If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that Putin wanted Witkoff to keep a close eye on Trump and his handlers.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

Pamela Jo has until December 20th to release the Epstein files. She must include explanations for everything she redacts or withholds.

Well…

Only a criminal administration would figure out a way to make it illegal for members of Congress to call for the military to ignore illegal orders.

I’ve shared this before this evening.

This is corrupt on so many levels.

A Tribute to Nancy Pelosi History will remember Nancy Patricia D’Alesandro Pelosi as one of the most consequential leaders in American politics — not because she was the first woman to wield the Speaker’s gavel, but because of what she did with it. 1/14

"The truth of the Epstein files needs to come out—and the country needs to finally confront the sickening reality of a criminally corrupt White House occupant with a history of sexual assault and adjudicated rape.” My thoughts in this 2- minute video. www.americaamerica.news/p/dont-let-t...

The Overton Window Is Shifting The Overton Window is the spectrum of policies and ideas that the public sees as “acceptable.” It’s the imaginary boundary that decides whether Medicare for All is a serious proposal or a “pipe dream.”

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

My heart screams “Why is a pedophile rapist the president?” But my head understands: they’ve always been protected. I know many people who've been sexually assaulted by men who’ve never been held to account, myself included. Why would it change now? We see what the GOP is doing. We aren't stupid.

Thou shalt not wear a cross around your neck if you always do the opposite of what Jesus would do.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

When folks talk about #StarWars shows, they always forget the Holiday Special. Never forget #LifeDay

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

No kidding. www.themirror.com/news/politic...

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business. The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay. It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders. Textbook corporate greed.

Leaving sans comment.

Here's some very practical thinking about the whole whistle thing -- very well done:

Yesterday I tried to put everything I knew about whistles—where to get them, where to get instruction sheets, how to distro—into one place so you can build off it for your own community's whistle needs: dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

TELL IT truthfullyà like we've come to depend on you doing..

Republicans across the country are in a bind of Trump’s making: After voting to end the 43-day federal shutdown, they have yet to articulate a plan to tackle the upcoming spike in health care premiums. That’s coming into sharp relief in Georgia, a state with an especially high reliance on the ACA.

President Criminal arrested the former FBI chief but his case got dismissed because he hired a bimbo he wants to bang as the prosecutor and she had no idea wha the fuck she was doing,

Setting aside for a second the lunacy and authoritarianism surrounding the Trump/Hegseth threat to court martial Mark Kelly, it is also politically moronic. No military court or jury would uphold this, and you only do Kelly a tremendous favor by making him more popular than ever.

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

As I was saying…

Lame duck POTUS.

Accepting resignations is not Justice!

“I’ve got the best poll numbers I’ve ever had! Red hot!!!”

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

Sex trafficking on Meta platforms was both difficult to report and widely tolerated. Instagram’s former head of safety testified that when she joined Meta in 2020 she was shocked to learn the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex.”

Quote of the day! TheRealThelmaJohnson: "Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says we should bring back the "Golden Age of Travel" by dressing up & being respectful. I loved those days & personally I can't wait to chainsmoke next to a baby on a flight from Phoenix to Ft Lauderdale again."
