Noting that Sen. Wyden is attempting to get the Finance committee to subpoena Epstein's financials and has been stonewalled by Republicans. This report is damning in its own right but they need all the information to fully investigate who financed Epstein and where their money went.

/13 Why? For proximity to power. For prestige. For attention. Some tongues were made to praise God. Some tongues were made to sing. Some were made for poetry, some for prose, some to agitate and some to soothe. But some tongues were made for the boot.

Saddest thought of the day: I genuinely can't tell if Trump turned up the crazy dictator knob today because he's feeling cornered or if it's a planned misdirection from Bondi trying to shove 24 TB of Epstein files data into a box with "ongoing investigation" frantically scrawled on it.

This is really good at condensing a whole lot of Trump hypocrisy into a two minute video.

This is really important -- 🧵on Epstein's financials. Epstein did a lot of things that looked like money laundering, they were reported to the banks who then...largely ignored them. But it tells how he moved his money around and where it came from...

This is going to be terrible once AI gets its hooks into personal finance information. In addition to the potential to give people terrible advice, I'd be worried about a massive data breach at some point.

astigmatic gang RISE UP

Daily reminder that, without Julie K Brown poking into this, the whole Epstein sweetheart deal would have been papered over and he'd probably still be out there trafficking underage girls just like he did between the first conviction and the second investigation.

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

Although Trump has publicly allowed Reps to vote yes on releasing the files, he obviously wants them not to, especially in veto-proof numbers so they're going to try to find the messaging that works with the base and this ain't it.

Adding to the enjoyment of the Broncos beating the Chiefs is that Harrison Butker missed an extra point, which contributed to the loss.

Look, there's a good chance that she and Massie are sufficiently pissed off to throw a few House votes our way out of spite and we should gladly accept those, but there's a level of racism, anti-semitism, anti-trans hatred and general lunacy there we shouldn't be willing to put a D next to.

Very proud of whoever came up with this -- this is a great way to put pressure on them.

Bob Menendez, from prison: “Ok, so people are OK with leaders just accepting gold bars now?”

The fuckin bears did it. They built the toilet paper MOAB

Happy Halloween (Orthodox)

"We don't whip these" = "Yeah, the horse is already out of the barn and we're going to lose anyone who has an ounce of self-preservation on this"

The internet remains undefeated.

The bombings will continue in a futile attempt to push Epstein out of the news cycle.

This really makes the point well that everything she does is scripted. Bet they cleared a ton of tourists away from Mount Rushmore so they could shoot this too.

Really glad for people like Scott MacFarlane keeping track of every time with a sentence commuted by Trump/pardoned by him commits another crime. A video compilation of what they were pardoned for and their later crimes would be really helpful for when Republicans run as law and order candidates.

I love Rosa DeLauro. This is great!

a “Space Force”, if you will

Really hoping this gets a full Congressional investigation. Granted, it won't happen until one of the houses of Congress flips, but they basically sent in hundreds of agents to terrorize hundreds of law-abiding people with no cause or specific warrants.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

OVERT ACT 125 In additional furtherance of the conspiracy, DEFENDANTS met on November 12, 2025 to discuss ways to wield official government power to prevent further news of the child sex trafficking ring from becoming public.

Yup. Time to put the rollers under everyone who isn’t up to the job.

I kind of appreciate the complete lack of pride whoever placed the T and the P took in their work. That's some next level crap kerning. Hoping it's really easy to pry all this crap off the colonnade once someone who doesn't have a mafia design moves in.

Reposting this, because we all need to be reminded that every vote counts, every vote HAS to count and that sometimes elections come down to the narrowest of margins.

It's like someone poured pure distilled schlumpyness into an inverted traffic cone.

Just taking a look at the Cook Political Report list partisan voting index, noting that Spanberger's vote shifted 12% from the last presidential election and Sherrill improved by 8% in NJ... www.cookpolitical.com/cook-pvi/202...

Apparently in Fitchburg, MA. CBP/ICE goons taking a child away from a couple when the man holding the child is apparently either being tazed or having a seizure. Unbelievable cruelty either way.

Just thinking that the idea that "there shouldn't be billionaires at all" just got underlined by Musk getting approval for a trillion dollar compensation package. There shouldn't be billionaires, but there DEFINITELY shouldn't be trillionaires and it definitely shouldn't be Musk.

Frequently, in fact. The sidewalks in my neighborhood were built by WPA and still have WPA medallions embedded (this pic is not mine, but they look like this -- 1938 for the streets near me)

This recycled tweet still cracks me up 🤣

The YouTube algorithm just served me up Janelle Monae's Letterman performance of Tightrope and when Tightrope shows up in our playlist, we watch it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzZn...

Excellent. Main risk of harm would be if she allowed CBP to continue abusing protestors.

Among everything else, I think Republicans have wildly underestimated how much otherwise apolitical people hate the idea of a dozen masked, camo-wearing, anonymous men converging on a quiet neighborhood and gang-tackling a landscaper, painter or day care teacher.

All of this is terrible, but I can't imagine the kind of heartlessness that would go along with "OK, we're going to storm through a day care center and grab a teacher in front of the children." I realize the cruelty is the point, but damn.

It's the end of an era and she was the most effective speaker of my lifetime (including having the humility to let members throw her under the bus if it helped them win their districts.) What a run!

Meerkat, shown here wondering what's keeping the bartender for so long.

A lot of people probably won't get how finely crafted this joke is and how many layers it has, applause to Jane

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

Really minor point, but I watched Spanberger's speech, which appeared to come in before Earle-Sears had conceded or called her and I really liked the way Spanberger handled it. There's usually a moment where the candidate says "I just talked with [losing candidate] and..." and the crowd boos...

Just seeing the VA governor race go from Youngkin winning in 2021 by just under 2% to Spanberger winning by almost 15% and really hoping that a bunch of Republicans in R+17 districts who thought their R+12 districts were safe realized what that means for them if this environment holds for a year.

[Exit Clown.]

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works and govern yourself accordingly.

Hoping that Virginia, which was a red state within recent memory, so thoroughly repudiates Trump and Spanberger wins by a margin that every GOP political operative feels in the pit of their stomach and that Zohran wins by enough to permanently send Cuomo to the glue factory.

We've got you 👍
