Having gotten my hands on an advance copy, I surely felt many different emotions: anger, disgust, dismay, confusion as to why anyone thought this was a good idea, and bemusement about how this is what Brett Ratner's life has been reduced to.

Of course he does. Is this a joke? He defended the guy who killed Good. He’s told multiple people that he thinks protesters should be attacked. He told people at a rally to rough someone up. He’s said nothing as ICE has hurt people for months. He doesn’t get to walk away from this now.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

ICE shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today "After the shooting, an angry crowd gathered...One officer responded mockingly as he walked away, telling them: “Boo hoo.” Agents elsewhere shoved a yelling protester into a car." Hell is not hot enough

When will it be enough for you, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? When will you be moved? You should be standing in the streets of Minneapolis. You should be shouting from the rooftops. What a pathetic pair of cowards.

People are missing a big thing about the saga of the detained 5-year-old. When Vance calls the father an "illegal alien" it seems to reflect a little-known Trump admin move that attempts to nullify asylum claims before they are even heard. This policy is a horror: newrepublic.com/article/2056...

I do not understand why Dems (or someone) are not broadcasting wall to wall montages of ICE thugs abusing our neighbors, abducting children, terrorizing US citizens, invading homes w no warrant, or murdering mothers. This should be a massive exercise in ISSUE SALIENCE driven by Dem elites.

Happening right in front of us. Talking about canceling elections.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Lil' comic about hope and longing 💗

The president encounters a binder clip for the first time, then talks about it for a while. Remember when Joe Biden had a raspy voice and every major news organization created a 10-person Biden Is Old investigative team?

I need every interviewer to ask Republicans if they agree that the government of Norway gives out Nobel Prizes & if the US had boats in Greenland 300 years ago. B/c these aren't slips of the tongue. These are absolute delusions, & every Republican who won't call them out should OWN defending them.

Nazi Bovino in Minneapolis. I've seen footage from Nazi Germany that looked just like this.

Trump yells “fuck you” and flips off an auto worker in Michigan who yelled “pedophile protector” www.tmz.com/2026/01/13/t...

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

Our entire politics now is about our sundowning, failing, unpopular leader, whose powers are clearly ebbing, maniacally trying to find ways to restore his STRENGTH, POWER, and MANLINESS. Like seizing Greenland; taking VZ’s oil; killing men in boats; terrorizing US cities; bombing other countries.

President Zelenskyy on Maduro: What can I say here? If this can be done to dictators, like that, then the United States of America know what they should do next.

Final broadcast of ABC News Tonight for 2025. I hope every rep and senator saw it. Millions are being forced to cancel health insurance because it’s unaffordable. That pressure doesn’t stop with them; it spreads. When people drop coverage, everyone’s rates go up. Call your Rep and Senators.

How are these fits of presidential incontinence never covered as their own news events in NYT? Hours of sick hateful bile from the curdled joyless leader of the Christian nationalists sitting in the ruins of the tinsel trimmed White House he’s demolishing — seems like a story to me.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov. He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

Wow.

One thing that is so horrifying about this is that it was *voluntary*. This was not some war we got dragged into. This was a cold hearted decision, not made under duress. Musk, Trump, and their adolescent "doge" thugs DECIDED this was a good thing to do. And now half a million people are dead.

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

👀

He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

The President of the US has repeatedly claimed that he is receiving medical care he does not understand and it would be great if journalists would dig into that, because there is no possible explanation that isn't an enormous scandal

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Fascism is using us American Jews as moral human shields, covering its takeover with lies about protecting Jews. They aren’t. They’re pushing Jews into harm’s way, as some Jews become fools & believe it & some non-Jewish antifascists are fooled & believe it. Only fascism profits from this lie.

The true journalism scandal is a pathological liar can’t ask for better propaganda than a headline that’s just what he said as if it’s true and the entirety of the story is just his quote with zero context or explanation or skepticism, all published under the name of an established news brand

epstein emails released and everyone coming out as a pedophile to defend donald trump

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

Can you please call out the insane creepiness of Trump's ambassador to Malta and her creepy two-timing husband because this whole email exchange is INSANE bsky.app/profile/chri...

At the same time the New York Times was running nonstop stories on Hillary's email server, they were sitting on this emails (and photos of Trump with Epstein victims, apparently). bsky.app/profile/data...

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.” Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration. Weird coincidence.

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently. This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

he’s a provider of access to money, connections and beautiful women and girls — everything that these people need to affirm their own status. being rich and powerful is a grift which requires other to bolster & buy in. That’s the service Epstein provided.

Epstein’s ticking time bomb for science: Years ago, before the name of Epstein had registered, I had lunch with a prominent woman physicist. She told me Epstein was funding exclusive physics conferences for favoured male physicists to which women like her were excluded.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

In addition to being a pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein also had terrible grammar.

BREAKING: (Gift) New Epstein emails reveal that Epstein claimed he had kompromat on President Trump. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Will the Epstein files be spun as titillating revelations or recognized as evidence that misogyny & mass sexual exploitation of women are POLITICAL, linking antidemocratic politics globally? Depends whether men with big platforms decide to connect the dots. Women have been screaming into the void.

Jeffrey Epstein in 2018: "i know how dirty donald is."

Jeffrey Epstein said Trump "spent hours at my house" with a sexual abuse victim and "Of course he knew about the girls" www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...
