Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky Roberts says Todd Blanche showed a "complete lack of humanity" toward survivors, recalling Blanche telling him: "Virginia is not here. Your sister's not here to provide that testimony," despite evidence Giuffre provided implicating Prince Andrew.

It's so breathtakingly crass to treat the deaths of Americans serving in the military as some contest, a contest that, in your twisted, rotting mind, you think you can brag about winning. There is no reverence, sanity, solemnity, or decorum in this vile regime.

We had a marvelous first muck dive at Dauin. Visibility was 30M and the water was wonderfully warm! I got my first good footage of a skeleton shrimp, some beautiful nudibranchs, a pair of snowflake morays, ubiquitous garden eels, and a kaleidoscope of colorful fish. We go back down in an hour!

Artemis II Return
NASA's Orion spacecraft carrying Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA, along with Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency), splashes down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California, at 5:07 p.m. PDT, (8:07 p.m. EDT) on Friday, April 10, 2026. The Artemis II test flight launched on Wednesday, April 1, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin its 10-day journey around the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars. NASA’s Landing and Recovery team and the U.S. military are coordinating efforts to extract the Artemis II crew from the Orion spacecraft. Credit: NASA/Josh Valcarcel

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Yesterday we were all waiting in the Epstein line. Today, the entire country has turned into investigators, tracking which files are disappearing. Sixteen gone so far. There’s been a remarkable amount of teamwork, with people working together to identify the missing documents.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇
Russ Vought (piss man) tweet about doing piss man shit: The National Science Foundation will be breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. This facility is one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country. A comprehensive review is underway & any vital activities such as weather research will be moved to another entity or location.
