Reminder that Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is sitting on Epstein's financial records showing 4,700+ wire transfers totaling over $1.1 BILLION in and out of his accounts, including payments to women and girls.
The American people deserve full transparency.

OXFAM HAD FIVE TIMES MORE FRAUD INVESTIGATORS THAN SAFEGUARDING STAFF. WONDER WHY.
Helen Evans was brought into Oxfam @oxfamgb in 2012 with one job: stop the sexual exploitation of vulnerable people by the charity's own staff.
She was handed the title of Global Head of Safeguarding. She was not handed the resources to do it.
By 2014 she had run internal surveys. Ten percent of staff reported witnessing or experiencing sexual abuse at the hands of Oxfam employees.
Seven percent in one country reported rape.
She compiled a report and tried to present it to senior leadership. She was blocked.
Here is a detail worth a pause. Oxfam had five times more staff dedicated to investigating financial fraud than to protecting people from sexual abuse. Fraud. Five times. The money mattered more.
What she had uncovered was that after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, senior Oxfam staff turned a charity-rented villa into a makeshift brothel.
The country director at the time, Roland van Hauwermeiren, was accused of paying for sex with women who were wearing Oxfam branded T-shirts.
Aid workers using the charity's logo as a costume. That is what was being protected.
Evans raised concerns. Management conducted a strategic review. She resigned in frustration in 2015. She then went to the Charity Commission @ChtyCommission.
They had limited email exchanges with her, stopped replying, and declined to meet her. A regulator choosing not to regulate.
In February 2018 the @thetimes finally broke the story. Evans went on @Channel4News and said everything she had been trying to say for six years.
Two parliamentary inquiries were launched. The Charity Commission launched a statutory investigation. Oxfam withdrew from government funding worth nearly 21 million pounds.
The charity that sent people to help the world's most vulnerable had been preying on them. The woman hired to stop it had tried for years.
She was awarded the 2018 Middlesex University Whistleblower Award for her trouble.
The sector called it a turning point. The same sector that took sixteen years to act on west Africa sex-for-aid allegations that first surfaced in 2002.

Four USPS workers have died at the Palmetto, Georgia mail sorting facility since it opened just two years ago, including Eric Smith and Demarcus Little, whose deaths have left coworkers searching for answers. Now, workers are raising concerns about safety and the inability to reliably call for help inside the building. No one should fear losing their life simply for going to work!
You want to know what imperial conditioning looks like from the inside?
It looks like a person who knows that the United States has the largest prison population in the history of human civilization, and still describes other countries as "unfree."
It looks like a person who knows their healthcare system allows people to die from rationed insulin, and still describes other countries' economics as "failed."
It looks like a person who watched their government spend $2.3 trillion over twenty years building a state in Afghanistan that collapsed in just 10 days, and still trusts that same government's assessment of which other countries are "stable" or "democratic" or "ready for self-governance."
It is not stupidity.
It is something more structurally interesting than stupidity.
It is what happens when the story a person needs to believe about themselves is in direct conflict with the evidence their own eyes can see, and the story wins.
Not because the evidence is unclear.
But because the cost of following the evidence to its conclusion is too high.
Better a comfortable contradiction than an uncomfortable clarity.
The empire is built on that choice, made daily, by millions of people.
Bernie Sanders is once again willing to tell it as it is. It always amuses me when these US tech titans accuse China of training their models on the data that the U.S. models stole from the human intelligence that they knowingly plundered from the Internet.
Every word from Bernie is spot on and we should salute him.
Lest we forget, Open AI is about to go public based on the theft of the talent of others. It’s the largest centralised government complicit heist of human knowledge in the history of mankind.
This bill Bernie is proposing will of course go nowhere because just as Big Pharma, Healthcare Insurers and the fossil fuel industry bought politicians, so have AI. This is why nobody has faith in the legislative process for these industries who have been declared protected species too big to fail.

Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview
Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.
Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.
Welker: Do you have evidence?
Trump: All I have to do is look.
Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow
Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.
Between Pelicot, Epstein, the so-called “rape academy,” Andrew Tate, and what has long been tolerated elsewhere, I wonder how long it will take to communicate that this kind of networked, scaled, systematized sexual abuse of women by men is not an exception but a norm.
For the past 9 months, I've been investigating Andrew Tate's empire of sexual exploitation — drawing on thousands of private messages and sealed court files, as well as interviews with the Tates, their associates & more than a dozen alleged victims. Here's what I found: https://t.co/q1L65EVG1O
Dear @SecRollins: You lie. The average life cycle of a Screwworm ranges from 14 to 54 days depending on temperature and humidity.
The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days.
If you can’t accept responsibility, or even apologize for messing up, you need to resign.
a lot of people dont care about insect biomass collapse bc when they hear we are losing 2.5% of the insect biomass per year they just imagine the cockroach and housefly population decreasing by that much. they dont realize those are among the only ones that will remain unbothered
Alan Dershowitz is named in a 2015 civil complaint filed in the Epstein case.
The filing states Epstein "forced then-minor Jane Doe Three to have sexual relations with" Dershowitz "on numerous occasions while she was a minor."

SEC Rule S7-2026-15 would let public companies hide bad numbers for six months at a time. Insiders dump their shares before disclosure, retail buys the bag. Comment is open until early July.
President Trump just posted on Truth to fire the parliamentarian in the Senate.
You are probably asking who is the parliamentarian and what’s going on??
Here’s a quick rundown.
FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.
Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f
Not enough people know that the DOJ is keeping the part of Trump's IRS settlement in place that shields Trump and his family from IRS audits.
That's *extraordinarily* corrupt. Don't let it fly under the radar. https://t.co/4I2ovkLZQq
@sandibachom Since Trump and his crew do nothing without a financial motive, I believe he knows how upsetting this is going to be to the Knicks and to their fans. Probably Don Jr and Eric have placed bets on these new probability sites like PolyMarket.
