A mere slip of a Texas country girl, seemingly coming from out of nowhere with a voice like Big Momma Thornton blowing away the Monterey Pop Festival

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Many survivors came forward, and we began comparing notes and working with people in Congress.
As we started connecting the dots, we realized that some of us were sent to the same person in Hollywood for movie auditions. Some of us went to the same modeling agency…

Looking back over my non-bird photos this year and the Mount Baker–Snoqualmie National Forest stands out in my memory. It is at the top of Washington, close to the Canadian border.
Such a beautiful place and we had such perfect weather.
This is Mount Shuksan as seen from Picture Lake.

Kelly: For any leader to basically say, “Shut up. You’re not allowed to ask questions,” I don’t know who Hegseth worked for when he served as a junior officer in the National Guard, but it appears to me they were not very good role models of leadership—because this guy has no idea what he’s doing.

Also Trump r*ped a woman and when she reported it to police had her murdered. Like that just came out today in the Epstein files. Haven't really heard much about it. Seems like something you should journalists should maybe follow up on.

They got caught. They’re backing down. But this isn’t over.
There needs to be a class action lawsuit.
Instacart admitted it was using AI to charge different people different prices for the exact same items. Algorithmic price gouging. That scam could cost a family of four $1,200 more a year.

Latest Epstein files name Trump multiple times
In the more than 10,000 files released Tuesday, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, said the sex trafficker was killed because he was going to name co-conspirators.

The US Department of Veterans Affairs has banned abortion for veterans, including in states that protect abortion. This was a Project 2025 recommendattion and it's now been fulfilled. So much for "leaving it to the states."

The policy will even apply in states that protect abortion rights.

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation
![. . . very cooperative, but the police at that point had to let [redacted] know that what she had done that she could be facing charges.
Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct?
A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted].
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
Q And what did he ask for?
A He asked for immunity for [redacted].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoss3vmzem55cm5kuddhdmwn/bafkreiariijffjjrgfh26o22jjr76pwprinvnbpkcho5lyi2sucfbqlooy@jpeg)
