DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

The woman who told FBI agents that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was as young as 13 recalled that she and her mother received death threats afterward, with callers saying “we know where you’re at, you need to keep your mouth shut."
Here's a Miami Herald gift link.

I love that artists' styles are so ingrained that even when they were ghosting somebody else there was just enough of themselves for your husband to identify.

Note that the population also went up by maybe ~42%.
This is a huge and welcome change in opportunity from 25 years ago, but it works out at maybe a 28% increase (182/142) in employed women per capita, not an 82% increase.

It was a public service announcement during a repeat of a Superbowl from decades before, on ESPN Classic at 2 in the morning.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

I am back in D.C. to hear from cruel Kristi Noem on why she is complicit in the chaos happening at DHS, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein Donald Trump in, and vote against a DHS funding bill that does nothing to address the reckless actions we’re seeing from ICE.

The work continues.

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]

From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes:

NEWSREADER:

Extraordinary images here 

of an expat in Dubai 

[The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly]

…Having their first ever geopolitical thought.

[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. 

CLIVE MYRIE:

To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent

DAVID JONES:

Clive, this is momentous

It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’.

[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same]

You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.

It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts.

CLIVE MYRIE:

Which are…?

DAVID JONES:

You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, 
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.

CLIVE MYRIE:

And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?

DAVID JONES:

I think we can expect to see:

“I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To”

CLIVE MYRIE:

Mmm. 

[Ends]

DC's Future Just Got Very Complicated Column by Rob Salkowitz

Yes. When I lived in the States I had to look for secret sugar in *everything*.
Bread with sugar in it is not bread. It’s cake. That’s a loaf of cake.

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump

Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

Deputy @rodericogorman.bsky.social puts it to the Minister for Transport that while infrastructure takes time to build, the new BusConnects bus timetable for Galway already has many of the bus lanes - it just needs funding for buses and drivers.

I am always confused why cities and countries don’t just throw buses at their traffic problems until they reach capacity. Is it not a cheaper and quicker solution than all the others?

🚨 Big news for the littlest New Yorkers: 2-K is coming.
 
Starting this year, we’re delivering 2,000 FREE child care seats for 2-year-olds across our city.
 
By Fall 2027, we'll be ready to serve 12,000 kids.
 
Grateful to our partner in this work, @governor.ny.gov, for her support.

Do the Irish government know if and how Shannon Airport is implicated in facilitating operations that breach the UN Charter? Will they take steps to ensure that we are not complicit in this illegal war?

The idea of comics being "valuable" has been poisonous to the industry, and especially to Marvel. They spend their days trying to sell artificially-rare variant covers to a shrinking group of collectors, and have abandoned the idea of selling kids something affordable that they'd want to read.

Your local bookshop has a ton of manga, likely some of DC's Compact Comics books, and then a hodgepodge of other graphic novels in no particular order.
Marvel as a publisher only understand comics shops. They've never figured out the bookstore market, and have loooong forgotten how to sell to kids.
