Wanting/needing to stay informed while the information continues to horrify me. I have faith that it will get better, I don't know how, but I know it will.

My heart is heavy knowing his soul has left us, but lightened because he is reunited with his love and no longer in pain. So long my favorite president, your legacy is great and the difference you made during your time here cannot be quantified. You will be well and truly missed.
We are saddened to learn of the death of President Carter. President Carter’s legacy extends beyond his 4 years serving in office, but also includes his post-Presidency work to build democratic institutions throughout the world.

We offer our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Host: So when Donald Trump walked in, there were women in there who weren't fully clothed.

Hughes: Correct. Women were not fully clothed when Donald Trump came in.

Host: And some of those women were, what, as young as 15?

Hughes: Yeah, as 15 years old.

Reporter: Trump argued that other countries are going to pay the brunt of the tariffs, but recent research finds the exact opposite. The cost of Trump's tariffs per household was $1,000 last year, and they're seeing an increase this year to $1,300.

Pamela Jo Bondi has seen photos and videos of pedophilia so disturbing that she knew she could never make them public if she wanted to protect the perpetrators. And that was the choice she coldly made.

Eviction moratorium.

Reparations for affected schools, businesses, and families.

Legal assistance & class action suits against feds.

Demonstration that your office can control the people authorized to use lethal force on Minnesotans.

These are the barest of starting points.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

First, the Supreme Court needs to fully understand they must reverse their insane decision to give Trump immunity to stop the Trump murders and attack on our America.

No one is above the law.

The plot thickens:

Statement in the Epstein files announcing Epstein's death was dated the day before he was found dead.

This is right wing media in a nutshell. Fear sells, especially to ignorant white people. May I live to see the day Fox News goes down in flames.

Letting the people who are in the Epstein files continue to occupy their places in power while the ""investigation"" is ongoing is like hiring the guy who incited the Demon Core incident to work on hot nuclear missile warheads.

Wow, NBC edited out the audience booing JD Vance at the Olympics. And this is one of the few remaining news outlets NOT owned by right-wing billionaire Trump sycophants

A President can be impeached for Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. Just how many of those are needed!

Wow: This appears to be a draft statement written by Ghislaine Maxwell in which she addresses allegations made against her and Prince Andrew by Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell appears to confirm that the photo is real and admits that Epstein committed crimes—contradicting her sworn testimony.

With the currently released things about Bill Gates in the Epstein files (he had sex with the women and girls Epstein provided and asked Epstein for antibiotics to secretly give to his then-wife to treat the STI he gave her) how are we feeling about the Gates Foundation funding ... anything?

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

When we talk about authoritarianism, it’s not just Donald Trump.

Larry Ellison controls TikTok

Billionaires increasingly control what we see, hear and read.
