After reviewing unredacted Epstein files, an upset Lauren Boebert referenced “co-conspirators” and said she opposes any clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell, calling it “disgusting” and saying Maxwell should serve more time under much harsher conditions.

"Since Trump returned to the White House, Democrats have picked up eight Republican-controlled districts through special elections, as well as 18 seats in New Jersey and Virginia during those states’ regularly scheduled contests last November. Republicans have flipped none."
The GOP just had its best chance to finally flip a legislative seat in Trump 2.0. Democrats had other ideas.

Chasity Martinez just won a rural Trump+13 in the Louisiana House in a 24-point landslide—an overperformance of 37 points.

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits

An email from an unknown sender to Epstein, sent the day after Trump’s 2016 election: "You must be happy tho."

It then referred back to the weekend Epstein introduced Melania to Donald, stating that he repeatedly exclaimed "wow what a hot piece of ass" #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinCoverUp

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.

And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "How did this criminal get a pardon from President Trump? Did he contribute to the ballroom project? Did he buy some of that cryptocurrency and make the Trump family wealthier? Why are these many fraudsters getting these pardons?"

A Manhattan federal judge on Friday ruled that prosecutors would not be able to seek the death penalty at the trial of Luigi Mangione, the 27-year-old man accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive in 2024.

Wow:

Federal judge strikes down Counts 3 and 4 of the federal indictment against Luigi Mangione, which means Attorney General Pam Bondi's political ploy to turn the murder of Brian Thompson into a federal capital case has failed big time.

Needs to be standard procedure wherever and whenever possible.
Wow. The county is charging the Ilhan Omar attacker even though the feds are also doing that, because they don't trust Trump to not pardon the guy.
This was a disturbing assault on @repilhan.bsky.social, who is frequently the target of vilifying language by fellow elected officials and members of the public.

Mr. Kazmierczak has been charged with one felony count of terroristic threats and one count of fifth-degree assault.

Contrapposto is a small thing—a shift of weight. Allow the hips to tilt, the spine responds, the shoulders disagree. Nothing symmetrical. Just a body admitting it exists. We lean. We compensate. Philosophy made flesh.

That matters now. Life through opposition.
