The memorial, honoring officers who defended the building and sustained injuries that day, was installed quietly by workers arriving three years after legislation mandated its placement
Who knew one dipshit could wreck the global economy in a week?
This @postandcourier.bsky.social investigation of the woman accusing Pres Trump and Epstein of sexual assault is excellent. The allegations remain unproven. But the reporters confirmed elements of her story, and blackmail by Epstein illuminates his approach. www.postandcourier.com/news/epstein...
As we all know: Neighbors, family and friends can be mean. In the Middle Ages, they had an instrument that made things even worse: they could accuse each other out of βHate and Spiteβ.
You want to know more about it: Listen to #CASFellow and member of the #CASResearchGroup βFemicideβ Sara Butler.
She never lived to see this moment, but itβs worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.
She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrewβs.
Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.
By my count in the last five years we have seen four sex trafficking rings involving the elite of entertainment and media, academia, finance, and politics with no discernible effects on our system and without us making it central to political analysis. Instead, pundits told us #metoo went too far.
ππ½ @gallego.senate.gov amplifying a witness who worked for Epstein swearing under oath Trump/Epstein threatened witnesses with death/disappearance if they revealed the child sex abuse she witnessed
I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.
An entire political movement founded on uncovering hidden messages in documents to discover the powerful secret pedophiles and meanwhile the powerful pedophiles out here sending gmails saying "Hi fellow pedophile when are we meeting to do pedophilia again"
Former Tennessee Libertarian party chair @joshuaeakle.com notices how many in Trumpβs cabinet/inner circle are in the files β and theorizes maybe this is no coincidence
Trump's new pick for Fed Chair makes an appearance in today's Epstein Files release:
This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012.
Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.

If this is the same Peter Attia MD who was just revealed as one of Bari Weiss's big new additions to CBS News, he can just tell the stories about the "outrageous" life Jeffrey Epstein led on the Evening News.
Think of the ratings!
March 14, 2025: Bondi says she has a "truckload of documents" on Epstein she will release "as fast as we can"
March 21, 2025: Paul Weiss settles with Trump
Hereβs Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for βthe name and email of the redhead that was here with you.β This is four years after Epsteinβs 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.
Pam Bondi telling Minneapolis that ICE will be recalled *only* when that blue city turns over its voter rolls is a clear reveal that this isn't about immigration. It's about interfering with upcoming elections that may not favor Donald Trump.
It's extortion.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:
"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."
and
"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

Just curious, is there ANYTHING that an ICE agent can do that Republicans will condemn as wrong? Anything at all? Or it just automatically defend ICE no matter what now? Thatβs who you are?
Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)
An NYT headline reads βFederal Officers Shoot Person in Minneapolisβ
It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
Masked federal agents in Minnesota just shot and killed another person.
We must put a stop to Trumpβs ICE. Now.
Stop the funding, stop the occupations, stop the killings.
I am asking my fellow Republican and Democratic Governors across the nation to have a unified response.
We must all stand against the lawlessness being inflicted in our states.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"
I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...
She was murdered.
A second by second video breakdown of the needless killing by an ICE agent of a woman attempting to leave.
And then ICE agents prevented a physician from approaching her, to check her pulse.
And then the responsible ICE agent departs the scene.
