The manosphere influencer Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, moved to Romania a decade ago to build an online-pornography empire. They kept their recruits in a development north of Bucharest known as American Village. “I’ve done this with over 100 girls,” Andrew said, about compelling women into sex work. “I almost sound evil. But I’m not.” In 2022, their compound was raided by armed police, and a SWAT team was deployed to take the women in the villa into protective custody. Since then, the brothers have faced ongoing investigations into allegations of human trafficking and sexual exploitation, though they have yet to face trial.

The Tates agreed to meet with Heidi Blake for her investigation for The New Yorker. During her visit, the brothers strenuously denied that they had ever hurt a woman. “I’ve never done anything wrong in my life,” Andrew said. He insisted that none of the women he employed had accused him of crimes, adding, “They’re still my friends.” By the time police raided his properties, he said, “the webcam business—which, by the way, is not illegal—had been closed for ten years.” But that account is starkly contradicted by the accounts of more than a dozen women, who described being groomed, trafficked, or sexually assaulted by the Tates—as well as by thousands of leaked messages and the brothers’ own persistent boasts to their friends and followers.

They can call you the 'violent left' all they want, but you have every right to defend yourselves and fight back. Every fucking right.

A federal judge has voided President Donald Trump’s requirement of a $100,000 application fee for H-1B visas, ruling that he lacked authority to impose the new policy for a program used by companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers in specialized fields. https://t.co/7DyFBsurGA

A review by The Post reveals how Jeffrey Epstein cultivated a network of lesser-known associates, such as a New York City modeling agent, who offered to bring women into his orbit after he was released from jail. https://t.co/ChKOoWDMyc

A new USPS rule created to carry out Trump’s plans to restrict mail-in voting is an “unconstitutional attack on the millions of Americans who vote by mail,” the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) said.

Congress created the USPS as an independent entity from the White House, the union says. https://t.co/Kcw2CiKW9i

The Trump family generated at least $2.3 billion in profit from their main crypto ventures, while more than a million investors had net losses totaling $2.3 billion, a Reuters examination finds https://t.co/N8DvTPc6SM @specialreports

Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.

Nearly two dozen Epstein accusers told Reuters that speaking out sparked threats and relentless harassment, in some cases after Justice Department files exposed their identities. Some now carry weapons and live in constant fear https://t.co/nYQ8PA2yRW @specialreports

Tech execs warn AI could concentrate wealth so much it breaks society.

But AI didn’t build itself. It was trained on our ideas, funded by our tax dollars, & powered by shared resources.

If Big Tech makes billions from what we helped create, the American people deserve a share.

Judge Cannon has been sitting on the Jack Smith report for over a year. But the 11th Circuit looks like it's running out of patience. Here's what's happening and why it matters. https://t.co/k9eDX8Lg76

ALERT: 35 Former federal judges file motion in Florida asking court to *re-open* Trump's $10 billion lawsuit vs. his I.R.S.

Filing: "This court was deceived"

"The 'settlement' commandeers the contrived sum of $1.776 billion from the U.S. Treasury"

Massive bombshell. Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah warns that AI will displace human labor on a catastrophic global scale. He confirms tech elites have absolutely no mechanism to share the wealth, leaving the global poor completely abandoned to suffer. He is 100% accurate.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

America is slouching toward the 250th anniversary of our revolution against arbitrary power with a president who shamelessly exercises it. Never before have we witnessed this degree of self-dealing, bribe taking, usurpation of congressional authority, and open defiance of federal courts. https://t.co/OLRPXhEHqk

There are 64 secret ICE facilities we don’t know about and they are illegal because they are not meant for detention.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

This gentleman is spot-fucking-on. MAGA is a fascistic low IQ cult of bootlicking sychophants who are too fucking dumb to know they're the EXACT OPPOSITE of everything they used to espouse. 🎯🎯🎯👇

As though they had not been doing everything possible to sow distrust in our democratic institutions...that is the autocratic playbook.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Absolute bombshell. PBS confirms the US national debt just hit a staggering $39T, officially surpassing the entire size of the American economy!

Expert Maya MacGuineas warns the Trump administration's fiscal policies are entirely unsound and racing towards a massive crisis.
