The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Good @mattpolprof.bsky.social review of @lkatfield.bsky.social's great new book on the intellectual roots of MAGA, with a focus on the sheer opportunism of MAGA intellectuals who opportunistically glommed on to Trump:

By way of comparison, a total of 26 people died in ICE detention during the four years of the Biden administration.
Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

Reporter: A video of a raid from Los Angeles, look inside this car. They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.

This would mean auctioning off nearly 7,200 brand-new postal EVs.

Curious about why "Women's Health" needs explicit focus in clinical research?
Because most historical clinical trials are composed of ONLY men because the (male) scientists thought women's hormones would "mess up" the data.
We encourage reading the book, but this is a nice intro.
