“The president and first lady seemed totally unfazed about whether there was an abuser—another abuser—in their workplace. There was no follow-up from either of them to see if I needed help or protection. There was no investigation ordered. No effort to get to the bottom of this ....

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Todd Blanche refuses to translate the foreign language documents in the Epstein Files, despite the fact there was an international sex trafficking ring.

Phang: "The fact that it's taking France and England and other foreign countries to be able to launch investigations, and yet our American DOJ is sitting on it doing absolutely nothing, including not cooperating with those foreign nations, is such a big red flag."

Release the Files

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 3d ago

Katie Phang vows to release the Epstein files if her lawsuit is successful: "The law was to benefit everyone -- especially the victims and survivors of Epstein, Maxwell and others, who continue to get the stiff arm, short thrift asshole treatment by Todd Blanche."

So why isn't Fox news televising interviews of all the happy people who live near data centers so we can hear what a treat it is to live with the constant noise, lights, increased utility costs and non-existent new jobs?

🚨 BREAKING: The DOJ is moving to dismiss the indictment against David Hearn in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool case and is admitting the damage was the result of a flawed, botched installation job, not vandalism.

DOJ Seeks to Dismiss Charges Against Olympian It Indicted for "Vandalizing" the Lincoln Memorial.

just incredible to watch the US president take Iran's side when my state's water systems are under cyberattack

New rule: if the indictment gets a press conference, the dismissal gets one too

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.

this Pirro press conference is completely beyond parody, like a deleted scene from Idiocracy. listen to this shit

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.

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

We are watching, in real time, the biggest fuck-up by any president in the history of the United States of America.

CNN: "The president's overall approval rating now stands at just 34%. That matches his career low following the January 6 insurrection."

GOOD: A unanimous official statement condemning a pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell BETTER: Voting NO on Todd Blanche’s confirmation

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · last wk.

FLAG: The Senate has just adopted by unanimous consent a non-binding resolution opposing a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell for any crimes related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Talarico: When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away, literally runs away from reporters, from voters, from anyone asking hard questions. If you've given an Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child predator, you should have to answer questions.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Once more: Mamdani understands that you can't just do things in politics and expect voters will notice on their own and thank you for it. You've got to work just as hard selling yourself to voters once you're in office as you did selling yourself to them to get into office. This is the way.

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . It was ignorant anti-vax kooks like RFK Jr who got most Americas killed by Covid.

RFK Jr: "Because of Dr Fauci's leadership and other reasons, we had the highest mortality rate from covid of any country in the world" #OtherReasons 🙃

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

The International Olympic Committee is lifting the suspension of Russian boxers while Russia is bombing the old boxing center in Kherson. The IOC is on the wrong side of history.

This should be another aspect of immediate journalistic inquiry: What has happened to other world leaders who have suffered from similar psychiatric issues in their decompensating end stages? How did that turn out for themselves and the people they govern?

It's not a disagreement about politics. Itr's a morality/decency thing.

The perfect portrait of a sociopath.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

You're JUST figuring this out now? Is this parody?
