The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed the Department of Justice for files in the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

It’s part of a congressional probe that lawmakers believe may show links to President Donald Trump and other former top officials.

The Republican-controlled committee also issued subpoenas for depositions with former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and eight former top law enforcement officials. The committee’s actions showed how even with lawmakers away from Washington on a monthlong break, interest in the Epstein files is still running high.

Absolutely, they should call it what it is instead of sugar coating it.

Thought this might be interesting for some:

The term dates to 1812, when Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry signed a bill redrawing state Senate districts to benefit the Democratic-Republican Party. Some thought an oddly shaped district looked like a salamander. A newspaper illustration dubbed it “The Gerry-mander” — a term that later came to describe any district drawn for political advantage.

The nation’s two most populous states — California and Texas — grappled for political advantage in advance of 2026 elections that could reorder the balance of power in Washington and threaten President Donald Trump’s agenda at the midpoint of his second term.

Thank you for all the replies, did not expect to get so many. In conclusion this is what we're going to do, while I also try to reply some of the comments here.

Have you failed to factor in human fallibility to your cost-benefit analysis for this gym membership?

We agreed if anyone is going to be late, then they should notify in advance.

Three times? I'd switch trainers as they're not respecting the time I'm paying them for. Five minutes late, thrice in a row? I wouldn't go back. There's plenty of trainers out there. 5 minutes is about 8% of an hour. If he's just driving in at 5 past, it's gonna be closer to 10 past before he's actually training you. He's not giving you 15% of the hour you have paid for, and if he does it 7 times, he's stolen a whole hour of training from you Go elsewhere. If they don't respect your time and money someone else will. Sounds like my hairstylist. I'm always her first client of the day, and I always end up sitting outside and waiting for her to get there. I get it, going to work sucks. She's good and I like the location, so I don't complain.

All valid points, but I'm going to give him another shot, just because he's a great kid with a great attitude during sessions. He has a big focus on form which I really appreciate to avoid get injuries.

Warm up stretches.

I walk to the gym, its not too far, then walk up 3 floors of car parking to the gym's back entrance (gym is in a mall and the main entrance only opens at 10.30am). Pretty warm by then! I guess that's part of my frustration. Happy to say I went to the gym today and everything was set up and ready to go by the time I arrived.

 

Happy Gilmore 2 may not live up to the razor-sharp cult classic status of its predecessor but offers a unique blend of warmhearted sentiment and self-aware silliness. It wrestles earnestly with themes of grief and perseverance while indulging in the kind of over-the-top celebrity cameos and callbacks that Sandler aficionados crave.

One of my all-time favorite movies. Maybe its time for my 50th watch!

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he will begin trying to remove Democratic lawmakers from office Monday if they don’t return after dozens of them left the state in a last-resort attempt to block redrawn U.S. House maps that President Donald Trump wants before the 2026 midterm elections.

He woke up late, won't happen again etc etc. I've got 4 trainers with the gym because I do 6 days a week but only 1 guy is always late. It's also distracting when we're working out and he runs off to swich machines on in the middle of a rep. They always want me to commit 100+ hours each time I renew and paid upfront, so I guess being punctual is not too much to ask. In a way waking up at 6am everyday prepping for gym requires some discipline, I expect no less from the trainers.

He'll improve for sure, until the English Premier League starts and Arsenal (his team) plays a late (+7) game on Sunday / Monday morning, then I'll need to have a conversation with the gym manager again.

Yea just did a couple of minutes ago.

[–] zero@fek.xyz 15 points 1 day ago (10 children)

Yes, my bad I also failed to mention it happened 3 days in a row.

[–] zero@fek.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

If you want more details check out the Wired article - https://archive.is/kko06 I remember reading about this a few months ago.

I pay by the hour, and I need to start sharp at 7 and finish at 8, then get ready for work by 9. If the gym is open at 7am, they should be in earlier and ready to go by 7am.

 

Went to the gym at 7am only to find it closed, and 7.05 as I was leaving, he was driving into the parking lot.

Edit: Happened 3 days in a row.

What changed?

 

When President Trump didn’t like the weak jobs numbers that were released on Friday, he fired the person responsible for producing them.

Janet L. Yellen, the former Treasury secretary and chair of the Federal Reserve, said the firing was not what is expected from the most advanced economy in the world.

“This is the kind of thing you would only expect to see in a banana republic,” Ms. Yellen said.

President Donald Trump on Sunday lashed out at radio host Charlamagne Tha God, saying in a social media post that the popular broadcaster “knows nothing about me or what I have done.”

 

The Senate left Washington Saturday night for its monthlong August recess without a deal to advance dozens of President Donald Trump’s nominees, calling it quits after days of contentious bipartisan negotiations and Trump posting on social media that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer can “GO TO HELL!”

 

In light of recently rewatching the South Korean action thriller Ballerina (2023) after viewing the 2025 Ballerina film from the John Wick universe, it becomes evident that these two works, despite sharing a common title, diverge sharply in tone, thematic ambition, and stylistic execution.

 

For all of President Donald Trump’s promises of an economic “golden age,” a spate of weak indicators this week told a potentially worrisome story as the impacts of his policies are coming into focus.

 

The federal Bureau of Prisons said Friday that Maxwell had been transferred to Bryan, Texas, but did not explain the circumstances. Her attorney confirmed the move but also declined to discuss the reasons for it.
