Americans are well aware of public executions.

We all saw what happened to Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Thomas Massie: The Epstein scandal is “deeper and darker” than anyone imagined.

“It’s bigger than Watergate.”

“It’s bigger than Iran-Contra.”

“It’s not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.”

“There are degrees of evil here that we’ve never seen at this scale … ”

“Our government was compromised by wealthy, connected billionaires, and by Jeffrey Epstein himself.”

“At the age of 14, these girls that were being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were told if they could go find another girl to take their place, then they wouldn’t have to be sexually abused.”

“And some of them took that deal.”

“It’s one thing to be evil to a child.”

“It’s another thing to get a child to do evil.”

“The light sentence that was given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 that allowed him to victimize hundreds of more women, we want to know, why was he given that light sentence?”

“Cruel and unusual form of punishment.” U.S. Air Force Maj. Jason Watson is headed to the most severe form of military trial -- a general court-martial -- after calling for President Trump’s impeachment while in uniform at the U.S. Capitol. His attorney reveals that Maj. Watson has been kept in solitary confinement since August and could face years behind bars.

Trump’s agreement with Putin over diesel is a Russia bailout, when it’s at the verge of economic collapse. Trump is working for Putin. Period.

When they indict Cassidy Hutchinson it'll be a great opportunity for her and her legal team to find a way to put in the record the powerful 50-, 60-, 70-year-old GOP members of Congress who secretly propositioned her sexually when she was college-age (20)

This is Scott Kretzschmar. He is one of the Cornell rapists.
In the group chat, before joining in on the gang rape, he said “No more Jhu Fatties. Better not be a fatty again.”

So let’s review - he planned to rape her. He just didn’t want her to be “fat”. And - pay attention here - he said AGAIN.

AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A reminder that Trump didn’t build a helipad to improve the White House. He built it because he’s no longer capable of walking on grass!

What happened to Bernadette Greene-Placentia is an outrage. It took real courage for her to speak publicly about something so painful. The criminal who did this must be found and held fully accountable.

Thom Tillis says there will be pressure on Mike Johnson to not seat the new Congress if Democrats win

[Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins]

Sen. Thom Tillis on President Trump's Cabinet:

— Pete Hegseth is "the biggest regret of my career."
— Says he should have stopped RFK Jr. from becoming health secretary.
— Tulsi Gabbard won't be challenging anyone "for president of her local Mensa chapter. "
— Kristi Noem is a dog murderer
— Howard Lutnick quote is "nuttier than squirrel shit."

"I stand by all that."

Mighty strange indeed.

Relations appear to be so good between the Putin and Trump administrations that they are likely now sharing intelligence.

I guess this way there will be no paper trail…

Sorry, let me see if I got all this...

Dr. Karl Deisseroth was jointedly awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology yesterday.

He's a professor of bioengineering, psychiatry, and behavioral sciences at Stanford University, where he earned his medical degree and a PhD in neuroscience.

His Nobel Prize win capped off the past decade of earning other prestigious honors, including the Japan Prize, the Heineken Prize, the Horwitz Prize, and the Kyoto Prize.

He is married to Dr. Michelle Monje, who is a neuroscientist and professor of neurology at Stanford. She is also an MD and PhD.

Last year, she won the Brain Prize, which is one of the world's most prestigious honors in neuroscience. That capped off the past decade of honors for her, including the Ross Prize, the Marks Prize, the Lounsbery Award, and a MacArthur Genius Grant.

They have four children. They have a great home life. They are both respected and well-liked by their colleagues.

They appear to be two good human beings doing very good work in the world to help other human beings while balancing a happy and healthy family life and supporting each other's careers, both of which are among the most accomplished in their respective fields.

Did I get all that?
