Breaking News: The homicide arrest of a prominent Miami real estate broker in the boat crash death of a 17-year-old girl comes after a witness surfaced in response to a series of articles about the case in @miamiherald.
"That witness spoke out after the Miami Herald published a series of articles detailing how boaters who were immediately on the scene after the crash were never contacted by state investigators."
The reason the story stayed alive is because reporters at the Miami Herald never let go of it. #localnews

There is nothing in these records that dispel anything about Epstein's death. In fact, the BOP records don't even say how they found his body. They tried to "wake" him up when they found him unconscious. Who does that to a hanging man? apnews.com/article/jeffre… adding: it's the wording of "waking" him up. You would use that word if they found him laying on the floor or in bed, not hanging. Since they also don't include any interviews with the guards who found him, or any inmates, who knows what happened in that cell.

Today I’m joining my Miami Herald colleagues in a one-day work stoppage as we demand a fair contract from @McClatchy. We need to protect local journalism.
I support My colleagues’ requests for fair pay, maternity leave and reimbursement for the high costs of equipment & travel. It’s well past time for corporate executives to support the rank & file journalists who sacrifice so much of their lives to put out a newspaper that they can be proud of. I for one spent years making ends meet by using check cashing stores. I drove a car with no windows. 2

Having spent 6.5 hours waiting at a Florida FEMA Covid site at Miami-Dade College, here's what I've found wrong: First, the site is not run by FEMA (the feds); it's run by a combo of state and local agencies who apparently don't talk to each other. (1) miamiherald.com/news/coronavir… 2. The traffic is run by Miami-Dade police, and they do nothing to let motorists know where they are supposed to go, nor do they provide any signage ANYWHERE along the route, telling drivers to stay right, for example. This literally causes chaos in & around the college. more

Tucker Carlson now doing a long sermon saying that the military’s heightened scrutiny of white nationalists, proud boys and white supremacy amounts to collective punishment against all white people. 😠 Now Tucker Carlson saying the poor guy wearing the horns who stormed the Capitol and threatened our democracy faces more time in prison than murderers & rapists.

Hello, NYPost "Decider"....I am sorry, but you need to be called out on a horrific error you just published online about "Takeaways" in the Epstein case. I rarely comment on these errors, but his one is so egregious that it hurts every victim in this story....(1)
@decider 2. Palm Beach Police were the ONLY people to fight for these victims from the beginning. REPEAT. The Chief, the detective, all FOUGHT like hell for these victims. For you to say the chief didn't believe them is a total, complete lie. Please get it right.

I haven't made it through all the documents yet but it strikes me as odd that names of some of those involved with Epstein and Maxwell have been redacted in this round, when there were not redactions before. Also, Ghislaine's depositions are still apparently being kept secret... In a depositionVirginia Guiffre (who was nicknamed Jenna) provided details the orgies at Epstein's island, and how Maxwell was sexually involved with many, many, many girls and women. She claims that Maxwell, for ex. picked up a redheaded girl to have sex with...

BREAKING: Despite calling the Jeffrey Epstein case "a national disgrace," a federal appeals court has ruled against Epstein's victims, saying that his plea deal, which included immunity for his co-conspirators, was legally executed. 1) 2. The court in a 2-1 decision, said that the rights of crime victims do not attach to a case until a defendant, in this case, Epstein, is indicted. The deal was negotiated before any indictment happened.

Perfect chilly night in Florida for butternut squash soup, toasted pumpkin seeds & thyme (and a Malbec). #floridawinternights Comfort food after dating disaster number (lost count) but it was clear he wanted to talk politics and how he loves Trump.
