We would not be here today without Virginia Giuffre. We should all be thankful for the legacy of courage she left behind.

Thune on amendment to Epstein: “I think when a bill comes out of the house, 427 to one, and the President said he’d sign it, I'm not sure that amending it is in the cards.”

Losing it at women reporters is definitely the way to tamp down accusations of abusing girls.

Epstein’s brother Mark tells Chris Cuomo that the reason the Trump administration is finally releasing the Epstein files is because they’ve been “sanitized.” Quoting “a pretty good source,” he says “they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out.” “Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump.“

Birds of a feather.

ABC’S MARY BRUCE: “Why wait for Congress? Why not just release the files?” TRUMP: “It’s not the question, it’s your attitude. I think you’re a terrible reporter.” (TRANSLATION: She’s asking the right questions and he can’t handle it)

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

This was one of the worst decisions ever made in the history of the American justice system." youtu.be/qsWAdoD6xuA?...

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov calls out Speaker Johnson for openly asking Sen. John Thune to change the bill to delay it further — and says Trump can release the files today

BREAKING: The House just passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, 427-1. Republican Clay Higgins was the lone 'no' vote.

The dam is breaking, and this dude is lying through his teeth.

This is a direct attack on our children & our future. At a time when we need to be doing more to prepare our kids to compete in the global economy, Trump is going after the agency that strengthens American education. Once again, he's helping our adversaries & competitors.

This. This all day.

It says a lot about how much undergraduates are valued that he's going to resign in disgrace from various high-status appointments but continue to teach.

You know what media is NOT bending the knee in the Trump era? College journalists! The Harvard Crimson's brutal takedown of the lecherous ex-prez Larry Summers is just the latest example of students showing a failing 'grown-up' media how it's done My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

He's the embodiment of everything we teach our children not to be.

The temporary president says disgusting and hateful things for a living, so it’s quite something to see that he still has the ability to find new levels of indecency.

Lmaooo

Hey, crew, you know what to do. 🎶

"What we’re now learning, above all, is that Trump appears to wield absolute mastery over the GOP…until he doesn’t, and can no longer sustain that illusion. And when the illusion has been shattered, reality quickly follows suit." 🎯 @gregsargent.bsky.social

🎯 GARCIA : “It’s time to end this White House cover-up. Trump has the power to release the files today. He does not even need a vote. What is Donald Trump hiding?”

Today is just one long demonstration of the One Special Boy virus that has consumed our polity. Immediate presidency-ending stuff for anyone else from at least Truman to Biden. We're not even pretending to care about the law or the Constitution or any of the norms or duct tape anymore.

The War on Christmas was just one more projection, it seems.

THIS GUY lecturing on "attitude." Meanwhile, he's being asked the questions now. And he has nothing but insults in his arsenal. This admin will continue to take water because he's washed and guilty in equal measure.

If Donald Trump wants to release the Epstein files, he could just release them, instead of green-lighting the House resolution. And it's not as if he cares whether he has statutory authority to do a lot of what he's been doing. But he needs a law for this?
