There it is.

#Republicans just BLOCKED the release of the #Epstein Files.

"MAGA didn’t just vote. They believed. They gave up family, friends, jobs—everything—all for the cause. And now, they’re left wondering: were we just pawns in someone else’s game? In someone else’s lie? Do they think we are stupid?"

~ Michael Cohen

"[Today] he called anyone who cares about Epstein stupid, from the Oval Office, while the Crown Prince of Bahrain awkwardly looked on."

"Americans may have wildly different motives, but everyone wants to know who flew on that damn plane and who visited that cursed island.

The people know that where there’s smoke, there’s fire. AND right now the smoke is so dense it’s become a Trump Towering Inferno."

"MAGA influencers, who spent years calling for full release of the Epstein files, are being forced to either oppose the White House or shill for it with some increasingly ridiculous arguments, further exposing them as fraudsters."

A perceived lack of transparency over the U.S. investigations into notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has carved a rare chasm between President Donald Trump and his typically loyal Republican base. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/16/world/politics/epstein-files-trump-pressure/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #jeffreyepstein #us #donaldtrump #republicans #maga #pambondi

Calls for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's resignation have prompted investors to protect portfolios against the risk of higher inflation, as a central bank more willing to lower rates could fuel price rises. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/16/markets/investors-fed-chief-ouster/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #jeromepowell #scottbessent #investors #federalreserve #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs #republicans

"I believe bland coverage of Trump’s horrors has become a national sedative. We aren’t outraged about the eight people sent to South Sudan who then vanished. We now take for granted that hundreds of Venezuelans are being detained at a notorious prison in El Salvador know for inhumane conditions."

"Trump was reelected in part because of his promise to strengthen border security, but now his administration is using attacks on immigrants to impose a police state."

"Which makes being strong-willed all the more important. Also important is remembering that this is a wildly unstable situation and what happens next is at least partly up to us."

Solnit appends a salient reminder of what inevitably happens to cruel, overweening dictators and dictator wannabees, as their hubris blinds them and creates the conditions for their downfall.

"Will we soon all be as blasé as these reporters about potentially thousands of our neighbors being disappeared to countries where human rights are routinely violated?

I fear that we will. I fear that we have normalized evil."

"Immigration lawyers said the new policy applies to millions of people, including folks who have been here for decades and have established families, own homes and businesses, and who haven’t broken any laws other than crossing the border without authorization (remember, kids, that’s a misdemeanor on the first offense)."

never ones to be particularly good at reading the room, the #boomers in the house #Republican caucus have decided to get in on the "covering up for #epstein" action

(they just voted down a resolution put up by #RoKhanna to release the unredacted epstein files)

"They are doing it in the most inhumane and economically destructive way possible to accelerate the process, encourage 'self-deportation,' and in their minds save money."
