‘Big revelation’: FBI was ordered to flag Epstein records mentioning Trump, says senator YouTube video by MSNBC

Sen. Dick Durbin—the top Democrat on the committee overseeing the FBI—says agents were “pressured” by AG Pam Bondi to rush review Epstein records and “flag” any that mentioned Donald Trump.

The perfect July 4th sighting.

Former official targeted by Trump says the president is trying to silence critics “You don’t need a permission slip in the United States to criticize the president,” Miles Taylor told NBC News in an exclusive interview.

“That is insidious; that is un-American," Taylor added. " You can’t threaten Americans to not exercise their First Amendment rights because they’re fearful the president of the United States will prosecute them.”

Wasn’t the 25th Amendment designed for moments like this

My mother, too, I am sure.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Great "Hands Off" rally in St. George, Utah.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Musk Offers $100 to Wisconsin Voters, Bringing Back a Controversial Tactic By offering cash to voters who sign a petition opposing “activist judges,” Elon Musk’s super PAC can help identify conservative voters in a race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

How is this legal? What's next? Offering money to vote for their candidates?

USDA cancels $1B in local food purchasing for schools, food banks States have been notified that they will not receive 2025 funding for schools to buy food from nearby farms.

This is despicable.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.

Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

There are no "illegal protests" under the First Amendment.

This is just fascism brought to us by an ignorant old man drunk on power.

We Are All Less Safe Today, as NOAA Gets Hit With Mass Firings Splinter is your home for news and opinions that challenge power in our political and economic system that's becoming more unhinged each and every day.

NOAA returns/produces so much more money to the American economy than it costs, no stories about any of this should allow them the absolutely bullshit "savings" framing

REPEAT AFTER ME:

NOBODY VOTED FOR ELON MUSK

PASS IT ON.
