The Justice Department will miss the House Oversight Committee's deadline for the Epstein files it subpoenaed. DOJ will "begin" providing records on Friday. The deadline was Tuesday. No indication of what DOJ will "begin" handing over and no explanation for the missed deadline.

The Briefing with Jen Psaki @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social · 19/07/2025
@edeggans.bsky.social, tv critic and media analyst for NPR, thinks the real test of Trump's influence will come when Paramount, whose parent company is CBS, decides to rein in The Daily Show's criticism of Donald Trump, or decide not to renew Jon Stewart's contract at the end of the year.

I predict that a few of us will be making the “financial decision” to learn everything we can about the business interests of CBS, Paramount and Skydance in order to do everything we can to make sure that not a single dollar of ours goes to them ever again. Integrity matters. #StephenColbert.

"Larry Ellison’s son, David, met with the FCC’s Carr earlier this week to get the merger ironed out, promising that CBS would embrace 'varied ideological perspectives,'" namely:
David Rhodes (a longtime Rupert Murdoch lieutenant), Jeff Shell (the appointed president for the Paramount-Skydance conglomerate, who reportedly pressured 60 Minutes executives ahead of the settlement), and Free Press editor Bari Weiss. (According to Belloni, Skydance is reportedly in talks to acquire Weiss’ increasingly Trumpy publication; if both the Paramount and Free Press deals go through, Rhodes and Weiss would serve as the “ideological guide” for CBS News.)

Re: Diddy being acquitted on sex trafficking charges, one of the reasons the MeToo backlash has been so effective is because the court system enables a commentary class to say the absence of a guilty verdict means that women and victims are liars. In reality it’s incredibly hard and rare to convict

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.
A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.

Now, with alt text, to ensure everyone fully understands exactly what we're dealing with with the 19-yo Canadian calling himself Big Balls who, along with a few other nerds, seem to have had exclusive control over the United States Treasury Department since Friday
Okay. We're looking at a skinny white boy with a haircut one can only describe as Skibidi Hitler Youth: completely shaved around the sides and back, with a curly broccoli poof the ipad kids wear so often. 

He's white. His face is that pink white that only looks innocent on white redheads, but his legs are tan. How i can see his bare legs to know they're tan, that comes later.

He is 19, and looks 16, tops. He is Canadian, and you somehow know that looking at him. He has a smug little baby brat boy look on his face. 

He is wearing a light lilac button down shirt, with what looks like a blazer his parents bought him, hoping he'd eventually fill out so it'd fit him, but he never did. The button down is untucked, hanging loose and longer than his too short but still oddly oversized blazer. The blazer is light grey, but not the kind of light grey that goes with his light lilac shirt, or his pink white complexion.

His arms are crossed in front of his chest, petulantly.

He is wearing light grey shorts, but neither the same light nor grey of his blazer. They are flatfront shorts, straight leg, and hit above the knee, revealing his tanned legs, legs much tanner than his face.

I hate him. He calls himself Big Balls. He has control over the US Treasury.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."
