  1. yahoo news | As New Mexico investigates, questions are raised about Epstein's links to the... by undefined

    As New Mexico police search Jeffrey Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch for evidence of abuse, the state’s newly created “truth commission” is probing how the financier’s ties to powerful Democratic leaders may have shielded his activities. The ranch – an Old West‑themed hideaway where Epstein allegedly trafficked children between the U.S. Virgin Islands, New York and Florida – has become the focal point of a broader inquiry into the institutional failures that allowed the convicted sex offender to operate unchecked in the state.

    Investigators have documented that Epstein donated more than $160,000 to five New Mexico races between 2002 and 2014, often becoming the largest outside donor even after his 2008 sex‑offender conviction. He cultivated relationships with former Governor Bill Richardson and former Attorney General Gary King, both of whom met with him after his 2008 conviction; King’s 2014 campaign returned an Epstein donation once the connection was public. Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez, who represents the high‑plains area near the ranch, has questioned why law‑enforcement agencies never pursued complaints of sexual abuse at the property and why a federal child‑trafficking probe was halted in 2019.

    Epstein bought the 7,500‑acre Zorro Ranch in 1993 from a family that included former Governor Bruce King and his son Gary King, paying roughly $3.75 million—considered fair market value at the time. The estate, locally dubbed the “Victoria’s Secret Ranch,” hosted scientists, politicians, billionaires and celebrities, and was the subject of FBI questioning in 2007 about “masseuses” hired by Epstein. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez reopened the state investigation in February 2024, while the U.S. Justice Department and FBI declined to comment, leaving many questions about the extent of Epstein’s network and the missed opportunities to stop his alleged crimes.

    Hundreds protest President Trump's agenda in Augusta during national day of action

    Maine Public | By Kevin Miller
    Published February 5, 2025

    "Despite freezing temperatures, several hundred people gathered outside of the Maine State House on Wednesday to protest the Trump administration's chaotic, first two weeks in office.

    "The event was part of a national day of protest in state capitals. But #Maine's rally also highlighted the growing frustrations among some #Democrats and #progressives about what they say is a weak response from #DemocraticLeaders.

    "This movement is for the people and by the people. We do not need a party," said #NicholasJackson [my hero!] of Hallowell, who obtained a permit for the event after the local Democratic committee canceled a rally over fears of 'infiltrators.'"
