“The bank executives knew Epstein was dirty, and they basically looked the other way.”
@wyden.senate.gov tells @crampell.bsky.social his investigation found Epstein’s sex trafficking operation could not have continued for so long without top banking officials ignoring the law.
Trump’s administration is quietly adding names of 17-26 year olds to a selective list in preparation as they are considering starting a MILITARY DRAFT.

Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”
Very important to watch. The SAVE ACT is MUCH WORSE than we thought. It’s not just about voter suppression, it’s a scheme to create chaos in certifying the 2026 elections.

Jamie Raskin said he reviewed an email sent from Epstein to co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell that was a forwarded conversation between Epstein’s lawyers and lawyers for Donald Trump.
The DOJ (illegally) redacted Trump's name in the public files.
What else are they hiding?
This is totally underreported. Trump is not just going after "illegals." He's going after people who were here legally, by changing their status.
These are people who entered the US the right way, and never broke a law. Now they are subject to Trump's whim, his ICE goons, and inhuman detention.
Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas.
Remember: these are people who entered the country legally.
Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.
George Will: "Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement. ... The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself" www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
Biden was NOT “a mean SOB,” nor “a bad guy.” It’s all projection as Trump shows HE is the bad guy, despicable and devoid of a moral compass every single day.
Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them.
And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.
We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.
"If we exclude 2020, when the pandemic wreaked havoc on the economy, the first eight months of this year show the slowest job growth in the U.S. since 2009, when the economy was still hemorrhaging jobs from the Great Recession..."

So, in other words, it's taking a long time to redact all the Republicans from the Epstein Files because there are so many of them. Otherwise, they would have already been released.
DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list.
He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."
So....
1)The state of Florida spent >$200 million to build the facility it calls "Alligator Alcatraz"
2) It opened in early July, christened by Trump.
3) Now it is closing, due to a judge's order.
4) It will cost $20 million to dismantle the center, which was used for about 2 months.
Release all of the Epstein Files with all the names of people who raped and/or helped traffic underage girls. Only leave out the victims names. Hold all the pedophiles and traffickers accountable.
Ron Wyden: I can't believe that he said it, but recently, a Treasury Secretary openly bragged about plans to use a back door to privatize Social Security and hand the benefits of working families over to those folks on Wall Street.
The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.
This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.
Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared
The Hegseth brothers (Pete and his younger brother Phil, a top adviser to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and DHS's liason to the Pentagon) may be collaborating to pressure Pentagon brass to get more involved in domestic law enforcement.
Seems like Dems should take an interest in that.
The DHS memo lays out the agenda for a July 21 meeting among top level officials from DHS and Defense Department. It was authored by Philip Hegseth (yes, he's Pete Hegseth's brother), a top adviser to DHS Sec Kristi Noem and liason to the Pentagon.

If you have a Republican representative, you should call their office each and every day demanding that either they hold Trump accountable or you will in the midterms.
They want to avoid accountability. Make it clear that’s not an option.
To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.
—With love,
Your American allies.
They are NOT the party of family values nor the party of Law and Order. They are the party of pedophiles, drunks, Russian assets, liars while under oath and certainly the party of incompetence—especially when it’s about war plans.
Obviously CCing a journalist on all this shows humiliating incompetence, but also… why the fuck is this conversation happening on a third-party messaging app, even an encrypted one?
🚨NEW: This is the CRAZIEST breach of national security you’ll ever read.
The Trump administration accidentally texted Editor of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, its war plans.
Vance/Hegseth/Waltz & others included Goldberg in a group chat on Yemen military strikes.
Read this, you won’t regret it.
They sabotaged Social Security by cutting staff, closing offices and making it harder get—especially for the most vulnerable seniors and those in rural areas. Now Republican Senator says they’re not being honest when they say they won’t touch it.
Musk was never elected, never went through the stringent background check and approval by the Senate required to do what he’s doing. He’s a NAZI from a family of NAZI’s and immigrated to the U.S. from South Africa.
Trump has signed an executive order to clear-cut 280 million acres of trees (even endangered species) in National Forests and other projected lands.
Everything this administration does is to troll Americans who didn't vote for Trump. Like, say, environmentalists.
Senator Ron Wyden speaks TRUTH TO POWER on Social Security! WE ALL MUST FIGHT TO SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY.
WE ALL MUST CALL OUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN A REPUBLICAN DISTRICT OR STATE! 202-224-3121
First she says “Musk is overseeing,” then appears to catch herself and remembers what she’s supposed to say he is…. Not revealing the names is certainly NOT transparent. Does she know what transparent means???
EXCUSE me?! The unelected, unconfirmed, apparently all-powerful person in charge of destroying our government from within must remain SECRET?! #TrumpCorruption#ThisIsAmerica now
Mrs. Betty is 100% correct. There is absolutely no reason other than greed and sheer immorality. Jesus Christ would kick all of those who voted for this out of the Temple. They’ll all burn in hell.
America is cutting $880 billion from Medicaid to force poor people to die so billionaire's can yacht.
We are such an amoral, Christian Nationalist country that hates the teachings of Jesus.
Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives.
Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.
