Release the files unredacted.

“As the anti-vaccine movement continues to be nurtured by Kennedy and his followers, this threat will only continue to expand and grow more severe”. You can read more of the piece I wrote with @jimalwine.bsky.social for @livescience.com below.

Amen

So, if trump’s opening up investigations into only Democrats that are in the files, that means only Democrats’ names will be redacted, right?

Epstein survivor: "Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them."

Yeah, we’re not worried about the abusers being made “new victims” by having their names released. Nice try. #Believethevictims. #Releasethefiles

There's definitely a consistent theme with the Trump White House

Ah yes, the economic Golden Age of Trump where grandma goes without.

Can you think of a man you know— maybe a family member or friend— who you’ve seen dance like that with a 13 year old who he is not related to?

This is Lincoln Project's best one yet.

The most recent episode of the Criminal podcast followed the volunteers working to slow ICE in Chicago. I recommend all who want to help in targeted areas check that out.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

The Trump family is chasing another real estate deal in Saudi Arabia. And the Saudis want a mutual defense agreement and access to U.S. nuclear technology. Looks like Trump and the royal family will both win, with our national security for sale. The only losers? The American people.

Shameless corruption.

How busy is the fight for free and fair elections in court? My law firm is currently litigating 65 voting and election cases. 12 of these relate to redistricting. We have four cases pending in the U.S Supreme Court -- including one I am arguing this Dec.

If it were a hoax, don’t you think the plotters would have just had a set of victims accuse trump directly? I mean, accusing trump’s bestie and then leaving it to the DOJ to maybe connect dots to trump over the span of a decade is really playing looong game. And if It’s 3D chess, it hasn’t worked.

But does Marge have an understanding of what it felt like to be her opposition candidate when she was first elected? Because remember, she only got into office because her opponent dropped out after receiving death threats.

Chump's Pedophile Protecting 3 Stooges......

What I want to know is: are these two things related? Is trump just taxing us via tariffs so there’s more for him to raid out of our treasury? Serious question.

Dems: “Release the files!” Trump and GOP: “No!” Guess who’s implicated in crimes in those files.

This is THE message. Every Republicans who isn’t in those damn files should be worried about the prospect of being stained— permanently ruined— and labeled a colluder if they vote to keep them hidden.

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

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms: ✅He personally directs criminal investigations. ✅He is targeting opponents. ✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents. Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

I think people are missing the point with this Epstein thing. The question is not did he have sex with underaged girls. He did. The question is not did he have illegal financial transactions with Epstein. He did. The question is not did he serve as an asset and agent of Putin. He did.

Breaking….

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Everyone’s making such a big deal about these Epstein emails, and I’m thinking: I’ve always known trump is way, way creepier than that. I thought everyone knew. We haven‘t seen anything yet. the full scope of trump’s involvement in the sex trafficking of teenagers is much worse.

#Postpunk history made this day in 1978 with the release of "The Scream" - the debut album by #SiouxsieAndTheBanshees

35% of the feds I’m hearing from are pissed that the Dems caved, and it was all “for nothing.” 15% are just relieved to be getting paychecks. The rest are relieved to have pay through the holidays and planning to save up for the next round in January. Dems still have a chance to make this right.

The emails we’ve been seeing are from the Epstein estate. We haven’t seen the DOJ files yet. This is the tip of an iceberg.

What’s up with all the porn-ish content creeping into my feed? First, it’s half nude dudes. Now it’s anime coming into me. It’s weird and unwelcome. How do I make it stop? Is it because I added art and photography to my interests list? I just need something to break up the constant politics.

Medical Dialogues: 'COVID-19 vaccination lowers long COVID risk in adolescents: Study' medicaldialogues.in/medicine/new...

Republicans all have a choice to make in the coming days: Option 1: continue to spew BS stories to give trump cover for his statutory raping of teenagers and go down with him as complicit. Option 2: abandon trump to his own fate and salvage a shred of dignity.

I met the Editor in Chief of the Times during this era. He said, “I like big stories.” This would have been a big story— not the bikinis, but what was underneath it.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Pedophilia: sexualizing children who have not begun puberty (ages 0-10). Hebephilia: sexualizing children who are at the beginning of puberty (ages 11-14). Ephebophilia: sexualizing children who are in the later stages of puberty (14-17). Disgusting things we need to learn now because of trump.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.
