that Capital One didn’t close one account of mine today—or over 300 accounts of mine or my family’s—because we’re not criminals.

can't remember, do presidents usually summon us attorneys to the oval office to pressure them on individual cases

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, ...

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.

My tax dollars are subsidizing a harebrained vanity war in the Middle East that's killing people there and affecting lives and livelihoods around the world. What the hell do I do about that?

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Reminder: Todd Blanche has… -Weaponized the DOJ to persecute Trump’s political foes -Purged hundreds of career DOJ lawyers -Botched the release of the Epstein files and ignored victims’ wishes He can’t be trusted and has no business being Attorney General. The Senate must reject him.

Oh good, we are crowdsourcing military strategy now.

PENTAGON: Anyone got any ideas? @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2026/08/03/p...

Just raising some awareness of this bc an analogy is being made between one historical technology and universities and AI and universities now. And the implication is “relax, we’ll all just adapt to this new technology that some ppl are fretting over.” So we will probably see more of this.

NYPL has the full print of Dürer’s Triumphal Arch on exhibition and you should definitely go see it if you’re in NYC.

Well worth the hour. It’ll tickle the dark side of your funny bone and that was great for me! Thanks, Nato! (Deleted previous post of the link and reposted a new one using intelligible language)

Here is the link for my brand new standup special The Darkest Hour. Album version out 8/14. It is not for everyone but it is extremely for who it’s for. I hope that is you. I’m quite proud of it. Please give it a watch and share etc. youtu.be/_er-hJ8nZh0?...

Sorry I can't go out tonight. I have a new jar of natural peanut butter to stir.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

As a former (reformed?) alto and tenor sackbut(t) player, I wish you all a happy Uncommon Musical Instrument Awareness Day!

Today is Black Tot Day: The solemn occasion marking 31 July 1970, the final day of the rum ration in the British Navy; it was poured as usual at 6 bells in the forenoon watch (11am) after the pipe of 'up spirits’.

man who tried to save millions during a pandemic > men who protect pedophiles and separate families.

If the current Republican orthodoxy is that public health officials are responsible for every incident of disease or death that occurs on their watch, I'm looking forward to the months of hearings about RFK Jr

Dear Govt personnel - Next time you’re ordered to surveil Newsom or Comey, and you think the order is unlawful, call a lawyer. Blow the whistle lawfully. Protect yourself while exposing illegality. Quietly obeying makes you complicit.

Rand Paul--who doesn't believe in evolution--holding a hearing of Dr. Fauci--a retired, life-long public servant-- while we are *actively* in the midst of SEVERAL disease outbreaks due to unnecessary public health cuts and corporate lobbying shows exactly how unserious Republicans are.

Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.

I don’t usually reposts reposts, but gonna do this one I think I’ll leave it right here:

We can verify the daily physical status of a specific Seattle raccoon but apparently we're completely unable to determine whether a United States Senator is alive or dead.

A friendly reminder that A Fish Called Wanda anticipated most of the right-wing politics we‘re currently experiencing

Wait, wait … are these folks on effing crack? Oh, wait excuse me, that’s right: I’m an old. So wtf are they in OxyContin (or whatever the drug du jour might be, please not be MDA)

Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social · last wk.

We destroyed Irans military then had to go back to fighting the non existent military but had to stop because we were using too many expensive missiles attacking the not-military because we weren’t flying over the country with no military because their non military was still a threat to our planes.

And I would do anything for clicks Oh, I would do anything for clicks Oh, I would do anything for clicks But I won't Douthat
