She Was already convicted. She has no fifth amendment rights for most of these questions.

Trump and the GOP again trying to mobilize in top of their election fraud lies to create policies that make it harder to vote — which intentionally suppresses the vote certain groups, including people who have fewer resources (time, money, transportation) to jump through added hoops.
Fixing the Midterms is now the main driver for Trump.

Best definition of Trump’s racism
"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

I have been musing about the hypothesis that the ultimate consequence of SCOTUS's opinion in Trump v. U.S. will be the destruction of the rule of law in the U.S. This gift article helps to explain why, in part by emphasizing the evisceration of the Dept. of Justice.

After the Justice Department shut the door on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files in July 2025, FBI agents worked on drafts of a 21-page presentation of all the evidence the FBI had gathered in the case, including a summary of allegations against 11 men.

Who TF brings their children to a pedophile’s island??

Even if you disgustingly choose to do business with a morally reprehensible person, wouldn’t you at the very least protect your own children??

This just reaffirms for me that they are all pedophiles until proven otherwise
Howard Lutnick went to Jeffrey Epstein's island 5 days before Lutnick and Epstein went into business together.

12/23/2012 — Lutnick goes to Epstein's island.

12/28/2012 — Lutnick and Epstein sign a stock purchase agreement.

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.

Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else.

A Border Patrol agent shot her five times—then bragged about it to his buddies.
 
Today, a federal court ruled those texts must be released.
 
The American people deserve transparency just as much as Marimar deserves justice.

The government dropped its case against Marimar Martinez but her lawyers say it has refused to correct the record after calling her a “domestic terrorist.”

Those bribes worked well.
In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion."

That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill

Probably the very last person who should be making decisions about culture for anyone
Johnson: I didn’t even know who Bad Bunny was, but it sounds like a terrible decision. He’s not someone who appeals to a broader audience. There's so many eyes on the Super Bowl—young, impressionable children. In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that.

It's also why RFKJr was installed to gut public health:why spend tax $ on keeping the "useless eaters" alive when that $ could be spent enriching the Broligarchs with even more federal contracts?

That's why the Broligarch-owned White House earlier this week trotted out their little mouthpiece, Dr. Oz, to announce that Americans should be delighted to work from High School graduation until dropping dead from old age, with no Medicare or Social Security.

Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

🧵Karl Marx wrote of capitalism as a whodunit, in which the central mystery is: where does surplus value come from? That is, who creates profit & how?

It's always the mysteriously disappeared bodies of workers, like those powering the illusion of "autonomous" cabs or "cashierless" grocery stores.
