Over 80 years old, weary from dealing with a repulsive criminal, and in utter disbelief that my country has chosen him to lead us, while knowing his cons, his flaws, his fascism and his ineptitude.

The Saudi Crown Prince had Khashoggi dismembered in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul.
Dismembered while still alive.
But Khashoggi gave his phone to his fiancee and went in with his Apple Watch recording.
His watch was connected to his phone.
It captured the gruesome audio of his brutal killing.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Wolff: I was talking to Epstein and he went into his safe and came out with photographs...
And it was Trump with girls of an uncertain age in Epstein's house...There are two in which topless girls are sitting on Trump’s lap—and then a third in which he has a stain on the front of his pants.

HUGE admission by El Salvador here; it completely puts to lie the Trump admin’s repeated claims in court that it has no control over people sent to El Salvador to be imprisoned without trial.
El Salvador told the United Nations definitively; these people are being held under U.S. jurisdiction.

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.
