A future DOJ could convict the current AG and others because the Epstein Files Transparency Act is not like a Congressional Subpoena which expires at the end of each Congress.

But America needs to wake up. What we saw this week was intentional — Republicans used a heinous tragedy to foment hate, sow fear against marginalized communities, and silence dissent at any cost. There must be accountability.

Providence can now focus on healing: mourning the loss of Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov and Ella Cook and supporting the Brown University community. This city should be deeply proud of how it responded with care, resolve, and responsibility, even as others chose cruelty and chaos.

Despite that chaos, Providence persevered. Neighbors stepped up — opening doors, sharing footage, answering questions, and helping law enforcement follow real leads. Serious, disciplined work by the community and police brought answers, accountability, and resolution.

Let’s be clear: GOP officials and right-wing media didn’t just get it wrong. Law enforcement says their misinformation endangered innocent people and complicated the investigation — reckless interference that turned a criminal probe into political theater.

Officials in the US state of Rhode Island have denounced misinformation that they said complicated their multiday search for the gunman who killed two students and wounded others at Brown University.

This week Providence endured its worst crisis in modern history: a mass shooting that spurred fear, grief, and uncertainty in a way no city should ever have to endure. It was a crisis made dramatically worse by people who saw tragedy as an opportunity to exploit.

Mark Halperin has been reduced to peddling made up rumors from illegitimate sources in a desperate bid to stay relevant. This time, it fueled right wing conspiracies that endangered lives and threatened a mass shooting investigation. This is malpractice, not journalism.

Whoa. Mark Halperin has heard that the family of Ella Cook, the Christian conservative student who lost her life at Brown university, has been told she was the shooter’s target.

Just checking in if Trump’s Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights has a follow up on this?

Reminder: yesterday a senior DOJ official and a GOP member of Congress were pushing a wild conspiracy that Brown was “covering up” a mass shooting on campus, completely false and thoroughly debunked. Where is the accountability?

Just incredible that a Reddit poster, as confirmed by the Attorney General, was the key witness who helped crack the Brown University and MIT shootings.

I hope that Brown University student whose name and face were plastered all over this site for days sues every single “investigative journalist,” by the way.

None of them will ever apologize for inciting an internet mob against a grad student who is twenty years younger and from a completely different part of the world than the person who ended up being charged. Shameful.

A remarkable statement from the Rhode Island State Police — directly calling out despicable right wing influencers who spent the week spreading misinformation and actively making this investigation harder.

Conservative pundits spent the week insisting the Brown University shooter was motivated by antisemitism. Police have now confirmed, unequivocally: he was not.

Pretty weird that Trump used to be so eager about releasing the Epstein files — and then, in a national address the very week they’re supposed to be released, he doesn’t mention them once.

An absolute travesty that networks gave Trump airtime for an incoherent, partisan diatribe.

Every tech revolution—from steam engines to smartphones—needed more energy. AI will be no different. The real question isn’t whether AI will grow—it’s how we’ll power it.

A nationally televised meltdown doesn’t change reality. From today’s Quinnipiac poll: Who is more responsible for the current economy? 🔴 Trump: 57% 🔵 Biden: 34%

Absolutely insane that a senior DOJ official spent the day spreading a debunked conspiracy theory during an active criminal investigation.

Must watch: @SenWhitehouse calls out the “stupid” misinformation pushed by the GOP after the Brown University shooting — baseless lies that are actively hindering the investigation and putting lives at risk.
