Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified
There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

The thing I love most about Zohran Mamdani are his ideas for how to make working people’s lives better. I also love how those same ideas make the most greedy people alive utterly furious.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

Protesting is a right of all Americans under the First Amendment. But the US government is now allowing federal agents to conduct sweeping raids; ICE is reportedly detaining and deporting people. And, while police brutality is an abstract concept for some, it’s a stark reality for others.

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.

Folks, I need to say something. The number one rule of protesting is know your organizer.
If you don't know who is organizing an event near you (including a widely advertised rally), you should find out.
I have DEEP concern right now about "peaceful protests" seeding violence.

Correct. It’s really more of a hijacking than a coup.
This is not just a coup and a Constitutional crisis. It is a national security catastrophe for the United States from which there is no assurance we will ever fully recover. Not hyperbole. If foreign enemies had landed troops on our shores it’s unlikely they would’ve done as much damage as fast.
