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:
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
On the same day that David Ellison claims he's not putting his finger on the scale, there's this: "CBS’s 60 Minutes had the scoop on Jeffrey Epstein’s sketchy financials—before the Bari Weiss–run network fired the reporter fronting the investigation."

Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com · yesterdayUPDATE: The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general to the Senate floor. The move comes despite previous protests from Republicans who criticized the DOJ's role in the creation of a $1.8 billion fund to compensate Trump's allies. Background:
You can see the very obvious throughline from “men could transition and easily dominate women’s sports” to “women’s sports are lesser and shouldn’t be taken seriously” to “women shouldn’t play sports” to “here are the acceptable life choices for women”

Forgive me mom for the blasphemy, but this is a goddamn murder-for-hire machine. At scale.
