Explosive exchange on Epstein.
Madeleine Dean: "You're under oath. When will you comply with the law and release all the Epstein files?"
Todd Blanche: "We have complied with the law." Dean: "There are three million more documents. And you know what you told me? 'They include someone else named Epstein.' No one believes that."
Committee announces her time is up.
Madeleine Dean: "Excuse me? How am I being cut off after only two minutes? The truth is, the president lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove it. There's a lot of evidence here. Everything is being covered up."
charles about how the taxi driver (who didn't recognize him after his monza 2019 win) might be the last time he could go somewhere in italy without being recognized:
"for like 20 minutes he spoke to me about 'that young driver,' he told me that the driver was incredibly talented, that he was bringing Ferrari back to the top, and that he had won for Italy, and he was obviously speaking about me."
[As the taxi filtered its way through the Milan traffic, Leclerc chipped in with occasional "grazie" between compliments. At first the taxi driver seemed puzzled by his passenger taking on a first-person role in the story, but continued to offer his analysis of the race regardless of the interruptions.]
"he kind of looked at me a little bit weird, and then i saw he understood who i was and I told him, 'yeah, it's me.' his expression ... I mean, his face ... it's a face that i'll never forget.
and that was probably the last time in italy that i could go somewhere without being recognized. since then, for sure, every time you go in italy for that race week, wherever you go it's craziness. to eat in the city center of milan now, during race week, it's now a bit challenging."

Collins: Do you want to respond to what the vice president said today, saying that there is something that is, quote, “very, very evil” about you?
El-Sayed: Well, let me tell you what’s evil. Evil is the idea of starting wars when there is peace. Evil is the idea of stripping away people’s health care when they absolutely have no other option. What’s evil is to do that so that you can pass a tax cut for billionaires. What’s evil is putting a data center that people don’t want in their backyard despite them. What’s evil is corrupting yourself because you want a little bit more power…
To come to Michigan from Ohio, where he's from, to tell us that we ought to pay for a vanity trade war, that his president is spiking with Canada. Well, that's a little bit beyond the pale, and I think he can go take himself back to Ohio, where apparently they like politics like that
🚨 BREAKING:
Kelly: "When Trump was bankrupting the Taj Mahal casino, I was taking fire over Iraq... When Trump was writing birthday wishes to Epstein, I was among the first to arrive at the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts... When Trump was pushing conspiracy theories against President Obama, I was sitting beside my wife's hospital bed... I've been through far worse in service to my country. The president and Pete Hegseth will not silence me."
That time at the beginning of the war against Iran when an unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.
Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before the president as a gesture of cooperation.
Then, at the last moment, the United States abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to turn around and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.
What followed was even more grotesque.
After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had thrown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.
This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.
It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.
And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.
The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear.
Over 170 Jewish entertainment figures have signed an open letter defending Mark Ruffalo after Paramount accused him of fueling “antisemitic tropes.”
Ruffalo spoke out against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger and said the Ellison family was complicit in the genocide against Palestinians.

Thomas Massie just dropped a bombshell on the House floor.
He named 14 Epstein co-conspirators.
And he’s demanding immediate prosecutions.
“Jes Staley.”
“Leon Black.”
“Les Wexner.”
“David Copperfield.”
“Lapo Elkann.”
“Tom Pritzker.”
“Glenn Dubin.”
“Frédéric Fekkai.”
“Edoardo Teodorani.”
“Jean-Luc Brunel, conveniently dead by suicide in prison.”
“Daniel Siad, recently discovered dead in Paris.”
“Ramsey Elkholy.”
“And Prince Andrew, who committed sex crimes in the United States too.”
“And women like Lesley Groff, not a victim, who conspired with Epstein to traffic other women.”
“We’ve introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act II to bring the fight to the state courts, accountability to the Department of Justice, and closure for survivors.”
“We want perpetrators of these crimes to be investigated and prosecuted.”
@RepThomasMassie
Ask yourself WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO CONCEAL THE LOCATION OF DATA CENTERS FROM PUBLIC VIEW FOR A YEAR????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It's not good.
South Africa has officially submitted a substantial dossier to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), detailing Israel’s continued non-compliance with legally binding provisional measures.
The submission, formally handed over on 25 August 2026, serves to assist an ICJ committee of judges tasked with monitoring the implementation of the court’s orders in Gaza.
According to the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), Israel’s non-compliance directly undermines the protective functions of international justice.
Hence, the submission is a vital milestone in the struggle for global accountability. By formally documenting Israel’s refusal to adhere to the court’s binding provisional measures, Pretoria is doing far more than advocating for Palestinian survival.

America really went into a country. Killed scores. Kidnapped the President. And is now siphoning its oil.
The world is silent.
If Venezuelans organize & fight back, attacking US interests, they’ll be labeled “t3rrorists”, correct?
You want to know what actual free speech looks like in the American context?
Edward Snowden told the truth about what the government was doing to its own citizens.
He is in exile.
Chelsea Manning told the truth about what the military was doing in Iraq, including footage of a helicopter crew killing journalists and laughing.
She was imprisoned.
Julian Assange published documents showing the gap between what Western governments said and what they did.
He spent years in an embassy and then a prison, and the country that lectures the world about press freedom led the effort to destroy him.
Meanwhile the people who lied about weapons of mass destruction and launched a war that killed hundreds of thousands:
They are on the speaking circuit.
They are on television as analysts.
They have libraries named after them.
This is not a paradox. This is the system working correctly.
Free speech, in the empire's operating definition, means you can say anything that doesn't threaten the machine.
The moment the speech has real consequences for real power:
You discover exactly how free it is.
this is the current situation of our house in pampanga. walang rescue, walang tulong, walang kahit na ano!
— malamang may may mag c-ccomment bakit ayaw pa lumikas? ang pag apaw ho ay biglaan. napakataas na ng lugar namin compare sa iba pero inabot padin. nagpadala na din ako ng rescue ( sa sarili kong pera dahil walang aasahan sa gobyerno ) pina rescue ko na ang parents at ibang kapit bahay namin now.
HABAGAT PA LANG TO. PANO KUNG BAGYO PA? KUNG HINDI PA KAYO GALIT, BAKIT? GUMISING KAYO UTANG NA LOOB!!!!!
.@NBCNews your own crew was attacked and you still platform Israeli propaganda.
It’s not a handful of rioters and they’re not “settlers.” It’s state-backed terrorism and illegal occupation.
