My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)
According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Can anyone explain to me why the pharmaceutical companies are supporting the MAHA movement even though it directly threatens their business and bottom line?

One of the craziest things that has become apparent to me as I’ve gotten older is people are just putting “hello yes would you like to do crimes? Here is my plan to do crimes, let us join together to do the crimes at this specific time and place” in emails

This short thread pretty convincingly ties Trump’s Russian money laundering to the hack charging everyone with mortgage fraud today.

Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)

Trump was, at this moment, running for President (his vanity run).
He dropped out of the race a month later.

The email that’s most newsworthy in my mind is the one that Epstein sent to Ghislaine Maxwell in 2011.
1. This was years before Trump ran for office.
2. It appears that Ghislaine Maxwell lied to DOJ officials during her meeting with them a couple months ago.

That is proof at the least the Maxwell (to nobody suprise) lied in the purported conversation with the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche when she said she never saw Trump do anything inappropriate. She clearly knew some things had happened and splitting hairs on not watching is a stretch.

European tech CEO warns that European Commission plan to gut the GDPR will harm European SMEs
I don't think the Commission understands how much this attack on the GDPR will hurt innovation done by European companies, and instead cement Google's and Meta's position as the inescapable middle-men and turn our SMEs into their cash-cows. WAKE UP!
As we write in The Guardian this morning, the Commission’s plan to gut EU digital rules will hurt Europe’s startups and give U.S. tech an unassailable advantage, confirming Europe as a digital vassal.
