While vetting the Epstein files, the FBI created a list of prominent names mentioned in the documents—and they noted which people had "salacious information" about them in the records. Trump was on the "salacious" list. Bill Clinton was not.

Illinois is joining the World Health Organization's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network.

I refuse to sit by as Donald Trump undermines science and weakens our nation's ability to detect and respond to global health threats.

This read lays it out clearly with evidence and not hyperbole.

Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

Good stuff from @gregsargent.bsky.social.

I think we tend to overemphasize, esp. w/ Trump's mush-brain at the top, that their fascism is a kind of purely id-driven emotional impulse. But it's a real ideology w/ real theorists and tenets. Miller isn't an evil genius, but he has a real evil worldview

He believes immigration threatens Western civilization itself, echoing the same xenophobia once directed at his own ancestors

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!

Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Recently I've been spending some time with pro-democracy leaders from other countries organizing against national strongmen. Their stories of organizing against authoritarians are eerily familiar. Among the many clear takeaways: stand up to bullies and go on offense because defense doesn’t win.

To borrow from Jimmy Breslin, Bovino is a small Italian man in search of a balcony.
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino marches through Minneapolis surrounded by federal agents, shouting at American citizens.

This isn’t about deporting “the worst of the worst.” It’s about deliberately sowing fear and chaos in cities that oppose the Trump regime

In the attached segment Abe Newman talks about neo-royalism, a new term that makes the most sense of WTF is going on in Trump's head. This piece also features Rafael Osio Cabrices, editor-in-chief at Caracas Chronicles, which is equally worth your time. www.npr.org/podcasts/452...
