- @wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him
- 🔎 Emails show Jeffrey Epstein exploring ties to Somaliland and discussing a plan to build a film studio there, while separately receiving political briefings from a top Emirati official involved in Somaliland outreach. In an Aug. 9, 2012 email, a correspondent writes to Epstein about an idea to...

- Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."
- they're trying to be coy about salivating over the prospect of raping women, they'll contest that but if pushed to explain, that's exactly what they would describe. forced pregnancy of any kind, by a man or by the state, is gender-based violence
- New: Susan Collins raised more from AIPAC donors last year than small donors. We asked her campaign about it. They hung up. Last year, we asked if she knew how many Americans the Israeli military had killed. She replied: “I am pro-Israel.” @minnahfarshad.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social

- happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
- AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
- I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...
- CAIR explains how “America's loudest anti-Muslim extremist has spent years funding America's largest Muslim civil rights group.” 👇
- rural whites!! remarkable particularly given the likely media diet of that group bsky.app/profile/greg...
- Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll. And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration. This is digging deep into Trump's base. We detail these numbers on today's pod: newrepublic.com/article/2059...
- Nobody but sorry D-listers will play the Trumpified Kennedy Center and he’s going to shut it down rather than endure the humiliation.
- Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.
- ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org
- BREAKING: The Department of Justice left multiple unredacted photos of fully nude women or girls exposed as part of Friday’s dump of more than 3.5 million pages of files related to the investigations and prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell.
- Unlike the majority of the images in the released files, both the nudity and the faces of the people were not redacted, making them easy to identify. A note from investigators in the files said some images Epstein had were "POSSIBLE CSAM."
- “Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous,” a group of 18 survivors of Epstein’s abuse said in a joint statement reacting to the release of data exposing their identities.
- Amazing coda here.

- The project to distance Epstein’s associates and collaborators from his abuse, a project which has been taken on by the likes of Ezra Klein and people at the elite institutions that enabled Epstein, is a project to prevent fully understanding why abusers get away with it and how they can be stopped
- Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

- What's most amazing about this is the fact that the WSJ needed a “study” to figure it out.
- Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

- Minnesota's response is among the most beautiful examples of real-life antifascism I have ever seen. And it’s why, as deeply horrifying as these last few weeks have been, I am actually optimistic about the survival of American democracy. — TNR's Aaron Regunberg. trib.al/P6xAuYg

- “Elon Musk Asked Jeffrey Epstein to Invite Him to the ‘Wildest Party’ on His Island” Prem, for Zeteo, on how the Tesla & Twitter boss lied about his relationship with the pedophile financier, according to new emails released by the Department of Justice.
- I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.
