What a piece of reporting! From a lawyer, professor, former PD and HLS student of Alan Dershowitz⤵️
(🚨) Maybe the most important report I have ever written. Please understand that this is a long and harrowing read—it is not aimed at instant enjoyment, but a genuine and substantive (terrifying) education. What I can promise you is that if you read it you are not going to be disappointed. Seriously.
How the Sadistic Sex Games Trump and Epstein Played During a Seventeen-Year Friendship—As Told By Epstein Himself—Reveal the Epstein Secrets Trump Is Hiding
WARNING: This report includes disturbing accounts of sexual misconduct from an eyewitness—namely, dead pedophile and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump’s best friend for over a decade.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

This 👇🏽is a really good breakdown of what Zohran has actually said, and why the smears calling him antisemitic are so (intentionally) disingenuous — including from his fellow Democrats.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

I'm surprised @ericstephen.bsky.social didn't comment on that camera change that made it look like Pages threw to Tyler Rogers in the visitors' bullpen. He comments on all that silliness.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.
