A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Wyden released a sweeping Senate report alleging several of the largest banks of having “been willing to turn a blind eye” to Epstein’s financial activity.

I keep wondering why we don’t hear more about this. At some point Wyden should just go on a network and share this information to the American people we can’t afford to wait for hearings and news stories… people need to know this shit now!

They're already shifting to a new strategy where Democrats decline AIPAC funding and embrace the J Street position, to appear progressive while doing zero to stop Israeli apartheid, genocide, or aggression. Our position must be stop ALL aid and impose sanctions.
I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.
Dems need to make stopping AI datacenters and mass surveillance a campaign platform. That, combined with transparency and prosecution of the rapists, torturers, and traffickers in the Epstein files, would drive the biggest turnout in history and turn even the reddest parts of red states blue.
State Rep Justin J Pearson (of Tennessee 3 Fame) is running for Congress in CD-9 tomorrow! I got the chance to meet him this summer & ask him about his work fighting for voting rights & against Elon Musk’s data center:

I was in a friend’s rental car and in place of a rear-view mirror there was a mirror-sized digital video feed of the back of the car. They replaced one of the most reliable & intuitive safety features in a car with a digital surrogate that could glitch at any moment. KEEP ANALOG SAFTEY FEATURES
Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.
The analysis also explored how the money could potentially be spent elsewhere, on education, healthcare, and benefits.
