Good thing Kash had the guy’s father turn him in on the Kirk case, and a homeless guy solved the Brown case for him, or nobody would ever get caught anymore.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

This was found in the batch of Epstein files the DOJ released today.

What was the criteria or justification for each retraction? And if Bondi has declared that Trump is not one of the people who warrants investigation, then there should be nothing in the files that warrants redaction. Embarrassment is not an option for redaction.

The next time you hear conservatives railing against "handouts for the poor," remind them that we should really be cutting corporate welfare — unnecessary and unwarranted aid for profitable corporations that are dependent on the taxpayer.

Those metallic letters in the correct font didn't happen overnight. This has been planned for a long time. So when Donald says he is "surprised" and "honored" by the name-change, he is lying. It was his plan all along.

The Kennedy Center is still the Kennedy Center, the Department of Defense is still the Department of Defense, and the Gulf of Mexico is still the Gulf of Mexico despite what these fucking clowns say

Once in a great while, for a special reason, presidents would come on air for a press conference. When they did so, they would announce a time and the PC would start then. 45-47 consistently is from 20 minutes to 2 hours late on starting. He lets the U.S. wait till he's ready.

It isn't your child's teachers or district responsible for telling you if your child is dealing with gender issues. Their duty is the health and safety of that child. That child lives with you and presumably you would observe a clue or two along the way - they are not invisible.

It occurs to me that when the head of what is intended to be an independent agency, such as the FCC, declares that the agency is NOT independent, what he truly means is that HE is not independent. He cannot decide that for the agency.

Doesn’t he have a mass shooting to solve? You know, the one at BROWN UNIVERSITY, Kash. Where TWO STUDENTS DIED? The suspect is still at large he’s on a podcast blathering on about his long distance relationship? The one where the taxpayers are, apparently, jetting her around? Do your job sir.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.

The next Democratic trifecta needs to do this, right away. Burning all the time & majorities first on The One Big Policy Fix doesn’t work. We have years of evidence on that now.

Another mass shooting—this time at Brown University. When Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban was in place, mass shooting deaths dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and Republicans let it expire, deaths skyrocketed by 239%. It’s the guns. No more thoughts and prayers.” They don’t stop bullets.

I normally don't get political on here but there are some students that survived the shooting at Brown University tonight that are survivors from shootings at their high schools. The US has failed it's children. There are just no fecking words any more.

The funny thing about a site casting out bait for hate-clicks is that they might get my click, but fifteen seconds after I get there, I resolve once again not to subscribe. It'd be nice to support Adam Serwer, but not at the cost of contributing to garbage like that.

May I just say that I am proud of the Indiana Senate? We may not agree on everything, but they did the right, ethical and honorable thing, which is all I've ever asked of an elected official. #Indiana Senate.

Our heroes serve with honor and show up every single day to do the mission—despite the risks.   And so we better make damn well sure that the mission is the right one. That it is clear and effective. And that it serves our national security.   Not one man’s political agenda.

Also happening today: The Indiana State Senate will vote on Trump's push for a new Indiana redistricting map Word is they still don't have enough GOP votes for passage Despite the intense MAGA efforts to 'convince' them 👇 www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

I just love whenever I read a story from the Associated Press that refers to the "Gulf of Mexico". Makes me both happy and proud!

“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year; it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” ~Rep. John Lewis. Image: US House of Reps.

If you get health care through your employer, your premiums are going up by an average of 26% no matter what.   Why? Because insurers had to set rates under the assumption Congress won't extend the ACA tax credits, destabilizing the whole market.   All thanks to Republican inaction.

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

So seriously, there must be a number of people who had the opportunity to copy the Epstein files and actually did it. Now if that person was me, I'd be debating on whether I could make a lot of money illegally by blackmailing people, or make a lot of money legally by just selling to media.

The reason to require government approval of big mergers is to prevent market-distorting concentrations of corporate power that harm competition and consumers, not so the president can distort the market in favor of ideological allies and/or solicit a bribe for himself.

SIMPLE MATH

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

there is this idea that we've accepted in modern liberalism that we have to accept all viewpoints and give them their permitted space to compete, and that nothing is truly evil, nothing can demand genuine punishment. we are learning this is quite wrong.

Why does it seem as though every time a MAGA case goes to court, the federal district judges deny them for well-researched and logical reasons, then it goes to SCOTUS and with no logic, reason or precedent, the verdict is overturned. Either the Feds or SCOTUS is consistently wrong - any guesses???

Jeffries should have had a brief conversation with Cuellar and said "friend, you got lucky - now disappear." BUT Cuellar filed for re-election this afternoon. What a cluster!!!

Either we find a more accountable way of issuing pardons, or we eliminate them altogether. This is making a mockery of our judicial system.

to reiterate a point from the column trump’s pardons of fraudsters and corrupt politicians should be understood as an expression of his belief that corruption should not be a crime

Can anyone explain to me what a "preventative MRI" is? Anyone? #MRI #trump

He doesn’t know what part of the body they did an MRI on. Sounds plausible. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

I'll bet rank and file DOJ have a dartboard with his face on it. Countless hours putting people behind bars only to have what they know is an illegitimate president sign a paper and release the criminal.

Look around. The case for more, not less, liberal arts education - actual, real education in reading, writing, thinking, arguing, analyzing, & synthesizing by doing the actual hard work for which there is no substitute - is stronger than it’s ever been at any point in human history.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Former US military lawyers speak out: "The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both." Statement on Media Reports of Pentagon “No Quarter” Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes 1/2

This bullshit of going after the people who helped us in foreign countries by risking their own lives to give our troops support on the ground, will make it damn near impossible in the future to get that kind of help again.

Two hours later. Who has been identified as the agency/head in charge of the National Guard shooting case? FBI? DHS? Patel's girlfriend? The shooter is in custody and apparently was one of the 3 people shot. Condition? Any info on the person? (cont.)

Our military—and our entire nation—would be stronger, safer and more secure if we had more patriotic leaders who respect the Constitution, like Sen. Mark Kelly— And fewer who are only in it for themselves, like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

And it’s going to require massive institutional reform, the sort of which we never want to talk about because we decide it can’t be done while we’re passing health care legislation or Build Back Better. If we don’t do it again, this time around, it will take generations to fix, & we’ll be here again

This is what we need, a representative that isn’t afraid to work hard for their goals. Someone willing to meet their constituents where they are. We have a chance to vote someone like this in on December 2nd. Go out and vote!
