One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Why has the DOJ deleted 234 mentions of Trump’s name in the Epstein files?

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now he is threatening to take over elections. Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.

Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo---

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

The FBI Fulton County raid came as no surprise.

What was surprising was who led the initiative: U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Thomas Albus.

And there is all the reason to believe the federal prosecutor will use his power to interfere with the upcoming elections.
DOJ’s legal machinery to subvert the 2026 election is already in place
It is one thing to seize old ballots; it is quite another to imagine federal agents seizing ballots from county offices on election night or the day after.

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is:

The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

This is the difference between running a bespoke opinion site that caters to a narrow audience, and a large, public-company news org with a PR department that has much bigger things to worry about than which dubious guy is contributing think pieces

Motherhood costs Danish women an average of $120,000 in earnings over two decades, according to a sociologist who researches family and economics. Generous government benefits like paid leave, childcare and child allowances recovered about $100,000 of that loss. buff.ly/pAtuCS0
Denmark’s generous child care and parental leave policies erase 80% of the ‘motherhood penalty’ for working moms
Two researchers found that Danish government benefits do not fully offset moms’ lost earnings. But they do help offset lost income for working women with kids.
