Bernie Sanders: What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details. It is the degree to which enormously wealthy and powerful people live by their own rules — and continue to get away with it.

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Shady Vance was asked a simple, human question: will you apologize to the family of Alex Pretti? His response—“For what?” Pure cruelty.
That’s a man so committed to his lies that he can look straight at grief and deny it exists. This is who he is.
Cold. Callous.

Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.

In a sane world, the decision by Rufo, Vance, & co. to slander and slap a target on the traumatized, hardworking immigrants who revitalized a rust belt city -- and who *were invited* to that city -- would be a stain on their careers that they never live down.
They should be reminded of it. Often.

Your tax dollars are being sucked into the pockets of Republican billionaires faster than you can pay them. That's why the National Debt has hit a new record, again.
Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA.
Facts that bear repeating.

Are Republicans trying to kill off their most ardent supporters on purpose? First, Trump claimed that COVID was a hoax, "just the flu". Then, Republicans said vaccines are deadly. Now, they claim that red meat and saturated fat are healthy.
It's not Democrats who are vulnerable to GOP lies.

They always lie about being rammed with a vehicle. They’re the ones that ram vehicles, and even brake check cars to cause crashes that will justify use of force.
SEEING IS BELIEVING
DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite.
📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported.
DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.
