For over 5 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the people in Congress most disliked by Democrats. No death threats. It was only when she turned on Donald Trump that she got death threats. Just like Senators only received threats of violence after they wavered on Trump's cabinet nominations.

"What did Trump think Epstein was 'stealing' these girls for? Epstein did not own a resort hotel. The answer is that he was recruiting them for his sex trafficking operation. The idea that Trump would have had any uncertainty on that point is absurd." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday. The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees. Here’s my advice for ICEstapo: Take a night off. Go to the movies. Watch “Nuremberg”. Your time is coming.

Also, if memory serves: he tried pretty hard to rig the census?? He tried all sorts of partisan shenanigans, only stopped through litigation: - Citizenship question - Tried to end counting early (undercounting hard to reach areas) - Altering apportionment rules (undercounting diverse areas)

As a summary of 47.1, this about does it.

Gotta love how Jon Karl and ABC News had this graphic ready to go *the very moment* that Hassett rolled out his Walmart anecdote.

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.

Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

EVERYONE: IMPEACHMENT IS NOT JAIL. It is a civil remedy; you just get fired. That means President Trump can’t pardon anyone. What would be hard about this is impeachment has never been used against more than one official at at time; but nothing prevents that in the Constitution.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

everything I know about the Nuzzi/RFK Jr affair I have learned against my will

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

What a terrible day to know how to read

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms: ✅He personally directs criminal investigations. ✅He is targeting opponents. ✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents. Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

“Housing shortage – Jews to blame," letter sticker, German Reich, 1938 zwangsraeume.berlin/en/context

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

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.

Therapist here 👋 Anxiety about job loss is through the roof for my clients. Other job anxities that have been on the rise: finding a job that actually pays, has benefits, free from hostility, where they have enough time and flexibility to see the doctor... The labor market is unwell.

agreed. it's "the guy who makes you uncomfortable for reasons you won't articulate isn't the future. this guy who looks and talks like you is."

Huh well it turns out I heard from a few federal workers about this and well "We civil servants organized to help our colleagues face the hardship of the shutdown, we put up with the pain and our only request was to not be betrayed like this. Trade our pain, make it count."

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Want a party that actually fights back? Run for office. We’ll help you. runforwhat.net

This is absolutely right. The eight who signed off on this disaster of a deal were acting as a shield for colleagues who are up this cycle. Don't let any of them off the hook just yet.

Biggest ratio I have ever seen on this website by a country mile

All of this is confirming my belief that Republicans never learn from a loss and Democrats never learn from a win

what he actually said was that mamdani doesn’t need his help and that he doesn’t live in new york but that he thought the race was very exciting and that cuomo disqualified himself, but, you know, hey, go ahead and make up people to get mad at if that makes your sunday morning more exciting

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians

I have learned the local humane society has a whole dept dedicated to social work bc they have found again & again it is both more dignified & more *cost effective* to keep pets with their owners by expanding & strengthening access to social safety nets than to re-home pets en masse.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.” aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Most people have pointed out that Trump was golfing in Palm Beach at the exact moment Mullin posted this, but I will also note that the “work” Trump is doing here is autographing Truth Social posts that have been blown up and printed out.

People need to understand that Chicago is a preview, not a culmination.

If we want to stop the kidnappings and these agents require anonymity to commit these actions, then we must remove the masks. So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.

Shutting it down for the night with this post from a comrade in Chicago: 🎶"I wish I could give you this feeling. I wish I could give you this feeling."🎶

You, me, every workaday taxpayer in the US are being forced to pay into an insurance program for greedy CEOs who take insane risks with other people's $, pocket any gains & make us cover their losses. TARP & every corporate bailout is a financialized version of the medieval corvée & we're the serfs.
