The disparity between the accountability for associating with Epstein overseas and here at home speaks very poorly about the United States’ lack of genuine values.
British police said they were examining claims that the former Prince Andrew sent confidential trade reports to Jeffrey Epstein, as Prince William's office said he was "deeply concerned" about the revelations coming out of the U.S. investigation into the late sex offender.

Don’t know how many more examples it’s going to take for people to realize that billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and its institutions.

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Guess we'll need to start a list of Bari Weiss' hires who are in the Epstein files, to keep track. So far it's at least 3
* UATX: Larry Summers, Steven Pinker
* CBS: Peter Attia
Should make Bari happy that she's beating Harvard, which by my count has 2 Epstein file guys on its board of trustees.

Seems like the exact wrong time to look for ways to compromise with Republicans and exactly the right time to go for the jugular and secure the thousand year woke dynasty
Pew has Trump's approval at 37%. And:
"Only about a quarter of Americans today (27%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, down from 35% when he returned to office last year. That change has come entirely among Republicans."

There's a bill sitting in Congress that would end that immunity - and Democrats could right now use their sudden leverage to force its passage.

How Dems Could End Immunity For ICE Agents
Steven Miller and DHS are bragging that ICE agents have immunity. Democratic senators could change that by conditioning their votes on passage of a bill already in Congress.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Like, if Dems value the Atlantic alliance, they’d better (1) speak the f–– up for it, (2) make clear the pendency of consequences if Republicans break our treaty obligations to upend it, and (3) show at least the level of concern as they do about the price of eggs.
The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.
“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”
