If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

all six D's who voted for this god awful thing including the corrupt give away to senators need to be primaried

Not that it matters anymore, but it’s important to point out that the White House did more to try and stop the release of the Epstein Files than to try and end the shutdown.

🚨🚨BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva has signed the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, bringing the total number of signatures to the needed 218.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

Oh …

THE SITUATION ROOM

As more and more files come out, Ghislaine Maxwell has less and less leverage for a pardon or commutation. Things are really going to start heating up.

The Epstein saga is the biggest political cover-up in modern history.

ICE agents wear masks for the same reason that Klan members wear hoods. They know what they are doing is immoral. Pretty straight forward. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

They really thought that saying it was Virginia Giuffre the Trump was with for hours at Epstein's house would somehow make this better?! Really?! This is all so outrageously insane. Release the full Epstein files NOW!

A #WhiteHouse correspondent asked Karoline Leavitt: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?" The silence was deafening

Kristin Davis, the “Manhattan Madam” and political publicist, opens up about her Jan 6 testimony. She brings receipts showing the involvement of Turning Point, Heritage Ftn, and others, saying go back to when they first gained political power. #ProudBlue Video credit: manhattanmadam/IG &Tiktok

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

Jeffrey Epstein in 2018: "i know how dirty donald is."

This Trump Epstein shit is absolutely outrageous. Besides the obvious evil, he's also clearly compromised to blackmail. This is a national emergency and Trump has to resign.

Why should we care AT ALL what this Justice Dept.'s memos say about legality and liability?

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city. I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Khanna: I’ll break some news — we’re talking with Massie now about getting another major press conference with the survivors early next week at the Capitol. There’s going to be so much momentum, left and right, to say: out with the Epstein class…

Leadership has to look different than it ever has before. If we want leadership that meets this moment, we need leaders that are responsive to the people and will fight for them.

Soft secession Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

70% of Americans disapprove of this administration’s handling of healthcare. Cutting ACA subsidies is not the solution. This is the time to make the case and build a broad coalition for Medicare tor All.

Note the contrast. Meidas clearly has more journalistic integrity than the Bezos Post.

This is such a post-truth B.S. trumpified, Putin-esque, "news" blast. What anti-drug campaign? Based on what? Blowing up fishing boats and saying "Trust me, bro" is not an anti-drug campaign. And WaPo simply pushing it like it's facts is "journalism" befitting of 1970's Pravda.

Duh

Want get rid of Schumer as Minority Leader? Full boycott on donations to Democrats until Schumer resigns or is removed as Minority Leader. And I mean ALL Democrats! Pelosi or Gavin asks? Nope! AOC or Ilhan Omar asks? Nope! NO DONATIONS UNTIL SCHUMER IS OUT!

Angry Democrats call on Schumer to resign after eight vote to end shutdown Democrats are seething after news emerged that eight members of their Senate caucus had collaborated with Republicans on crafting a compromise without winning any healthcare concessions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal". But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

I assume Schumer knows this is the end of his political career?

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Absolutely correct

Centrist Dems CAVE For a MAGA "Inshallah" That Will Never Happen Who needs corrupt, cruel MAGA politicians when we have weak, centrist Democrats willing to cave for lobbyists and throw their own party and base under the bus? With @muellershewrote.com thelefthook.substack.com/p/centrist-d...

This explains it. It's ridiculous.

Good to see Gavin on the right side of history on this one.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Trump: worst week of his term and never more vulnerable. Dems: we have Trump on the ropes keep going. Voters: The shutdown is Trumps fault, elect all Democrats. Schumer: let’s surrender. Senator AOC. Schumer needs to go. Years ago.

It's this fucking simple.

It's absolutely unconscionable.

That's the point! That's why you fight for the thing you want to happen!

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

thinking back to when eric cantor got knocked out in a primary in 2014

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

It shows Schumer no longer has the caucus.

Schumer put the nail in his own coffin and the Democratic Leadership. It's done. Just a matter of time. Ditto Centrists. They have misread the moment and the rage of the people. Trump and MAGA will continue playing them because they know they are weak.

No health care, no deal.

Hard to see @schumer.senate.gov being able to stay in leadership after this or in the senate, he was not the man for this moment
