Silly. Here's who "looks good:" The brave survivors, who have fought for justice for years; reporter @jkbjournalist.bsky.social, who single-handedly hammered away at the story; and the bipartisan coalition in Congress, who kept the pressure on. #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp #EpsteinFiles

Another superb article by my old friend Phil Gunson, this one in @foreignaffairs.com, warning that a U.S. military attack in #Venezuela could make make a bad situation far worse. @frrodriguezc.bsky.social @philgunson.bsky.social www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

More lies from Trump. The video from Democratic veterans urged service members to refuse to obey UNLAWFUL orders. Trump's minions are following the Nazi blueprint; repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it.

The difference between "war" and "ceasefire" for Israel is that they only kill 24 Gazans a day instead of the 75-80 they were killing before Trump's big triumph. us18.campaign-archive.com?e=38f12fc505...

Kudos to the editors at The Harvard Crimson. When I worked there, we never got Richard Nixon to cite us.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

A superb book, based on first-hand reporting, about how private equity is damaging our country. www.thenation.com/article/cult...

My old friend Phil Gunson is inside #Venezuela, working for the respected International Crisis Group. Here he eloquently warns that a U.S. invasion could detonate a disaster. @philgunson.bsky.social @frrodriguezc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/o...

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

All else has is failing for us Chicago White Sox fans. But the Holy Father grew up just a few miles to the south of our ballpark, and with him on our side hope springs anew. #PopeLeo

Nominate the current #HarvardCrimson staff for #PulitzerPrizes. I'm serious. They've already lapped the #NYTimes et al, and the revelations continue to tumble out. @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social @jfallows.bsky.social @garrettepps.bsky.social @petermshane.bsky.social

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

Trump is mucking about in an area that could get him in genuine trouble. His whole shtick is based on the premise that military leaders will remain loyal to him no matter what. But if he gives an illegal order and they side with Dems, he and Hegseth could easily find themselves in a military prison.

This report on the alleged complicity of #JPMorganChase in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking does not go far enough. Why does senior official Mary #Erdoes, whose alleged involvement has been cited, still have a job at the bank? @fairmediawatch.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u...

The Democratic Party faces big challenges and has lots of work to do to win voters' confidence, but the generic House trial heats from two national voter polls today put that in perspective. Marquette (certain to vote): Democrats 53%, Republicans 44% NPR/PBS/Marist: Democrats 55%, Republicans 41%

What makes this so important is that it socializes the idea among press and policymakers that the Trump-led government is illegitimate, which then serves to normalize the idea that political change independent of elections may be necessary.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

Nearly all the Venezuelans detained in the high-profile raid had no criminal record.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

I just received my health insurance open enrollment. Employee + spouse: $$525.09 Family: $702.97 I make $823.13 per pay period!! How tf am I supposed to also pay medical bills, utilities, rising grocery costs, gas, etc? And our president’s only concern is himself?? #SaveHealthcareNotPedophiles

Ozzie Guillen, former star player and manager, is a hero to us Chicago White Sox fans. Right now he's in his native #Venezuela, managing the Aragua Tigers in winter baseball. Is my country really going to launch armed attacks against his country. @pabloreports.bsky.social @dceiver.bsky.social

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Farm workers in King City are harvesting lettuce going as fast as possible so they can finish before the rain begins. A strong rain could physically damage the plants and also increase food safety risks. To harvest rapidly, workers are bending down and barely stand up. #WeFeedYou

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions. Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

The Jeffrey Esptein scandal the main stream press is ignoring; he was a major player in American foreign policy with deep ties to Israel and other satrapies: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

These lies are an actual official tweet from America's Department of Homeland Security. The peaceful protesters are NOT "violent rioters."

Alice Wong, a writer and activist who was born with muscular dystrophy and who fought relentlessly for equal rights and access for people with disabilities, died on Friday. She was 51. nyti.ms/4r9WqEr

A veto-proof House requires 290 votes. If we get this, or more in the House (and the momentum is certainly building) – the Republican Senators will feel dramatic pressure to do the same (67 votes). Release the Epstein files!

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

Trump is bombing boats in the Caribbean almost daily — no evidence, no charges, just killings. How did the U.S. get here? Greg Grandin reports.

Why is Julie K. Brown apparently the only journalist in America who understands and can explain the #Epstein case? @jkbjournalist.bsky.social

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Mainstream media prattles on, parroting the fiction that the "ceasefire" is going just fine. Well, it is for #Israel, not so much for #Gaza, the #WestBank, or #Lebanon. But most people are not hearing about things like this: aje.io/f6lizq

Today in @thenation.com: a harrowing account from human rights lawyer and Gaza flotilla member Thomas Becker of his kidnap and torture by Israeli troops www.thenation.com/article/worl...

A massive crime. In Trump's first term, he declared economic warfare against #Venezuela. So more than 7 million #Venezuelans fled; 800,000 came to the U.S. But now Trump removed their legal protections -- and wants to deport them. @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

We have a stunning story from @thomasbirm.bsky.social in @thenation.com. It's about how one of Israel's biggest companies, with deep ties to the IDF and illegal settlements, is taking over huge swathes of US real estate—with tenants paying the price. A MUST-read. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Parts of Washington, D.C. are arguably already a "dementia village."

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

It was an honor to be able to welcome Venezuelans and others to the US & help them reunite with family, after they were cleared by Border Patrol, from the end of Title 42 to 1/20/25. It is unspeakable what was done to so many after that, ripping them from their new home & sending them to hell.
