Agreed. The MAGA hat racks are an impediment now. The coup has succeeded. The cartel is in power and has no intention of giving it up. In fact they can’t afford to because too many of them and their wealthy enablers are involved in the Epstein affair. It is too late. We will never see those records.

What is he thinking? There’s no point in trying to figure that out. Donald Trump is nuts. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMwutqdR/

Belgium was, in no small measure, rebuilt by seized German assets after World War II. And rightly so.

Our money is on Marge in this fight — all Trump is doing by attacking her is showing his MAGA base the only thing he has ever cared about is blind loyalty to him. Those Epstein files must be wild.

Sam torched Lindsey Graham and the rest of the Republican crocodile-cry caucus for stuffing millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars into the CR to quietly enrich themselves while pretending to be deficit hawks on TV.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

JD Vance recently said it was 30 million aliens. Do you guys just use whatever number comes to mind?

Search the files, just released by the Epstein estate. Not every name that appears was a participant in the late pedophile’s activities. But there are a lot of names. Search the wordTrump (skip the Donald part) and you’ll get 2,000+ entries. journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

Because there’s nothing more important to do than a photo op. (Whiskey Pete is screwing around with the lower left corner of that sign. How do you suppose he reached the other three? Nothing posed here.)

Whoa! Immigrants come here with nothing and the next thing you know they’re buying houses that established citizens cannot afford? Those enterprising newcomers sound like just the sort of folks we need. Never mind that JD’s premise is as BS as his 30M number.

NEW: The girl Matt Gaetz allegedly raped was an unhoused junior in high school, and was trying to save up money for braces. According to reports, he allegedly raped her twice - once on an air hockey table at republican Chris Dorwoth's party. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

She doesn't even say those dead people were necessarily receiving benefits. It's the same shit Elon Musk tried to pull with Social Security. 3 million people die in the U.S. every year. She says, "we found almost 200,000 dead people," but doesn't finish the sentence with "...receiving benefits."

Amid everything else I had almost forgotten that even without a pardon, Trump has offered Ghislaine Maxwell amenities unexplainable by anything but some sort of quid pro quo.

open.substack.com/pub/contrari... This visceral display of a two-tiered justice system and a presumed Trump orchestrated coverup to prevent the release of politically deadly evidence of his ties to the Epstein pedophile ring has the potential to deliver a solar plexus blow to the MAGA base.

QUESTION: If prices are down and not up because of tariffs — why is Bessent saying they’re going to lower tariffs on coffee, bananas, etc to lower prices? 🤔 ANSWER: Because they are lying. Tariffs are a tax on you, and prices are UP.

The July 2025 Green Fire occurred in the federally managed Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The federal forest service knows how to limit the exposure of firefighters to smoke. It involves science. But science is currently out of favor. So they didn’t. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

MAGA men are now saying the quiet part out loud: they want to repeal the 19th Amendment and strip women of their right to vote. Todd Beeton examines this ugly trend. Also, Jay Kuo unpacks the real failure underlying Senate Democrats' deal to reopen the government.

More choice means going back to the days when insurance companies could offer a blizzard of confusing plans intended to swindle people with fine print and legalese.

This is the best takedown of Musk I’ve ever read. From a beloved author around my age no less, Joyce Carol Oates.

Kashing in on his perks again, I see.

Meanwhile, vast areas of America’s interests abroad are left uncovered while the Trump administration prepares a sledgehammer to deal with a mosquito.

"Not a cent for health care, but Republicans wrote in a corrupt cash bonus of at least $500k each.” @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn taking corruption to new levels with this self-dealing. www.ksl.com/article/5140...

“Of course he knew about the girls he asked Ghislaine to stop” “That dog that hasn’t barked is trump” Not great!

ROLLING STONE: “Trump’s administration is marshaling vast public resources and more than $1 billion worth of taxpayer money to flatter the president” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NY and CA lost seats due to the 2020 census. FL and TX gained seats. Banks is testing to see if his BS floats.

Where are the flag waving, gun-rattling “Don’t Tread on Me" faux patriots who vowed to defend America against tyranny of any sort? They were all show and no go.

This is all thanks to the weakness of Merrick Garland as AG, and the weakness of Joe Biden to tolerate a complicit and ineffective AG! I so wish that some plucky Black female lawyer on social media had spent almost every day of the Biden admin screaming about and warning about the risks of that

So, the House speaker apparently has the power to decide will serve. Elections be damned. He need never seat a Democrat again.

They know the fool Schumer will cave again. The demands will be endless.

Khanna: And then it’s awfully convenient that those eight senators happen to be the ones who aren’t up in 2026—and they’re all consulting Schumer. People are sick of this. That’s why I called on Schumer to step down.

"It may not be much comfort for those bitter about what they see as a needless surrender. But there’s at least a chance that we’ll look back at this moment as a key turning point, one that produced a Democratic Party less willing to live on its knees." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

First, none of them look like this. Second, how does this flex “protect” anything?

New in PN: Cue the rebellion "The unfortunate conclusion to the shutdown is going to fuel a rebellion within the Democratic Party, one that has already begun but will only get stronger. And despite all the justified disgust now being expressed at Dems, in the long run it will be good for the party"

This is sheer perfection. (Posted in two parts)

We do not need or want a monstrous ballroom. It is emblematic of the sort of obnoxious excess that led to the founding of America.

To the 8 senators who voted to give up the only leverage they had and trust the GOP:

Trump, alone, controls them. They do his bidding, whatever it may be. Trump has ordered them to employ excess. Since they are operating under his authority they need fear no legal consequences. Gestapo, KGB, Stasi, Savak, Macoutes … ICE. No difference.

She’s right about accountability. Voters will not forget who sold them out.

Ha ha, we were only kidding. Don’t be mad at us, Donald.

Michael Rulli: "Jack Smith, in my opinion, this is treasonous. Let that word sink it. That's what this is. Jack Smith and his little clownies will destroy this republic. They say w/the snake, you cut off the head. If he's leading this, we have to let future people know we're not gonna put up w/this"

I am sick of the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party. They do not deserve our support. People suffered during this shutdown and overwhelmingly supported change but I’ll be damned if our leadership can accept it! It’s like they don’t want to win.

Wow I can't believe George Soros bought up all those seats and paid all those people to dress up as Commanders fans

Our leaders are rolling over for this asshole?

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

The American idea worked because we, as a people, agreed it should. It is hard to be optimistic that this is still the case.

Are Schumer et al really that gullible?

This will be disastrous.

Ok, but let’s just say that TACO actually is a Russian asset (which is likely confirmed by the Epstein files), isn’t crashing the U.S. economy EXACTLY what he’s supposed to do? I mean…don’t his actions more clearly demonstrate an intent to harm the United States, than to actually lead it?

Unless, of course, you were talking about secret police. But, then, masked or not, there’s no excuse for them in a free society either.

I like when you know they saw the post on twitter
