Your quiet reminder: Anne Frank didn't die in the gas chamber. She died of typhus and lack of disease prevention, while held in detention because the Germans stripped her family of citizenship.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:
Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.
Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

Imagine a CEO posting that racist video on their personal account, their chief spokesperson defending it and keeping it up for 12 hours, then blaming a “staffer” for “erroneously” posting it… and neither the CEO nor the spokesperson having to resign.

Demonstrating that Trump believes his cult will believe anything he tells them to believe, the White House announced that the shockingly racist meme posted on Trump's Truth Social account was posted by "a White House staffer."
It was posted in the middle of the night, so which "staffer" is that?

Fun fact: Under the speech and debate clause, members of Congress have absolute immunity from libel and defamation laws for statements made during floor proceedings and committee hearings. So take notes, y'all. And share the results later.
Hey members of Congress, any of you taking requests?
I've got very particular requests.

Former Ambassador Peter Mandelson described Epstein as his "best pal", with evidence Mandelson knew exactly what Epstein was. Mandelson's choices are simply resulting in consequences now. Deal with it, chump.

Since Kristi Noem is in charge of the Department of Homeland security, it is now official policy to have federal agents kick puppies.

Elon is sad that:
1. He didn't get to "wild" party at Epstein's island despite his email to Jeffrey begging to do that.
2. Now everyone knows about said email.
Also, Elon is generally a sad little misogynist white supremacist jerk.
