Apparently, the testimony of 40 minors was not enough to convince then U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta (later a Trump appointee) to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein.
This is one of the biggest cover-ups of our generation. @oversightdemocrats.house.gov won't stop until the truth comes to light.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

This is exactly the correct take.
"In 2020, the government pointed to Maxwell’s 'willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct' as a reason to deny her bail. Now, with her entire life in the government’s control, it turns to her as a source of truth. Or, if not truth, a story that can help the president out of this jam."
DOJ slides into DMs of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell

My own anecdotal experience is that if you can make a woman laugh, feel valued, and also make feel like her concerns are actually being listened to and (when requested) addressed, the female gaze when it comes to physicality is... forgiving.
This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment.

Mystified as to why DOJ’s withholding of the Epstein files so upsets Trump’s base?
It’s simple.
👉 A third of MAGA Republicans are QAnon.
👉 QAnon teaches that government, media, and financial elites are Satanic sex-trafficking pedophiles.

The GOP passed a budget that will eviscerate health care in rural areas. They delayed much of the impact for after the midterms, hoping the public will think any discussion of the impending collapse is hyperbolic.
Local reporters have a chance to do service journalism that'll make a splash too.

New in PN: SCOTUS clears the path for Trump's network of global gulags
"With one paragraph, the Court undercut lower court judges and consigned countless immigrants to be renditioned to a system of gulags. It will have lasting corrosive effects on American civil society and respect for the courts."

ICE's unsustainable operational tempo combined with the quota pressure, their obvious fear of regular citizens and overall lack of training will inevitably lead to them shooting and killing people.
But let's be clear that ICE kills Angelenos every day. Deporting refugees is murder.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Alma Bowman is a 58 year old disabled woman who spent 30 months in ICE detention witnessing atrocities against women.
When released, she worked with the government as a whistleblower to raise awareness of the inhumane practices in detention centres.
