Worth noting that Nigeria makes a point in its statement to debunk Trump’s comments that this violence is specifically directed at Christians, acknowledging that it impacts everyone.

Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"?
There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social they did no such thing. The idiot who is now in charge of CBS pulled the story at the last second and DID IT WRONG so it automatically went out to the Canadian app.

The DOJ wants the public to know that while there may be some horrifying things pertaining to Donald Trump in the latest Epstein files release, none of it is true

I think the "best" part of this (if there is such a thing) is that no one defied Weiss or smuggled this out or broke any laws to release it.
It was an automatic thing sent to an app in another country, because Weiss pulled the story at the last second without doing it properly.

His entire rant had to be fact-checked to see if there was any truth in anything he ranted about.
As usual, if his mouth is moving, he's lying.

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support.
Let's get loud as hell, folks, and make sure every member of Congress knows where we stand:

So it seems obvious that everyone in the Trump Administration knows he's a pedo sex offender. But consider this: they're all okay with that.
That rot runs deep.

Trump is completely ignoring the laws. Americans need to learn that we don’t have to wait until Trump overstays his term in 2029 to start calling this an authoritarian regime.

I have a problem with this statement. If people “knew nothing”, why did they cut ties “before his crimes came to light”? Seems like an admission that many of them knew full well what was happening and did nothing, even if they wanted nothing to do with his sordid activities themselves.

The EU and UK should end their technological dependence on the US before it's too late. Trump could die tomorrow but the people around him will continue and they are a far greater threat to Europe and Russia is.

@cbsnews.com has sold out to the fascist system and doesn't have the integrity to stand up for truth.
The person who made the decision to hold this story has never been a news reporter or a news editor. Really sickening.

It takes a special kind of dishonest to back up the DOJ lies.
Go on, gloat all you want now.
This is not a Democrat vs Republican scandal.
This is about children being abused and assaulted to a horrific degree.
In the end, I have to believe those of us on the side of right vs wrong will have the last laugh.

WELKER: Why didn't the DOJ meet the Friday deadline to release all the Epstein files?
BLANCHE: It's very simple and very clear. The statute also requires us to protect victims.

What the actual fuck? The DEADLINE was yesterday. Sure Dems, come on out and tell us how they broke the law by not releasing all the documents, redacting hundreds of pages, and adding photos of Bill Clinton that had nothing to do with Epstein. Where are the US Marshalls? The DEADLINE was yesterday.

The Epstein Transparency Act required the release of ALL Epstein files yesterday, not just some of them. Pam Bondi has broken the law.
Arrest Pamela Bondi now.
