Epstein didn’t build the system—he refined it. The modeling industry was the real pipeline: visas gamed, girls exploited, silence enforced. Trump’s agency played its part. This wasn’t a scandal. It was infrastructure. And it didn’t collapse. It rebranded. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1CSK...

MAGA voters: Trump is in the files. Bondi knew. Patel knew. Bongino knew. And Trump thought you were so stupid that he could yell "ObAmA!" to get you to look away. Not only do they think you're stupid, but the guy who promised to expose the truth about Epstein may himself be implicated.

By a 6-3 vote, SCOTUS lets Trump fire the Dem members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, who are protected against removal by statute. Dissenting, Kagan says the majority is undertaking a “permanent transfer of authority” from Congress to the president. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
The result—an increase of executive power at the expense of legislative authority-does not stand alone. Just last week, this Court granted another stay allowing the President to ignore a federal statute. That decision permitted the President to push forward in dismantling the Department of Education, even though Congress created that agency and tasked it with performing vital functions. See McMahon v. New York, 606 U.S.
(2025)
(SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 1). If the majority had any valid basis for taking that action (relating, say, to the breadth of the District Court's preliminary injunction) it did not appear on the face of the Court's unreasoned or-der. See id., at _ (order) (slip op., at 1); id., at (SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 18). That order simply signaled that the President could carry on, even in the face of a conflicting statute. So too does this order, and with the same lack of care. The majority has acted on the emergency docket—with "little time, scant briefing, and no argument" —to override Congress's decisions about how to structure administrative agencies so that they can perform their prescribed duties. Wilcox, 605 U.S., at
_ (KAGAN,
J., dissenting) (slip op., at 5). By means of such actions, this Court may facilitate the permanent transfer of authority, piece by piece by piece, from one branch of Government to another. Respectfully, I dissent.

Russia has rejected the Vatican’s proposal to hold peace negotiations. Claims that Roman Catholics shouldn’t be involved in discussions between “Orthodox Christians”. However, Russia is okay with Turkey being the venue.

Our proposal for a May ceasefire is the start of direct negotiations without preconditions — Lavrov. He thinks a ceasefire will be used to "strengthen the Kyiv regime." Why can't Russia start the ceasefire today? Why wait till May? Russia doesn't truly want peace.

As an American living in the UK, I wonder if most Americans realize just how much Trump has irrevocably torched opinions of the US. People are afraid to visit, see the country increasingly as an adversary, and that’s *before* the tariffs. This is doing long term damage—and that’s in our closest ally

Text:

More broadly, it is frankly maddening that it took a military crisis to get Germany (and others) to shake off austerity brain. An entire generation of Europeans saw their career prospects diminished or ruined entirely; Greece and Spain endured a catastrophe on par with the Great Depression. But it should be emphasized that austerity also left Europe militarily weak. Without the austerity poison, its infrastructure would be in better shape, its economy would be maybe 20 percent larger, and it would be able to afford rearmament much more easily.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
