Trump calls for release of any Epstein files naming Democrats: “Embarrass them”
Sane people don’t particularly care about child molesters’ political affiliations, but for Trump, raping kids is politics as usual.
30th illegal “drug boat” strike brings murder toll to 107
Each of the 107 killings is illegal, under American and international law, and the only source for the death count is the Trump regime, so it’s certainly higher.

News you need,
but might’ve missed
Former Sen. Ben Sasse announces he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and is ‘gonna die’
Well, that’s good news, and I certainly hope it’s a slow, painful death. The cornerstone of Sasse’s career was cruelty, including years of working for repeal of the Affordable Care Act. How much sympathy should anyone have, for someone who tried to kill huge numbers of people whose only crime is being poor?

News always and only from reliable sources, and I decide what’s reliable — no right-wing bullshit, no Substack because fuck Nazis, and no RawStory, Newsweek, or other clickbait sites. Written news is preferred; video links will be rare, and never to videos where a camera is pointed at a reporter or podcaster — that’s show biz, not news. When necessary, links lead to secondary sites that strip away paywalls, aggressive ads, or the original site’s dumbass design.
