Michael Reiter is one of the most important figures in the Jeffrey Epstein case who you’ve probably never heard of. Yet if Reiter had never been born, or had never become a cop, Epstein would probably still be living his best life.

[julie k. brown @jkbjournalist]

Of all the law enforcement agencies involved in the Epstein case, Michael Reiter and his lead detective, the late Joe Recarey, stood alone in the battle to put Epstein behind bars for good. In some ways, he has paid the price ever since.

President Trump just repeated his lie that China only builds windmills to export them to "stupid people from the United States, the suckers."

Reality: China has installed by far the most wind turbines of any country and is installing more of them far faster than any other country.

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

Here's some data from Global Energy Monitor as the president claims that China doesn't build domestic wind power and just exports turbines to "stupid people from the United States, the suckers." https://t.co/oD2XHp6WYw

Anyone who labels @bariweiss - who began her career as a left-of-center opinion columnist and then founded the heterodox Free Press - as MAGA instantly advertises that they are not credible and should not be taken seriously.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

@ProjectLincoln Trump is out to destroy every bit of momentum that previous administrations have done.

The Trump administration has been telling you they had screwworm under control for months. Now, it's here.

What happened? Trump and DOGE slashed funding for screwworm monitoring programs.

And the entire GOP let them. Thank them for today's new hell they unleashed on you.

Trump longs for an America where women smiled, deferred, and waited to be picked. That’s why he attacks women like @kaitlancollins. She has agency. She asks questions. She doesn’t seek permission. The women who challenge him are a reminder that the America he romanticizes wasn’t so great for women who wanted power of their own.

Tillis also says if the weaponization fund is killed by Congress it would bolster Blanche’s chances to get confirmed

[Manu Raju @mkraju]

Thom Tillis, walking into my live shot, makes news on two fronts.
He says he’s a NO on Trump’s immigration bill without amendment killing weaponization fund.
He warns he’s a NO on Blanche if any equivocation on J6.
If there is, “you don’t even have a (chance) of getting my vote”
