Star Athlete Groomed by Coach, Dies Before Justice
Emilie Morris was a talented 15-year-old honour student and star cross-country/track athlete at Lindbergh High School in St. Louis. Her 29-year-old coach, Jim Wilder, began a sexual relationship with her.
Years later, as an adult, she reported the abuse. Police equipped her with a hidden recorder; in 2013, Wilder admitted to the acts on tape. He was charged with statutory sodomy.
In 2014, before trial, 35-year-old Emilie was found dead in her apartment—head in a wastebasket with a plastic bag over it, ruled suffocation. The death was suspicious, but no suspects were identified.
Without her testimony, charges against Wilder were dropped. He walked free despite the recording. Her family questions if her death was suicide or foul play.

Matthews: I will say that during my time working as deputy press secretary in the first Trump administration, Kaitlan Collins was the one reporter that scared Kayleigh Mcenany. And President Trump the most.
Jared Kushner admits his friend Nat Rothschild was the one who helped him find his new off-the-grid private island in the middle of the Mediterranean while he was on his boat on vacation.
Kushner says he had a private meeting with Albania’s Prime Minister on Rothschild’s boat.
The private island will be exclusively for the rich, the powerful, and the elites.
“We were on a friend’s boat, Nat Rothschild’s, on vacation.”
@Acyn@diggerjb I heard that staffers have recounted that traveling with Trump can feel like being held captive, as he actively paces the halls and chats with aides when others are attempting to rest. Now Rubio admitted that Trump is dysfunctional during the day.
Lieu: Instead of holding North Korea style cabinet meetings where everyone kisses Trump’s ass, I’m going to ask you to come clean—there is something wrong with Trump. There’s a reason he keeps going to the hospital and they keep giving him cognitive tests. We have not seen him in eight days.
Rubio: I assure this is not a president who sleeps or who is cognitively impaired in any way.
Lieu: I just showed you three videos of him sleeping.
Trump’s budget director Russ Vought is the most dangerous person you’ve never heard of.
And he just proposed turning every federal grant into a loyalty test.
His plan would make funding for cancer research, housing, transportation, and public health depend on one thing: whether it “advances the President’s policy priorities.”
Not whether it works.
Not whether Congress authorized it.
Whether it pleases Trump.
This is the appropriations power. It belongs to Congress and to the people.
To my Republican colleagues: where are you?
Congress passed this funding. You voted for it.
Vought is telling you to your faces that your votes do not matter, that he and his enablers will override the law whenever it suits them. Every day you stay silent, you give away the institution you were elected to defend.
Grow a spine.
This is not about left or right.
It is about whether Congress still exists as a coequal branch, or whether we have quietly surrendered the purse to an unelected hack who holds the Constitution in contempt.
History will remember who stood up and who looked away.

The federal government just banned bison from public land in Montana.
Not cattle.
Bison.
Interior Secretary Burgum revoked grazing permits for 950 bison
on 63,000 acres of federal land in northeastern Montana.
The reason?
Bison raised for conservation don't count as livestock
under a 1934 law.
Bison raised for meat and milk? Fine.
Bison raised to restore a native species to its native land? Get out.
Meanwhile, cattle ranchers across the West keep grazing on your land.
For $1.69 a month.
One cow. One calf. Thirty days. $1.69.
On land that belongs to every American.
The Cheyenne River Sioux. The Coalition of Large Tribes —
50+ Native nations. Defenders of Wildlife.
They all filed formal protests.
They called it exactly what it is.
"DEI for cows."
The bison have until September 30 to be gone.
Who decided cattle belong on public land more than bison do?

Pretty wild that the only times elections have been stolen in American history is when Dumbfuck J Trump is President. No other President has had this happen. I’m starting to think this guy Trump is just a huge fucking liar with zero respect for American democracy.
Mientras tanto, en EEUU, una abuela de 93 años, llamada Mary, que sigue trabajando en un cine AMC para pagar sus facturas, sin poderse jubilar, limpiando la basura que la gente deja atrás en las salas.
Este es el futuro del capitalismo, que trabajes hasta morir sin poder jubilarte para pagar las facturas de los seguros médicos privados.
This can't be real, right?
This is a joke, right?
Because if it is, she and her "private island" family are the most tone deaf, evil fuckers alive.
trump and his ballroom.
Ivanka's island.
You know who ELSE had a private island that was tight with your daddy, Ivanka???
WATCH: @andersoncooper shows video of a Trump throwing a tantrum and being a misogynistic pig towards @kaitlancollins — and other female reporters
(As the rest of the press stands there and says nothing)
Trump strongly denies that Netanyahu “tricked” him into war with Iran:
“He tricked me? I’m the one that started it—because they can’t have nuclear weapons.”
Perhaps extortion is a better word, as Netanyahu is holding the Epstein files over your head.
Trump suggests January 6 was an inside job: "The FBI said, 'Go in, Go in!'"
(Trump in fact was president during January 6 and he hand-picked the leader of the FBI.)
