Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition was not under oath. She was not video taped, which is very unusual for a deposition. And there are many cuts where they stopped the audio tapes so lawyers could confer with her off-the-record. None of that stuff is the way you do a deposition.
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏

"'What’s happening at the DNC right now is just farce. If you can’t raise money, you can’t register voters, you can’t put states back in play, and you can’t broaden the tent, I just don’t know what purpose you serve,' said a progressive Dem strategist."
“‘Nakba All Over Again': West Bank Palestinians Still Displaced More Than 6 Months After Israel Forced Them to Flee” The Israeli operation in Jenin, Tulkarm, and other cities, has displaced more than 40,000 people – the largest mass displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank in decades.

Exactly. It doesn't give him implicit authority, either.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Witches in America rn:
An ironic reminder that Trump has provided $0 to LA to help rebuild after the fires. None.
It's worth remembering the importance Rubio once attributed to USAID. . . and what an incredible hypocrite he is. #USAIDforever

"The American Slavery 2.0 project is a brilliant conceit precisely because it dovetails so many MAGA governing principles into a single, big and beautiful policy." — @schaller67.bsky.social
Nearly 70% of Americans support labor unions. Why? Because more and more people know that unions ensure workers get higher paychecks, safer working conditions, and a real voice in both the workplace and our democracy. It's what every worker deserves.
If you are a wealthy criminal defendant, it makes sense under this administration to hire the AG’s brother to represent you.

The only reason for Emil Bove to be still showing up for Trump administration photo opps (in this photo from Trump’s D.C. takeover, peeking out at top right) is that Emil Bove understands himself to be part of the Trump administration on an ongoing basis www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
She can’t be fired why would there even be an opening?
Donald Trump wants to turn the Federal Reserve into his own bank. We need to pause all Fed nominations amid his illegal takeover attempt and hold a hearing on how it will raise costs on American families instead.
Mike Johnson dismisses the unpopularity of the Big Beautiful Bill: "The individual provisions of that giant piece of legislation are wildly popular." CNN host John Berman immediately debunks that claim.
Sen. Patty Murray is calling for RFK Jr. to be fired. "We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired." "I hope my Republican colleagues who have come to regret their vote to confirm RFK Jr. will join me."
BREAKING: Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook has just sued Trump over his attempt to fire her from office.
Trump’s movement, just like his health, is deteriorating. MAGA is furious that he's been lying to them, covering up a huge pedophilia scandal. That's why the GOP is scrambling trying to cheat and pass every agenda while Trump is flailing, because they know their time is running out.
🚨 Trump regime border patrol thugs arrested 2 firefighters when they were actively fighting a wildfire.
This.
The Trump regime’s latest Executive Order creates a “quick reaction force” that empowers fascists from across the country to quickly become soldiers and terrorize Americans. They hope to instill fear and quell dissent nationwide. It won’t work. We the people will never stop fighting for freedom.
Reminder that this 22 year old intern picked by Trump to be the counter-terrorism czar decimated his office and decided to focus on immigrants instead of domestic mass shooting threats.
Fed. Gov Lisa Cook is suing the Trump administration in an unprecedented legal battle.
They are dismantling public healthcare.
Tech might have changed the fabric of San Francisco but all is not lost. We, the people, know what Thiel and Karp are selling is loser shit. They’ll get comeuppance before too long. #DropPalantir #PurgePalantir

From Dr. Demetre Daskalakis' letter resigning from the CDC: "It is untenable to serve in an organization that is not afforded the opportunity to discuss decisions of scientific and public health importance released under the moniker of CDC."
He adds: "I am not sure who the Secretary is listening to, but it is quite certainly not to us."
Donald Trump fired Lisa Cook, the first Black woman to serve on the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, last night over social media. We’re suing the FHFA for records that would shed light on Cook’s firing and Trump’s attacks on the Fed’s independence. americanoversight.org/american-ove...

PN today: "Perhaps most insidiously, Trump suggests that .. Marco Rubio and .. Kristi Noem should deport any immigrant who dares to burn the US flag-a legal exercise of the right to expressive speech which is protected by the Constitution. .." Very important context here:

BREAKING: The California Supreme Court rejects Republicans’ bid to block state officials from putting a redistricting measure aimed at countering Texas’ gerrymander on the November ballot. This marks the second GOP challenge to the state’s redistricting to be thrown out in one week.
Age verification laws for social media go far beyond just impacting people under 18 or restricting adult content — they make it harder for all of us to access information and speak freely online.
Quinnipiac poll: 56% of voters oppose Trump's decision to send National Guard troops to D.C. 41% support it. 61% of Independents oppose the effort.

DOGE put the personal data of millions of Americans — including Social Security numbers — on a vulnerable server in June, according to a new whistleblower complaint. The report alleges that the actions of DOGE staffers "constitute violations of laws, rules, and regulations, abuse of authority."
We’re suing the Department of the Interior and the National Park Service for records that could shed light on Trump’s politicized use of federal power, from enforcing cruel immigration policies to deploying the military against protesters. americanoversight.org/american-ove...
Congress must act now and protect our data.
A whistleblower has revealed that the Trump administration is uploading the confidential Social Security information of millions to an insecure cloud server, putting our data at a high risk of being leaked or hacked.
Republicans: Mass shootings: “it’s the price of freedom. Send thoughts and prayers” Homelessness: “Deploy the National Guard”
"In the released transcripts ... [Ghislaine Maxwell] participated in a brazen feint at 'transparency' for the Epstein conspiracy diehards threatening the MAGA coalition," writes American Freakshow author @ninaburleigh.bsky.social in this week's edition.
As kids return to school, another mass shooting has stolen young lives. Children shouldn’t fear their classrooms. Teachers shouldn’t risk their lives. Parents shouldn’t wonder if their kids will come home. We are the only country with more guns than people—and this is the devastating result.
Trump and his DOGE minions didn’t just make it harder for people to access their Social Security benefits — they also compromised sensitive data for millions. They took a chainsaw to the Social Security Administration and Americans are paying the price.
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
Imagine if Obama said it.
Breaking: According to Minneapolis police, two children — ages 8 and 10 — have been killed in the church shooting. 14 children and three adults injured. Minneapolis mayor Frey: "Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying."
