Detectives investigating Andrew have asked the FBI and DOJ for unredacted copies of the Epstein Files, via the National Crime Agency.
Epstein files could be just tip of the iceberg for Andrew investigation
It is likely we have only seen the tip of the iceberg compared to what the police have seen.

I don’t want to be friends with Nazis. It’s not 2008 and you aren’t Barack Obama. I’m looking for a presidential candidate who understands the FDR/Truman approach to Nazis.
Beshear: "If somebody is looking for a Democratic version of Trump, that's not me. My goal is to bring people together, my goal is to heal the country. You can't do that if you're engaged in the same tactics he is. If that's what the American people are looking for, I'm not their guy."

Liu is the best U.S. hope for an Olympic medal in women's figure skating, which would be the country's first in the competition since 2006.

I have really come to believe that we'd be in a much better place right now if we had put Nixon away in a dingy cell for the rest of his natural life, instead of the slap on the wrist for being naughty that he actually received.

Isn't Trump the person who trafficked Giuffre to Epstein and Andrew?
DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too?
TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.

So much blood on this criminal administration’s hands
This is the eighth death in ICE custody in the last seven weeks.
I received notification of yet another death at an ICE facility, meaning 38 people have died in custody since Trump returned to office.
ICE is failing to ensure the health and safety of the people it is responsible for.
We need immediate oversight of this entire operation.

One of the great problem with journalism prizes is that they are mostly awarded based on the year a piece is published and not once their true power has been recognized.
But if ever there were a case for a special award...it should go to Julie.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Let me explain what this genuinely EVIL memo does. The admin is doubling down on its plan to arrest, detain, and interrogate tens of thousands of legally present refugees; people already vetted who’ve lived here legally for 1+ year.
Hundreds were arrested in Minnesota before a court blocked this.

![П.
New Policy
When a refugee is admitted to the United States, the admission is conditional and subject to a mandatory review after one year of physical presence in the United States under INA § 209(a)(1), 8 U.S.C. § 1159(a)(1). [footnote 1] At one year after admission:
[Footnote 1] 18 C.F.R. § 209.1(a)(1) states that every refugee whose status has not been terminated "is required to apply to USCIS one year after entry in order for USCIS to determine his or her admissibility ." 8 C.F.R. § 209.1(b) provides that this [end fragment of footnote 1]
The refugee must return, or be returned, to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) custody for inspection and examination for admission as an LPR.
If the refugee does not voluntarily return, DHS will return the individual to custody (i.e., arrest and detain) for this purpose.
DHS may maintain custody for the duration of the inspection and examination process.
This detain-and-inspect requirement ensures that refugees are re-vetted after one year, aligns post-admission vetting with that applied to other applicants for admission, and promotes public safety.

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE
then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"
and i was like.
