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)

No one has ever apologized for being white. People have apologized for CRIMES committed against other races by white people. It has never been about race. It has always been about the crimes and suppression. JD Vance and this Turning Point USA Cult are agent provocateurs for the Republican Party.

That’s odd. As a white male who has lived in the United States for all of my nearly 60 years, I’ve never once felt pressured—nor been asked—to apologize for being white.
Equal treatment of others isn’t about apology or guilt. It’s about basic human decency, plain and simple.

5% of the population generates 50% of healthcare spending.
The GOP solution to cutting healthcare spending in half is to simply let that 5% die.
The only flaw in their reasoning (aside from a total lack of ethics and morality) is that sooner or later nearly everyone ends up being part of that 5%.

Republican plan A for continuing to show they can't govern: just mute Dems from responding or send the entire damn House home to avoid votes.
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
