I'm practically in tears After 45 years of umpiring and advocating for other women umpires, I'm about to witness what I was beginning to believe would never happen: Jen Pawol will be in uniform on the field in Atlanta this Saturday for the Marlins @ Braves doubleheader. www.mlb.com/news/jen-paw...

So in anticipation of JD Vance's big Epstein strategy powwow tonight, quite a number of anti-Trump and anti-sex-abuse protesters have already lined up with rather disapproving signs outside the main entrance to the vice president's residence on in DC. I would've taken a photo, but I was driving.

NEW: Oil companies are holding back a large portion of revenue payments to the people they lease drilling rights from, often with little explanation. But the industry has an outsize influence in the state, and public officials have refused to take action. With @northdakotamonitor.com

Crockett: Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of shit—we know that. But in a functioning democracy, he still wouldn’t be able to get away with this. He’s been able to get away with it because Republicans are complicit and—most importantly—the Supreme Court is complicit.

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

Donald Trump calling himself a “leader on fertilization” was the second most hilarious moment of his debate with Kamala Harris.

@repjackkimble.bsky.social is by far the best GOP member of Congress, and everyone should follow his account. In fact I pray that @governor.ca.gov and the California legislature will leave his district fully intact. 🙏🏼

“…and now he’s asking every Republican in this room to be one of his prostitutes. Not sexually - philosophically. Do what he says, and you won’t be primaried. Defy him - and you’ll be punished. It’s that diabolical. It’s that simple.” Every American needs to hear this!!

They are so predictable. I said a month ago exactly what they would do, and here we are. They set up their scapegoat. It’s not their dumbass tariffs, it’s Powell, it’s the statistician, look at the squirrel! Started / Going

“‘It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal actions, especially given his statement two years later that his good friend Jeffrey “likes women on the younger side … no doubt about it”’ ...

... Giuffre’s two brothers and her sisters-in-law told The Atlantic in an exclusive statement, their first public response to the president. ‘We and the public are asking for answers; survivors deserve this.’”

Pay attention. His energy swings are massive now. Keep score. He's either hyper, yelling at, and interrupting people he's speaking with, or he's subdued, rambling nonsensically, and/or nodding off. There's a half day in between for recalibration. He's decompensating - in real time.

Seems this man traveled a long way to kill people. It's not a crime of convenience.

Exactly. Once they admit he’s done one bad thing, there can be no stopping point, as he’s a bottomless pit of moral depravity. And once they step on that slippery slope, they can’t escape their own culpability. So instead they look away, and lie to others—and to themselves.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

... against Luther ‘if the interest of the state demanded it.’ The nature of Hitler’s threats was unmistakable. Luther—who had already been shot once before in protest of his monetary policies—did not need to be warned again. … Luther submitted his resignation to the Reichsbank board.”

If you’re a former cop or prosecutor & your allegiance to Trump has you buying into this recasting of Maxwell, a prolific trafficker & rapist, into a victim, you have some soul searching to do about your political choices.

Have a Jeffrey Epstein question? Ask Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown, who first exposed how Epstein was able to get away with sexually abusing hundreds of girls with minimal consequences in her Perversion of Justice investigation.

After Steve Witkoff’s failure to resolve conflicts in Ukraine, Iran, and Gaza, can we agree at some point that putting a NYC real estate investor in charge of US diplomacy despite no experience or qualifications may have been a mistake?

"When Justice Department officials reviewed what Attorney General Pam Bondi called a 'truckload' of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, they discovered that Donald Trump’s name appeared multiple times"

Musk was correct.
