How can the Republican Party ever come back from their shameless boot-licking of this racist pedophile president? Cowards, every one of them.

The DOJ wants the public to know that while there may be some horrifying things pertaining to Donald Trump in the latest Epstein files release, none of it is true

It crashed a couple of times for me, but there's a Substack video downloader that kept running even when the page wouldn't refresh.
Just watched the copy from my hard drive. It's a mind blowing exposé, Noem parading in front of El Salvadorian gang members is particularly egregious.

Obviously 60 Minutes is a huge platform reaching a different audience, but the Daily just had a wrenching episode with interviews of CECOT detainees. Admin officials took selfies outside the prison! They were proud of this! Not exactly Deep Throat reporting here.

If Weiss had more skill she could have spiked the CECOT segment much earlier in the process because it didn‘t reveal enough new information about a widely reported story. This would also have been a terrible decision, but would at least display some knowledge of how things actually work.

I'm currently trying to reconcile my desire to not be an asshole atheist with an increasing concern that the problem with most if not all brands of Christianity is the inherent evangelical "share the news" aspect, which means that the obsessive members will never just leave the rest of us alone
