“As the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

It seems nuts to me that CNN has partnered with an online gambling site (Kalshi) and hypes their betting lines as “news” to report.

Trump’s New Voter I.D. Threat Is His Gravest Attack on Democracy Yet
The president says he’ll do it “whether approved by Congress or not!” He can’t legally do that—but that hasn’t stopped him before.

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:

"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."

He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

This piece also challenges the theory that the failure to indict these Dems shows system working (as @jvl.bsky.social suggests). I agree that in key ways institutional players are putting up vital resistance and I also tend toward optimism. But this level of corruption itself = systemic breakdown.

Colbert posted the interview online. I do wonder if CBS and the FCC are aware of the Streisand effect? The interview has been up for 8 hours and has just over half a million views.

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff

The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items

When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"
Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say
Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

This is a bombshell: One of Epstein's victims accused Trump of sexually and violently assaulting her when she was "13 to 15" and the FBI deemed her credible enough to warrant an interview.
