The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.
Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

We wanted to understand how regular Americans feel about the Trump administration. So we talked to three Russia-funded content farmers at a tea house in Islamabad.

I am not making this up, Chomsky loved Epstein: "He quickly became a highly valued friend and regular source of intellectual exchange and stimulation." Are there any prominent white doods who are not perverts?? Gawd these creeps.

ICE must die.
We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

Fighting back wins more times than giving up.
NEW: Trump's DOJ sent a subpoena to a gender-affirming care clinic seeking information on patients, including minors, and its insurance billing practices. The clinic—which doesn't even take insurance—fought the demand in court and won.

Am I the only remaining human who remembers Dubya helping the Saudis flee the US after 9/11?
Trump defends Mohammed bin Salman over the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi:
"A lot of people didn't like that gentleman... Things happen... He knew nothing about it."
A US intelligence report concluded that bin Salman personally "approved an operation" to "kill or capture" Khashoggi.

I would just like to continue to point out that there’s no way these people are being bought off for so cheap. The real story is in what they were promised that was not publicly disclosed

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.
