30 Rock-ass Reality

the epstein files (donalds version)

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court. Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

holy shit mike johnson is SHOOK on Epstein vote in Senate

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Lol, Republicans have taken themselves hostage and appear ready to shoot the hostage

everything this woman says about Trump these days has the MOST bitter ex-wife energy "I GAVE THAT MAN THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE AND THEN HE LEFT ME FOR LAURA LOOMER"

Time for the Nardwuar/Nuzzi interview.

There it is

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House. By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Schapiro

"Quiet! Quiet, Piggy."

“When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'” people.com/donald-trump...

oh my god you have to read this until the end www.telos.news/p/part-1-how...

every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”

He’s still Marj-posting

“straight up giving the president a bar of gold” is where we’re at now on the “corruption isn’t real” scale good work, John Roberts

Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump is lying about her interactions with him — and posted their text exchanges today about the Epstein files. A sitting member of Congress just posted her messages with the president of the United States.

Trump admin Is attempting to massive cut federal transit funds, seeking to: 1–Eliminate transit account, which funds billions of $ in capital expenses for transit agencies 2–Prevent state DOTs from “flexing” funds for transit These changes, if they occurred, would be devastating for US transit.

a “Space Force”, if you will

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

these are the same people that want to repeatedly inspect your childs genitals btw

Our deep dive into the recesses of Epstein's inbox found repeated instances of him seeking to exploit his Trump relationship. "I am the one able to take him down," Epstein wrote in December 2018. 🎁🔗 @jsgatnyt.bsky.social @nickconfessore.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Exactly. These emails are from the Epstein estate, not the DOJ. This is also what the email senders and recipients felt comfortable enough discussing to put in writing.

Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is NYT: but her emails

As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?" She did not respond.

Epstein: “[Victim] spent hours at my my house with him [Trump].”

I’m proud that the VEST team produced the precinct data needed for this lawsuit

“Rather than taking over the Democratic Party the same way the right took over the Republican Party, we should take the easier route and just start up a new party ourselves!” I’m about to fill my pockets with stones and walk into the sea.

Yep. Don't give up the party apparatus, organization, etc to the Vichy Dems. Kick THEM out. They're the ones who suck, not us.

"Rooftop solar is spreading fast in Jamaica, and people with panels got their power back almost immediately. The ‘entire neighborhood benefits,’ one resident said."

*gasping at the truth of it all*

A majority of the days the government has ever been shut down, Donald Trump was president. www.howtoreadthisch.art/red-versus-b...

The growing consensus on Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's order tonight: a horrible situation, handled strategically (from @stevevladeck.bsky.social) www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling? Via "One First," me on what's going on—and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it: www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

"biological pronouns" is an insane phrase

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Roberts now going at the solicitor general like a cat with a wounded mouse. Keeps telling him that tariffs are taxes on the American people. "Who pays the tariffs??" Says Trump's argument would neutralize separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches. Incredible stuff.

So, thinking about how to put last night into context, let's compare 2025 to what is generally considered a modern high water mark for a midterm snapback. Here's VA House of Delegates election 1 yr prior to the 2010 Tea Party bloodbath: VA Dems woke up this am w/ their largest majority since 1987 🤯

Universal swing in action: "What we saw last night was a directional shift toward Democrats in 99.8% of counties that held partisan elections." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/seven-data...

Unsurprising that, after his party got its ass whipped, Trump would lean into vote fraud horseshit. A little surprising, though, that no one has yet told him that anonymous grocery shopping remains not just possible but the norm.

There, my friends, is an urban-suburban-rural, multiracial coalition.
