Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Authoritarian regimes make you feel like shit because they will never admit they’re losing. But Trump is losing — and it’s because of the organizing work you’re doing.

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

It is nice to see at least one conservative publication acknowledging the most blatant corruption happening in the history of the US by far, but this will never be mentioned on Fox or Newsmax. On those networks, none of this is happening.

Schiff on Gabbard's involvement in Georgia: "All of this is intended to send a message and the message is, 'We will not tolerate or accept an election that we lose.' That's why in these budget discussions we need to make sure, among other things, that we don't have ICE agents at polling places."

Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world? NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.

theguardian.comThe world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US | Bryan Armen GrahamThe real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

Congress has the power to subpoena witnesses, hold public hearings, and establish an independent commission to review the Epstein files. What remains unclear is whether lawmakers have the political will to use those tools.

Far-right influencer and Florida political candidate Jake Lang, who previously received a pardon for his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol riot, was arrested in St. Paul, Minnesota, after he damaged an ice sculpture that read “PROSECUTE ICE” on the grounds of the Minnesota State Capitol.

I want to thank everyone who posts gift articles of really important stories that all Americans should read but are behind paywalls so most can’t. There are some stories that are so important to the public interest that media companies should remove paywalls on some occasions.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

These words demand attention. “In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock Take a moment, so much more…

Neil Young. Still showing us the way all these years later.. If you haven't heard, he gifted his entire catalog to Greenland for free. He says he hopes it will "ease some of the unwarranted stress…you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government,”

America is completely out of control. A vile and inhumane government with a weak and largely complicit opposition party. It shocks me to see how little the American people are doing to stop this insanity. How can any of us ever trust this country again? Ever?
