Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

President Trump defended Tucker Carlson on Sunday for his sympathetic interview with the white nationalist and racist antisemite Nick Fuentes, breaking a weekslong silence on an episode that had ignited bitter infighting among conservatives.

In another complete reversal, Trump is backing Republicans who want to vote for the release of the Epstein files because “we have nothing to hide and it’s time to move on from this Democratic hoax.”

In other words: they’ve been scrubbed.

This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.”
Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration.
Weird coincidence.

Well it won't let me use it on THE OPEN AIR cos I used it for this script last year. WTF? Since when did they put limits on waivers for scripts? It's once a year. It shouldn't be one per script. So I guess I'm not submitting.
#scriptsky should I use my free waiver and see if I can get an 8 on THE OPEN AIR to submit to this? The original draft got a 7. Being able to go to Sundance and talk about this project would be incredible. Or should I wait and use it on the new feature script, which is a horror dramedy.

Charlotte was once a place of slow, easy mornings, coffee cups clinking in cozy cafés, jazz drifting through open doors on Tryon Street, families stepping onto the light rail with strollers and soccer bags.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Trump is once again targeting federal employees he sees as “resistors.” With pressure mounting around the Epstein files, he’s unraveling quickly, and the scramble inside his administration is becoming more obvious by the day.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

I’ve been on Bluesky since almost the beginning and I’ve really loved this platform.

But with the bans of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social and Patton Oswalt, I’m wondering how much longer I’ll be here.

Hey @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team @pfrazee.com, get it together.
Narrator: they did.
Will Bluesky ban Patton around Christmas? 🤔

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

When you put it that way it almost sounds refined to dodge anti money laundering rules so you can bribe politicians / traffic children / fund terrorism or whatever else those anonymized and encrypted $500 million might do.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.
