I, for one, am shocked that Michael Bradley seems like a pretty decent coach. Absolutely no way anyone could have seen this coming.

THE 2026 SEASON IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY 🎉

The Department of Justice’s release of millions of Jeffrey Epstein files has not only prompted questions about his crimes
– but renewed attention on authorities’ failure to stop him after an accuser reported him in 1996.

This new cache of Epstein files has provided more insight into authorities’ familiarity with allegations against him in the years that followed,
including time between his sweetheart plea deal in 2008 and federal arrest nearly six years ago.

While it’s known that accuser Virginia Giuffre’s attorneys met with federal prosecutors in 2016 about Epstein to no avail,
recently disclosed files indicate that detailed information was provided to federal authorities years before that sit-down.
This included allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor; documents indicate that he appeared on the FBI’s radar about 15 years ago.

A woman, whose name is redacted from these documents, gave an interview to FBI agents about Epstein and Maxwell in 2011,
with a federal prosecutor in attendance by phone;
her account echoes Giuffre’s public and legal allegations against the sex traffickers.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search. But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

For anyone following the story of the Epstein documents, here is a website that seems to be the ‘go to’ place for people with technical skill to pool their efforts to look behind the FBI’s curtain. I have pinged the main person that put this site together and inquired how I can merge my work into theirs. Gotta love the name of the site.

A little reminder that it is okay to explore gender and different ways of gender expression. It's okay if the labels you started out with shift with time too, and you find other labels that fit you better. It's okay to not want labels. It's your life. It's your journey. It's your body. You get to decide what works best for you.

@elfunrokr I'm so proud of that young girl for speaking up.

Republican mayor Wesley Dingus gets arrested sniffing teen girls’ panties!
Ah, the smell of shame. Butler, Ohio’s Mayor Wesley Dingus (yes, that’s his real name), a member of the “traditional values” Republican Party, faces two counts of voyeurism after a teenage relative in his care caught him on hidden camera. Yet the same guy who lectures on morality and “protecting children” was allegedly invading a minor’s privacy for sexual gratification. 😡

@rbreich And no one has confirmed where the oil money he stole from Venezuela went. My guess is that bank account in Qatar. Plus the money paid from the TV networks, the universities and money that would have supported the government agencies he shut down including money to pay the salaries of all the people who he has unemployed.

An app called NonUSA is surging in popularity in Denmark; it “helps you identify and avoid American products in everyday life”. (Ironically, iOS-only for now…) https://www.the-independent.com/tech/us-boycott-app-nonusa-denmark-greenland-b2905574.html

The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications. Well, well, well.
