Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew about his crimes, newly released emails reveal – live updates
In new batch of emails released by House Democrats, Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump ‘spent hours’ at his house with one of his victims In a new batch of emails released by Democrats on the House oversight committee, Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald Trump knew about the late financier and sex-offender’s crimes. In the three emails released, Epstein apparently told his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump “spent hours” at his house with one of Epstein’s victims. In two other emails to author Michael Wolff, Epstein wrote that “of course he knew about the girls”, referring to the now-president. According to the exchanges, Epstein also solicited Wolff’s advice about how he should handle Trump discussing their friendship in an interview with CNN. “I think you should let him hang himself,” Wolff writes. “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt.” Continue reading...

This is a civil war.

Lincoln had McClellan, Hooker and Pope.
He junked them for Grant, Sherman and Sheridan

We have Schumer, Durbin and Cortez Masto in our leadership.

Act Blue, lose my fucking number until we're clean of generals who can't fight or discipline the troops. No cash for this shit.

In 2008, when banning same-sex marriage in California was put on the ballot, Kate Elsley's commute changed. Seeing signs supporting the ban became a reminder of what she might not be able to do.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

If there’s one thing you do today, listen to Andy McCarthy who made clear that there is no case against Comey. It’s not surprising Halligan had to present the case to the grand jury herself.

Karen Attiah was unjustly fired by WaPo for soeaking the truth. One of the ways you can support her is by helping pay for her beloved cat's emergency care.

I’m struggling to engage with what’s going on in the U.S. at the moment. It’s a country I’ve always admired, and I’ve found studying the Civil War, especially the growth of US Grant, to be deeply moving and offering so much hope. But I don’t recognise the country or the people I’m seeing.

This is a very Nazi thing to say, actually.
Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own.

She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.
Batteries are so cheap now, solar power doesn’t sleep
Batteries are now cheap enough to make 24/7 solar power affordable, unlocking round-the-clock clean energy in the world’s sunniest cities.
