Lauren Boebert showing more spine than Chuck Schumer. And she's going up against a guy most famous for exacting revenge. Schumer is folding for The Baileys, some imaginary friends he made up.

explained that police have no duty to protect people because their only job is to protect property rights, and an order of protection was "not the sort of 'entitlement' out of which a property interest is created." The right to be protected from harm by police, wrote Scalia,

As someone currently writing a pilot that involves investigative journalism work, it is dispiriting to see how boring a show about an actual conspiracy would be.

Oh hey I'm quoted in the History Channel talking about Stephen King! www.history.com/articles/ste...

Insert great expectations joke at my own expense.

Or that Miss Havisham, when we first meet her, hasn't hit forty yet.

“Tax the rich so they don’t have enough money to go on people safari” is one of the bleakest reasons to revise the tax code I can think of

i think it would be fine to excise everyone who exchanged emails with jeffrey epstein in a personal capacity from public life

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

I think the most important lesson we’ve learned is that bsky mods have been raised in an Encino Man situation, unexposed to any pop culture references from the last 50 years

Today's Epstein news reminds me that in 1994 the Washington Post called for an independent counsel investigation of Whitewater "even though -- and this should be stressed -- there has been no credible charge in this case that either the president or Mrs. Clinton did anything wrong."

“If you don’t wanna end up in a free computer literacy class at the community center we built with funds diverted from the bloated po-lice budget, then I reckon you best be on your way.”

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics

Always worth bringing back up that a big part of why evopsych became such a thing was that Jeffrey Epstein was bankrolling it through academic donations

The White House confirms Trump officials tried to convince Lauren Boebert today to drop her support for the Epstein files discharge petition. Once Adelita Grijalva is sworn in this afternoon, majority support will be reached on that discharge petition in the House.

Here’s what is interesting about this answer: It is not a “no.” bsky.app/profile/just...

(abraham lincoln lookalike stands up) you actually can't include "knowing lyrics" to moderation at scale

Did any of these losers even try to shift some undercoating?

I'll be joining Refusing to Forget for this important and timely panel on the ongoing battle for historical truth in Texas

Fireable offenses for Harvard president: bad faith allegations over half a footnote in something published two decades ago. Non-fireable offenses for Harvard president: being good buddies with the most notorious child sex trafficker in the country.

I need to know if it this article? It would be very BlueSky if the BlueSky moderators suspended her because they didn't get a joke www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

Trump getting elected a few weeks AFTER the Access Hollywood tape dropped was to America’s culture of sexual violence what Sandy Hook was for gun violence—a clear sign that tens of millions of “conservatives” were totally fine with it.

As opposed to, say, the dozens of studies with frightening shit like: "after controlling for a large set of student, teacher & school characteristics, even small daily amounts (here, 30 min) of use of digital devices in these classrooms are negatively related to scores on reading comprehension test"

"Larry Summers believed he was oppressed by the American elite" is both ridiculous and deeply revealing about how these men see the world

“Just the day before he was detained, Ya’akub had recorded and participated in a city council meeting in the Dallas suburb of Richardson, where he spoke out in support of local community leader Marwan Marouf who was detained by ICE, according to a court filing from his legal team last week.”

So Pete Hegseth wants to rid the military of "beardos," because men with beards can't be good soldiers

again, strongly suggests Johnson was acting on Trump's direct orders in refusing to seat Grijalva. He's very aware of when the vote is and what the vote count is. 1

Folks, the reporting is that Trump is making PERSONAL CALLS to Mace, MTG and others about the discharge petition. Would you be doing this if you had nothing to hide? Let's please all be serious here.

how aren’t they just run out of town

Harvard grads can call the Harvard Alumni Association and politely let them know they won't donate to the school as long as Summers is working there. Their number is 617-496-0559.

Women referred to as female, DEI reduced to women's work, men don't have to do anything at all.

Accuse your opponents of what you’re doing to confuse and shore up vulnerabilities. Feed QAnon conspiracy theorists, use them to gain more power. Blatantly lie about Democrats, accuse them of the worst thing you can think of. Not like lying has had consequences. Bait-and-switch as anti-LGBT.

The only thing Moby-Dick doesn't have is women, but if it's between a year at sea with Ahab or five minutes with Dorothea Brooke, I knows what choice I'm making.

The fact that Larry Summers was so proud of his "tee-hee I said something naughty and got away with it" that he bragged about it to Jeffrey Epstein gives us the synthesis of pedocon theory and everyone-is-twelve theory

Moby-Dick. Easily.

Can confirm, as an avid turkey fryer of more than three decades, a onetime volunteer firefighter in a rural area, and a current EMT.

Still more interesting than gambling debts!

You know, Democrats, there really isn't an upper limit on the amount of outrage you can have over the president of the United States being a child rapist. It should be the primary, if not the only thing you talk about. Go ballistic because it's the right thing to do.

Interesting how the line is, now that we have legalized sports gambling across the board there's no putting that genie back in the bottle versus sure we can end the hemp industry with one line in an unrelated bill.

Larry Summers had an "insight" in an email to Epstein.

folks like Newsom and such, when they say "masculinity" they mean "patriarchy"

I’d started to wonder whether the Epstein files were a bit of a macguffin, but no no they implicate the President of the United States in a pedophilia ring—and show the entire Republican Party as well as much of the federal government has been baldly covering it up. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A reminder of the high electrical usage used by data centers. These Silicon Valley data centers remain empty and unpowered because the utility can’t provide enough electricity. When data centers become active, residents are likely to get electrical bills. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Seth Moulton went on MSNBC and straight up said "the president is a pedophile" and refused to walk it back even after the hosts kept trying to equivocate. House Dems don't give a *fuuuck.*
