I love how big journo shops are bringing serious data analysis to Epstein emails, which of course means the government could have too www.tiktok.com/t/ZThxbdyYQ/
Who had the most contact with Jeffrey Epstein in the final decade of his life? In the years after Epstein pled guilty to soliciting sex from a minor, he maintained consistent contact with a vast netwo...

It is time for everyone to speak up. And that includes, by the way all of our ex-presidents and most of our ex-former military leaders and others who held top offices who are choosing to remain relatively quiet on the sidelines. Now is a time for all not just to speak out but to be true activists.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

@normornstein.bsky.social Thanks for actually bringing facts to the save act. I renewed my license about 18 months ago. They said that I needed the original birth certificate. I returned with an original, but I was told hospital certificates don't work. It takes 4 months to get a DMV appt. 1/2

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Many people knew what was going on with Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell, even in parts.

Trigger warning for the subpost video. It's nightmarish!

The things that are being revealed are so vile that it's hard to believe such evil exists, so some people just thought these allegations were nuts.

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies. 
 
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

If you have any spare time this weekend, check out my latest podcast. It delves into the disappearance of Ashley Loring HeavyRunner, a member of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. Her case reflects a larger crisis where over 5,000 Native American women and girls are reported missing every year.

Trump: “The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired … There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!“

Through this gesture, they also showed support for Vladyslav Heraskevych, who was disqualified over a “memory helmet.”

The Constitution's supremacy clause bars local interference with federal officers when they act reasonably, within the scope of their duties.

But when agents cross that line, experts said, there's an obligation to try to hold them accountable.
Local and State Police Can Investigate Federal Agents, But Rarely Do
It doesn’t happen often, but local law enforcement can arrest and charge federal agents. Legal experts say there’s a moral obligation to at least try to hold federal immigration officers accountable w...

Visitors to our country should not face a digital shakedown. @wyden.senate.gov and I are calling on CBP to reverse its invasive proposal to collect five years of social media history from travelers from trusted partner nations.

The president cannot:
• Make laws
• Declare war
• Control elections
• Run the civil service like a CEO
• Ignore court orders
• Stay in office without elections
• Decide which laws apply to them
• Use the military for domestic political control

Those were king powers, and the framers rejected them.
