Well played

A report released Monday by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee on President Donald Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein included new details from a young Swiss woman raped by Trump in an Atlantic City hotel room in 1993, whose meeting was arranged by Jeffrey Epstein. time.com/article/2026...

We may need to give the Democracy Gold Medal to the Georgians. This is beyond impressive.

A key takeaway from the leaked AfD emails: encouraged by Putin and the Kremlin, senior AfD leaders traveled surreptitiously to Syria to meet with Assad and Hezbollah. The Russian intelligence services orchestrated and supervised the whole junket with Hezbollah input. The whole episode reminds

Once Upon a Time in Harlem is a film that every New Yorker should see — and this weekend you can, at no cost. We partnered with the filmmakers to offer free screenings this Saturday and Sunday at the Lincoln Center, Film Forum, and Magic AMC in Harlem. Go to on.nyc.gov/seeharlem to reserve a seat.

In 19 lawsuits against states that have refused to turn over voter rolls, the DOJ has cited the Civil Rights Act of 1960. Judges marveled at the audacity of the administration to use a law passed to fight discrimination to keep people from voting.

Just as Macron and other French politicians have suggested, there is plenty of evidence that the force behind the riots in France is the Kremlin... and not "immigrants." Indeed, the Kremlin comments appears to be perfectly coordinated with a massive influence campaign designed to support Le Pen.

I hope I’m wrong, but I feel like Blanche opened this investigation to prevent discovery in any state probes like NM, or to prevent having to release any files due to an “open and ongoing investigation.” www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

🚨 NEW: A bombshell 44-page Senate investigation obtained by MeidasTouch reveals how Trump is opening the floodgates to corporate megamergers, raising fears of higher prices, job losses, and media consolidation. @macfarlanenews.bsky.social reports.

Dolly Parton's sister claims voting machines in Tennessee changed her vote to the Republican candidate.

Meta ordered to pay New Mexico $25 billion over Facebook data scandal

As delicious as it will be to see Oracle/Skydance/TikTok turn to dust once the margins get called on their unsustainable debt, the one company I loathe more than all the rest is Meta. Truly an immoral extraction machine offering near-zero benefit to society.

A U.S. envoy calling murderer Putin a humanitarian while visiting him in Kremlin — when after failing to achieve his military goals, Putin directs Ukrainian civilians to be hunted in the streets or executed in their own homes. Kids will read about this one day and ask: what was everyone else doing?

Woah. It appears that the anti-abortion “Ethics and Public Policy Center”—whose board includes Catholic Right SCOTUS “puppet master” Leonard Leo—is spearheading the push to strip the American Bar Association of its accreditation authority. 1/

Some facts about the 28 people charged today: - Every one was a lawful permanent resident. - 4 of the 28 are accused only of registering, and not voting, and only 22 are accused of voting in 2024. - The median and average age is 50 - 22 noncitizen voters = 0.0001% of the California 2024 electorate.

This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.

New, from me: One way that American elections have gotten better - maybe the only way - is the opportunity to claim some awesome "I voted" stickers. Here are my favorites from this voting season. (And please share yours). 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-best-i...

Marc Andreessen is constantly lying about his personal political views. As someone who was a Republican political consultant during the Obama years, I can tell you: Andreesen was a Republican. We all saw him as such. He pretends now to have been on the left. Nope, he was always a rw libertarian.

Don’t forget, this evil is coming from the very same political party that shrieked and wailed for decades about the need to grant legal rights to a fetus.

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Despite assurances from the Trump administration, ProPublica found the government has turned its vast security and surveillance apparatus against the Tohono O’odham Nation. “The drones flying over us all day,” one tribal member said, “it’s a lot.”

Peter Thiel's Growing Empire. The most revealing report yet into the AI company’s business across the continent, by a consortium led by Follow the Money, shows that Peter Thiel's Palantir holds €1.4bn of contracts—but that, as in the UK, doubts are growing about it as a partner.

Seems important to mention that Oregon is currently voting to elect our next governor, and the Republican challenger Christine Drazan has said she would veto any new gun regulations.

Perhaps the least surprising headline that is no less horrible to read.

Why this outcome isn’t predictable baffles me. Anyone who’s been paying attention over the past several years knows Meta is an anti-democratic, anti-humanitarian platform.
