As @briantylercohen.bsky.social points out, Mike Johnson and republicans are okay wasting taxpayer dollars to try to protect their boss because he may be included in files of his pedophile friend that he’d said for years he would release.
…also know as “Tuesday” in the #Trump administration.

A 2024 article reports #Trump flew on Epstein’s planes at least 8 times—mostly to/from Teterboro, NJ, the same airport where #Epstein was later arrested on sex-trafficking charges in 2019.
Flight logs confirm the trips.

In this 2009 article: In 2008, #Epstein got a plea deal to serve just 13 months in county jail (nights only) brokered with then U.S. attorney R. Alexander Acosta (Republican).
Victims were steered to settle for $150K each, Epstein denied liability.

THREAD: Jeffrey #Epstein and Donald #Trump Together in the Media
Over time I’ve looked at articles through my Newspapers subscription for coverage of these two.
I’m curious to further delve into my findings—but in the meantime, going to use this thread to just drop random things I’ve seen so far.

🥦On page 16 (Sec. 10102), the #BigBeautifulBill tightens SNAP — putting up to mil unemployed adults at risk of losing food assistance if they don’t meet stricter work requirements.
Note (pgs. 392–393): The bill also redefines “low‑income communities,” stripping resources from 30–60 million people.

More great people in Indiana’s government.
First it was Senator Jim Banks telling a laid of HHS worker that he probably deserved to get fired because he “looks like a clown.”
And then this jab at the LGBTQ+ community from Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita.

It’s been over 24 hours and Senator Cory Booker is still going strong and passionate.
Good trouble.
Thank you @booker.senate.gov.
I have not paid attention to any news today. I have just been listening to this filibuster. I hope our Republican friends can get inspiration from this too.

Anyone that watches @booker.senate.gov speaking can’t say this is an attack and waste of time by liberals and democrats. It is the truth.
Republicans need to join Senator Cory Booker, their democrat colleagues and the American people for the American people.
Not Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

He is still going strong — @booker.senate.gov telling his Republican colleagues what dismantling the Dept. of Higher Ed means, what they can expect in their areas, etc., and how rural schools in particular will take a hit.

Finishing out my birthday with Senator Booker, who just read Musk’s response to Joe Rogan asking why social security is a Ponzi scheme. Including all the uhs & ums. And now Booker is reminding everyone that it is something people paid into. Going strong. Good trouble @booker.senate.gov — thank you 🎉

For nearly a century, public research in the US has driven technological breakthroughs, ranging from medical treatments and climate-resilient crops to weather forecasting and the Internet. Each of these innovations was made possible by sustained public investment.

We are only nine weeks into this administration, and there’s already enough chaos to fill a book.
I got something recently that lights a fire under my ass when my flame starts to dim: this fidget ring.
It says, “keep fucking going.”
So when the going gets tough—just remember: keep fucking going.
