Thought it would be a good time to check in on this case: Marco Rubio buddy David Rivera, who was indicted 3 years ago for attempting to broker a deal for Maduro.

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE.

Available to download Friday, some Epstein files no longer there Saturday afternoon
An NPR analysis of the Epstein files shows some documents, originally available on Friday, are no longer on the Department of Justice's "Epstein Library" website as the DOJ releases more files.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

They ignore data. They lie about history. They are statistically illiterate. They ignore precedent & the law & the plain meaning of words in the Constitution whenever convenient. And then they have the Supreme chutzpah to complain that we are idiots who don’t show them enough deference & respect 🤷♂️🤦♂️
The blatant use of false, inaccurate histories to arrive at a decision the majority of the Court clearly wanted regardless of the facts is a feature of both Dred Scott and Dobbs. It’s an apt comparison. 🗃️
If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

![Notably, in assessing “irreparable harm” that Texas would face, the court also stated, “The District Court improperly inserted itself into an active primary campaign, causing much confusion and upsetting the delicate federal-state balance in elections.”
This is, however, a function of the timing of the Texas legislature’s action — not the challengers or three-judge district court — and it’s astounding to see an unsigned Supreme Court order accusing a lower court of such a “improper[]” act in this fashion.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreih537dkeovund3vctl7axemlzo7tit2xtvqt232zxumrfxzzuvu4y@jpeg)
