McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

LYONS: Yes mam

McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question

McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

But not enough of them are just getting in front of the cameras and reading the list.
All those representatives who have seen the unredacted Epstein files seem equal parts furious and disgusted, eh?

Beautifully stated!
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

#Lutnick needs to be shown the exit. #EpsteinFiles.

But that crook is the reason we have #Project2025.
Khanna: "Here we have a sitting cabinet member, Lutnick, who's all over the files as having a business relationship allegedly and personal relationship alleged after Epstein was convicted. He's allegedly lied about his relationship. And there's no consequence. We need to get real in this country."

"Getting worse the more Epstein shit comes out."

Nothing is more dangerous than a cornered animal. That's what's happening.
“this protects minors. Give us ID.”

No, you mean it lets you spy openly on people.

Oh. And it also means those who were victims of trafficking, abuse etc. are now harder to find, and find it harder to speak out. Funny how this is getting worse as more Epstein shit comes out eh?

Three things jump out:
1. It's shameful we've ever treated anyone like this.
2. The political persecution mocks our constitution.
3. Why if they were going to just deport him was an ESTA even granted?

"The cruelty is the point."

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation
As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

So the trafficking was the side business ... the main gig was blackmail.

Maxwell probably deserves not to rot in prison but to hang.

Ossoff is 100% right! The bigger the gap, the harder to cheat!
Ossoff: We would be naive not to expect dirty tricks. This man tried to steal the presidency when he lost it the first time. The best insurance against dirty tricks is landslide margins of victory.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

What happened to @cbsnews.com ? Did they put Bari Weiss in the broom closet? I thought they were supposed to be Fox Lite.

The #EpsteinFiles is beginning to have the #DripDripDrip of #Watergate.

And that's a good thing. It means the truth is on the way out, and the dam is leaking.

More and more I suspect the "conspiracy theory" that sex trafficking was a sideline and blackmail was the main line of business may actually be correct.

Who else e-mails themselves pictures in such a context?

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

If you found Gaelic hard to understand, try some mediaeval English instead:

It’s because stupidity and corruption are not capital offenses.
funny how the man who cost the Washington Post hundreds of thousands in subscriptions by canceling the paper's presidential endorsement—almost certainly the most destructive decision in the history of the paper, if not journalism itself—still has his job
