And not to get too real on a late night post, but yeah. I am *so* fucking done with people acting like this is normal. That the president of our country can just flat out lie and it’s not a big deal. That an entire branch of our government has been subverted to the whims of a serial liar.

With the Epstein case, we either end up in a world where pedophilia, sexual assault of children, and human trafficking are endorsed by the United States of America, or we hold every single person involved in these heinous crimes accountable. It appears the Trump regime is trying hard for the former.

FBI, check this man’s hard-drive

not to absolve them of their other work, but every so often the Bee posts a banger

Olivia Nuzzi got sent in to do a profile but it turned out she wanted to fuck the subject so we sent in Jacob Bernstein to profile her and it turns out he also wants to fuck the subject

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

help i am dead.

Once you reach a certain threshold of wealth your brain breaks, you completely disassociate from reality. Wealth cap should be mandated as a mental health protection.

“Most recently” out here laboring away like it’s saving up for Christmas.

ok i'll say it. i actually think it is super weird to be simultaneously proud of being a diaspora jew in america and a hardcore, "ideally no one comes here whatsoever" nativist. these are obviously contradictory stances for obvious reasons

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...

Republican legal icon and Clinton scourge Ken Starr signs off a touching note to Jeffrey Epstein with "hugs." Amazing.

I didn't think anything in the Epstein release would surprise me, but Ken Starr signing an email to Epstein with "Hugs, Ken" surprised me.

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files: splendorous-chaja-f79791.netlify.app

Nightmarish idea for a startup tbh

*rockwell standing guy* we should abolish the filibuster so we can pass laws again rather than giant clusterfuck omnibus bullshit

I cannot believe I am unconditionally endorsing a message from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, but here we are, Father Bob was better at the dark arts of Church politics than anyone could have guessed.

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

petro is so beast

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

The creator calling churches and asking for help for her starving baby to test them is doing god’s work (pun intended lol), and it reveals what a lot of us already knew. The backlash from the churches who failed the test (many mega churches) has also been very telling.

Commentary: Not Sure How They Deal With Criminals In Your Town, But ’Round Here We Use A Restorative Justice Process https://theonion.com/not-sure-how-they-deal-with-criminals-in-your-town-but-round-here-we-use-a-restorative-justice-process/

Jesus said that it’s better “if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea” than to harm a child/push them to sin (Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭2‬) As a Christian, I call upon the “christian nationalists” in Congress to follow Christ’s teachings & protect children from our pedo President

Did Underage Girls Ruin Politics? Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

THAT is what she said that got people so heated?

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Let us be incredibly, abundantly clear: We are demanding that Chuck Schumer resign for his continued betrayal of the American people. If he does not willingly step aside, we are calling on the Senators in the Dem caucus to remove him and Dick Durbin from Senate leadership.

Anyway one of the populations this place is aimed at is TAY, Transition-Aged Youth, young people aging out of the foster system, and you can imagine how THAT is going over. Most of the people there are going to be, like, teachers teaching the younger kids.

The Shutdown stuff is taking center stage for the upcoming primaries, as it should be (Chuck Schumer is a complete sentence), but we must remind ourselves that there are active concentration camps operating on and off US soil. “Abolish ICE” should be the moderate position. Vote accordingly.

As I have said before, the broader silence on the ethnic pogrom of terror across this country is one of those things you can’t help noticing from the loudest special boy politics knowers on here.

Again, abolition is the centrist position

Kendrick, Joyce Carol Oates, Menswear Guy, and Isaac Chotiner are the Voltron of People You Don't Want Focusing on You

We just launched the biggest primary program in Indivisible’s history. Help us (literally) send Schumer and the surrender caucus a message. open.substack.com/pub/ezralevi...

Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot. Vote in your local elections! www.thestranger.com/news/2025/11...

It’s pretty wild that the local police union president has been telling national outlets that we need the national guard in Portland & sympathizing with federal agents kidnapping our neighbors but no local outlets feel like that is newsworthy.

thinking back to when eric cantor got knocked out in a primary in 2014

Yeah VanHollen is one of the few who might do true second reconstruction.

Van Hollen Senate Minority Leader vote when

The fact him or one of his staffers would post this on *this* platform is yet another sign of how unfit this man is to do anything other than retire.

I don’t care if Schumer voted no. If he’s unable to wrangle the caucus, he’s not an effective leader. I’ll continue to push for the caucus to elect a new one.

Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader. He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read. Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work. He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

to be fair, I don't think this will blow back on Democrats in the general electorate. I think it could prove fatal among the kind of tuned-in base voter that drives primaries.

Hey Chuck, don’t fucking cave.
