There is only one reason Trump directed Bondi to investigate specific names in the Epstein files.

It’s so the DOJ can stonewall growing calls for their full release.

Not long ago, the DOJ declared there was nothing to investigate.

You are witness to the most blatant coverup in American history.

somehow Trump appears in Epstein's emails more than Epstein himself

Sexual assault survivors are seeing politicians and TV personalities fall over themselves trying to obfuscate the horror of what Epstein did. Turn cartwheels to protect his powerful cronies.

Imagine the message that sends to them.

Now imagine why sexual assault survivors don’t come forward.

"there's less posting on BlueSky" yeah that's why we're here
Bluesky has a growth problem

Bluesky has hit 38M monthly users, up 8M since March

Once adding 5M users per month, it’s now slowed to 1.6M. A 60% drop

But post volume is falling—more users, less activity

It risks becoming a ghost town with a loyal but shrinking core

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response.

She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

I expected the massive upward redistribution of wealth and income. The utter disdain for human life, health, well-being, tolerance, science, education, the rule of law and the constitution, and relish for cruelty, has gone so much further than I expected.

The New York City mass shooter had been diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses and had been the subject of two "mental health holds" in Las Vegas, but none of that limited his legal right to own firearms.
NYC shooter had two 'mental health holds' in Las Vegas. They didn't affect his legal right to own guns

Happy 60th birthday to the Voting Rights Act! This guarantee of voting rights to minorities was repeatedly reauthorized over the years by Congress. In recent years, voter suppression has resurfaced. Solidifying voting rights would seem to be an uncontroversial stance for Democrats nationwide.

I was just talking to my best friend in the world about our shared history of abuse by parents influenced by Dobson (and others of his ilk).

There are so many points of light that helped me deconstruct, but a visceral understanding that THERE IS NO RIGHT WAY TO HIT A CHILD was the biggest one
what's so chilling, to me, in all the evangelical parenting manuals i read and the testimony i received from survivors, is the idea in evangelical circles that striking your child in a cool and ritualistic manner is somehow better than doing so in anger. it isn't. it really isn't
Hello CPS? This one right here

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.
