Prisons across America are so understaffed that they are dangerous. I know this from covering prisons for four years. thehill.com/homenews/45704…
Maybe, if anything good will come out of this suicide, it’s that the public and powers to be realize how corrupt and inhumane America’s prisons are — and do something.
I covered more prison suicides and murders than I care to remember. One was a 25-year old kid who was gassed to death because he was only complaining that he was sick, and he was. He had a terrible genetic blood disorder. But the guards kept gassing him with spray until he died.

The phrase "sexually charged massages" should never be used in describing Epstein's victims. They were teenage girls -- and this phrase implies that this was something less than what it was -- when it was a crime under Florida law. palmbeachdailynews.com/news/20190806/…
Under Florida Statute 800.04(5), the crime of Lewd or Lascivious Molestation is committed when a person intentionally touches the breasts, genitals, or buttocks of a child younger than 16; or encourages, forces, or entices a child younger than 16 to touch another person...
...in a lewd or lascivious manner. At the very least this was lewd and lascivious, at worst in some cases, it was rape. This is not under dispute, the FBI identified 34 victims.

BREAKING: and PALM beach Sheriff’s scrambling to [fill in blank] continues...
miamiherald.com/news/state/flo…
I asked, MANY times for the sheriff — or any of his minions — to please explain the reasoning behind HIS decision to release Epstein. I got so many non-answers (all in writing, and some comical) that it could fill a 10 pages.
There is no way this sheriff — or any law enforcement officer — should be allowed to “investigate” their own actions, says those I’ve interviewed. The DOJ is the appropriate agency to look into this whole case which also involves....

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”
vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/h…
@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

@wdunlap “Attorneys for #Epstein say he obtained a foreign #passport under an alias in 1980s to defend himself from potential kidnappers while traveling in the Middle East.

worried about perils he faced traveling there as ‘an affluent member of the Jewish faith’”

@realDonaldTrump ⚡️TELL IT LIKE IT IS:
Dems are holding out for an amendment to include a handful of additional provisions, including requiring the Dept of Housing & Urban Development to release block-grant funding & money to help #PuertoRico repair damaged water systems.
thehill.com/homenews/admin…
@realDonaldTrump 🚨Listen up America:

The Dem-led House is passing bills that advance voting rights, protect our #healthcare & defend against #ClimateChange.

McConnell & the GOP are BLOCKING ALL OF THEM in the Senate, so who's obstructing? #FlipTheSenate #ProtectOurCare

@realDonaldTrump 🚨Listen up America:

❗️Our President has lied to you ABOUT THE AIR WE BREATHE❗️

Yes, the FALSE HEADLINE was ADDED to a real World Health Org map. In this one metric, the USA comes in 7th, not the cleanest.

This is BANANA REPUBLIC-STYLE govt.

1) If read, by the 3rd paragraph, you find that #TheHill's title leans heavily to the clickbait side of web antics. The controversies of #HRC/#Hussein actually go to the #FBI's handling of the investigation & apps for #FISAWarrants. #Graham's investigations would be a......
2) look into unfinished disclosure of facts that began to be brought forward in docs like the #OIGReport. The #FBI & #DOJ #Corruption would be the starting point & just what that would inevitably lead to is what has again stirred the #DCPanic.

3) visualizing the #Hussein era #FBI/#DOJ one must understand the #CultureOfCorruption that existed within its hierarchy. You were taught that you were innocent until proven guilty, that honesty & integrity were hallmarks of the #FBI & divs of the #DOJ & in reality that's false!

I don't know @KassyDillon well - I've met her, we've talked on Twitter, we're from the same high school (many years apart), but man, what she had to go through at Mt Holyoke makes my blood boil. And I have a few things to say about it. Mute now if you don't want to hear them. /1
And yes, I know she voted for Trump. After four years at Mount Holyoke, maybe I would, too. Because this isn't just left vs right: this is snotty elite groupthink at its worst. This is where Trump draws strength - as I warned in a piece in the Daily Beast back in 2016. /2
And yes, I'm sure many of you are shocked to hear *me* raging about elitism. I am happily the harshest critic of the working class - because I come from that class and I know how ghastly their stooping to Trumpism is. I know what it's costing them, in every way. /3
