Soon, Pam Bondi and Howard Lutnick will testify before our Committee on Jeffrey Epstein.

This is a huge win for our investigation and the American public, and we’re not stopping there. Anyone with intimate knowledge of Epstein’s crimes should come speak to us.

Today, the court recognized that poisoning a residential community with toxic chemicals is a profound abuse of power by DHS.

Proud of our team @democracyforward.org. We must continue protecting the right to live in one’s home without fear of chemical weapons being used by the government.

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

Hard core! Apple peeling champion slices through competition to produce nearly four-metre strip of skin Though she lives with constant pain, Stanthorpe’s Kerrie Stratford still has what it takes to claim her 22nd harvest festival title

There is just so much to love about this story. Reading about competitive long apple peeling is like ASMR for me but the story has a lot of other good stuff.

Was that a later or earlier version of Z-80 - it was made by a bunch of different companies (or maybe just 2?) over its lifespan?

omg flashback to all those games - there was a pac-man clone that was first-person, and maybe a robot maze game from the arcade that was hallways (not tunnels) - but I don't know if I ever got them to work.

β€˜I felt doomed’: social media guessed I was pregnant – and my feed soon grew horrifying The algorithm knew I was expecting before I had had a chance to tell my family, friends or GP. At first, I was served up joyful videos. Then the tone became much darker ...

Or maybe has co-incident indicators that an algorithm has decided are likely bent penis

There’s an Italian semi-pro wrestler who enters the ring dressed like a pizza chef and knocks opponents out by throwing a pizza pie at them.
