The media is still missing the biggest story in the Epstein emails. The emails show Epstein helped Russia blackmail Donald Trump. He was advising Putin's circle on how to control the US President. Trump is compromised. We need to make sure everyone sees this:

Dispatching ICE agents to hit "groups of pre-defined aliens specifically targeted by Leadership for action," the software allows the administration to order up a goon squad wherever they want, at the touch of a button. Like Uber for authoritarians. Let's call it repression as a service.

Nearly half of the databases that the CDC used to update regularly — surveillance systems that tracked public health information like Covid vaccination rates and hospitalizations for respiratory syncytial virus — have been paused without explanation, according to new research.

Dozens of CDC databases are not being updated — most related to vaccines, study finds

The agency plays a key role in tracking the disease spread and vaccination rates. Last year, it seemed to back away from some of that work, according to new research.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is: In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

A week ago we had an incident where there was a school bus with the STOP sign open and kids were getting on the bus and it was surrounded by ICE agents. And this is 7:20 in the morning and - just - you get that fight-or-flight response." At first her 9-year-old was carrying her passport in her backpack; now it's in her back pocket. "I have to prepare them for it if they get stopped," she says. "I said, Do not engage. This is not the time to be cussing at anyone.

Deliberation is under threat. Without common facts and shared epistemic ground, public debate becomes everyone yelling in their bubbles, not collective reasoning. The VDA framework highlights this as a structural fault line.

Verification is under threat. Information supply chains have become fragmented, platform logics favour viral over verifiable, and even traditionally trusted institutions struggle to anchor public belief. If you can’t agree on facts, the rest becomes theatre.

Why this framing? Because the crisis runs deeper than fake news, vaguely defined ideas of loss of trust in institutions, or polarisation. It’s epistemic collapse, when we lose a shared sense of truth, deliberation becomes echo-chambers, and accountability turns performative.
