Yes, it's true. The US Attorney's office in New York prepared a draft of an announcement of Epstein's death that is dated one day BEFORE Epstein died.

Nothing fishy here....

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

So far, the Texas State Board of Education’s massive revamp of the social studies curriculum is driven by ideology, not an attempt to accurately convey history.

I canceled my Washington Post subscription after Bezos axed the Kamala Harris endorsement. Not because of Harris, but because it was a watershed moment that showed us the WaPo had gone from being a public trust to Bezos' personal instrument. Everything since then has confirmed as much.

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people on Earth, just eliminated hundreds of union jobs at the Washington Post.

Solidarity with @postguild.bsky.social. Join them tomorrow, February 5 at 12:00 p.m. for a rally to #SaveThePost.

Save the post. Hundreds of workers at the Washington Post stand to lose their jobs in layoffs, which could render The Post unrecognizable amid some of the most severe staff cuts the newspaper has ever seen. If you value The Post and care about its future, we ask that you join us in person in our call to #SaveThePost. Feb 5, 2026 @ 1301 K St. NW 12:00-1:00pm

Another batch of Trump's judicial nominees refused in their confirmation hearings today to publicly acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, which annoyed Sen. Richard Blumenthal enough for him to call them "monkeys" and "puppets"
