If kids got raped by clowns as often as they get raped by preachers it would be against the law to take your kids to the circus.

The House is legally entitled to exactly zero access to sealed evidence, grand jury material, or confidential investigative files during an open investigation.That's how the law works, & Trump, who loves to sound authoritative while saying nothing, is counting on you not knowing that.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

Not good: Ethiopia is reporting a cluster of 8 suspected cases of a possible viral hemorrhagic fever.
It is not yet clear: (1) if these are true, confirmed cases; and (2) what the suspected illness is - many possibilities here ranging from not a VHF, to Ebolavirus, Ebola Sudan, Marburg, etc.

Health authorities in Ethiopia are carrying out further investigations and ramping up response after suspected cases of viral haemorrhagic fever were reported in the country’s South Ethiopia Region.

The Epstein emails are a “skeleton key” for understanding a culture “in which the wealthy and powerful appear not as master operators but as bumbling sycophants, eager to cozy up to influence no matter how villainous or depraved,” @cwarzel.bsky.social argues.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

+ we wouldn't "need" the files if we actually believed survivors.
My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
