Senator Sheldon Whitehouse discusses the Esptein Files cover-up by the Trump DOJ and presses on why they are hiding crucial information

Former AG Pammy Jo with the Bad Hair made it clear to House Oversight that Acting AG Todd Blanche (a/k/a Felon Trump’s Personal Lawyer) was responsible for the day-to-day handling of the Epstein Files, including its botched rollout.

Then we learned through that bombshell NY Times reporting Blanche was conspiring with Trump’s top advisers in the Situation Room on how to stop the #Epstein Files from becoming public.

Germans not understanding the violence in their own country 

I've been talking with like some normcore Germans recently and unintentionally let the topic get to the rise of fascism, and what came of it is that most people here don't see fascists as a *physical* threat, to them in particular. the fact that they are German and white means they never underwent street harassment for political reasons, let alone political violence. they think this is some niche thing that happens rarely and to someone else.

I don't have to ask to know that their threat model puts Islamist terrorism as a higher threat for them than nazis. I'm not even talking about the racism, I'm talking of this big glaring failure in their threat model.

like once someone asked me, as a loaded question, if I'm ok with some of us sacrificing ourselves, then (because I defend direct action). and I was like, the nazis have stockpiled weapons and post them on social media and romanticise pogroms in shooting galleries and tell us directly, "soon all of you will be hanging from the lamppost", etc. in what timeline do you live in that you imagine that does *not* involve them shooting at us? do you think what, we're going to get Die Linke in power at some point and the 30% of AfD voters will be like, oh welp, we lost, time to sell all those piles of ammunition on kleinanzeigen? let's close all the little nazi farms with the nazi communities running nazi schools to teach little nazi children how to be nazis and turn them to Montessouri?

what people here miss is that both times I was attacked with violence, it wasn't because I was trans, or immigrant, or confrontational. I didn't dress "political" back then, I didn't have tattoos, it was too cold for my body to be visible, and I pass as white. no one thinks I'm an immigrant until I speak, and even then they think I'm from somewhere in Europe, because Germans generally don't know that white people live in the third world, and nazis aren't known for their socieogeographical sophistication. no, in both cases where they made a first move and finally gave me the excuse to beat up some nazis, the trigger was, the nazis saw me removing white supremacy or pro-Hitler stickers that they had put on public spaces. (I've been also verbally harassed many many times for looking queer or dressing political, but every time so far they backed down upon confrontation; the times where I was downright assaulted, it was due to the sticker wars).

when you create a character for me in Tomodachi Life, don't forget my catchphrase: "you may not be interested in violence, but the violence is interested in you."

say you're on a major tram stop downtown and see a sticker that says "white race" (in English) and has a little logo of soldiers with raised hands (in German). do you remove the sticker, or do you lower your head and walk on? if you pick 1 congratulations, you are also currently under the risk of being bashed with a metal bat, as much as I was. the other day a young German couple was attacked with machetes in Berlin, and the trigger was they were seen leaving a leftie bar. the violence is already here and has been for years. if you pick 2 then I guess you can enjoy a violence-free life for a few more lines of that poem.

UPDATE: Now #Trump is ranting about the "Reflecting Poll" on Truth Social, a spectacular Freudian typo as the pool has gone to shit as much as his poll numbers have.

3 . The last legal slave freed in the United States was actually freed by FDR, who only did it because he was afraid America's enemies would use the propaganda of "these people still have slaves" against us in WWII. (Really. The 13th Amendment "abolished" slavery, but there was no enforcement mechanism, so people just kept doing the slavery until 1942.)

4 . Not counting prison slavery, which is ongoing.

So I just stepped in some dog shit, which of course reminded me of trump which reminded me that the trump/epstein files have not been dealt with yet. What is the holdup? It was his big promise to release all the files. Release them and investigate everyone.

Juneteenth is more than a holiday. It is the story of freedom delayed, denied, and ultimately claimed

On June 19, 1865, more than 250,000 enslaved people in Texas learned they were free—over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Our latest Aure Free Press deep dive explores the history, the struggle, and why the story of Juneteenth still matters in 2026

TWO DAYS! That's how long it took for the new Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding to fall apart. Iran has shut the Strait again because Israel refuses to pull forces out of southern Lebanon. THE MOU committed the US and “their allies” to respect Lebanon’s territory and sovereignty and end all hostilities there.

In Feb the #FDA🚨refused to even begin reviewing the first mRNA flu vaccine.

This week, the Vaccines Advisory Committee⚡voted unanimously that the benefits outweigh the risks for adults 50 and older - because the data supported it.

The way science should be done."

ICYMI: "After a three-year push, #Hawaii officially has implemented a shield law to explicitly protect providers and patients of #GenderAffirmingCare for the #trans community.

"House Bill 1875, also known as Act 059, was signed by Governor Josh Green—himself a physician—late last week. The bill explicitly adds gender-affirming care to its existing shield law, which broadly covered reproductive health, and established safeguards from “abusive litigation” coming from outside states."

I love my adopted home.

Imagine if you took your dad’s car for a joyride after you dad explicitly told you not to do it, and then your dad, a policeman, has to chase you down the road because he sees you driving his car, and then when you’re punished for 6 months for doing the thing, you still brag to your friends that your dad doesn’t tell you what to do.

Now … imagine this being International Relations.
