Someone at the NYT (or deeply connected to it) has gotta be personally implicated in the Epstein files, because there’s no other credible reason to sit on such a juicy story for the last 10 years that was literally handed to them on a silver platter.

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

Oh he’s fucked

Greetings from war-ravaged Portland. If I don’t make it back from the trenches at Pip’s Donuts tomorrow, someone tell my dog I love him. 🍁🍩

You know what would help you get some contemporary references Nate? Being active on BlueSky instead of the Nazi circlejerk site.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever fucking seen. They’re so close to understanding why universal healthcare would actually save everyone money, but they literally NEVER get there.

“We don’t have money to feed people despite an emergency account that exists already for that, but we can find millions for bonuses at the President’s whim.”

As soon as I got through TSA my flight was delayed by 90 minutes. It’s never before I leave the house 😭

One small glimmer of hope for today, though this was always gonna be a long shot, toxic case for SCOTUS, and you can bet your last dollar Alito and his ilk will still do their level best to court a better case to give them the opportunity to overturn marriage equality.

Asking my Senators to vote for new leadership; either Chuck Schumer cannot whip votes, in which case he's useless, or he is fine giving up leverage for nothing, in which case he's worthless.

Schumer rightfully getting a lot of flack. But Durbin should be getting just as much flack. He's the Senate whip. His job is to whip votes to hold the line. Yet he just voted to cave to Trump and allow healthcare premiums to skyrocket. Both need to step down from leadership.

We can't vote Schumer out until 2028 but we can make him being the senate majority leader a litmus test for 2026 candidates. Every single Dem senate candidate should be forced to go on the record and state they will not vote for him as majority leader.

Also Fetterman was already cooked before this, but now I hope Gritty publicly beats his ass

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

The only glimmers of positivity in this toxic vote for Dems are that the CR ends Jan 30 and the ACA funding vote is supposed to happen in Dec, so Dems can shut it all down again in Feb if Thune goes back on his word…AND we now know who to primary and completely remove from leadership in our caucus.

A weak, feckless, ineffectual old man who belongs in a bingo hall, not the Senate. He just signed his own pink slip.

This sucks dude. EVEN if Thune isn’t lying to you about the vote, the House won’t hold a vote. You got nothing, and just proved to the public that the shutdown was your fault. And you proved to Republicans that they can weaponize hunger. You negotiated with terrorists

Any deal that would require Democrats to take Republicans at their word should be rejected. Their word means nothing.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

I swear to god @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov if either of you capitulate now to Republicans and vote with any other spineless Senate Dems to reopen the govt without first protecting healthcare subsidies, YOUR ASS IS GRASS.

Chuck Schumer deserves to lose all leadership and his seat for good if he capitulates on this without first securing a vote on healthcare subsidies. His defining legacy will be that of a doormat who ushered in authoritarianism on his watch. A feckless idiot with no principles or backbone.

They do not have a plan, they’ve never had a plan. They’ve also never had the votes to repeal the ACA which is *OVERWHELMINGLY* popular, nor have they been able to get the Supreme Court to overturn it, so instead they’ve just shut down the entire government to try forcing Dems to stop funding it.

It’s always the incels you most expect

This is just embarrassing

This is fucking brilliant, and you should read it: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

Some enterprising do-gooders in DC should set up a semi-permanent sandwich booth right outside Jeanine Pirro’s office to hand out free meals during the government shutdown

It is sad, but not surprising, that the president of Mexico is wasting her time on frivolous matters like suing the man who groped her. by Andrew Cuomo

So to cap their horrible week, Senate Republicans refused a deal to reopen the government in exchange for just helping people with health insurance and now the president wants the Supreme Court to say he doesn’t have to obey the law and feed the hungry. Amazing.

The way I burst out sobbing when Cynthia Erivo started flying through the theater. God I am so fucking gay 😭😂

Not this being the way I learn Jeff Goldblum has been a professionally-trained jazz pianist this entire time? 🤯

Wait is Jonathan Bailey not in this special? 😭

I could never be a political commentator because the first admin official or Republican talking head who interrupts to talk over me is getting slapped on air

“I don’t want to hear about the affordability.”

Gonna get stoned tonight and watch the live Wicked special, as a treat 😌

love or hate pelosi, she knew how to whip her big tent caucus from aoc to jared golden into passing legislation with barely a handful majority

The Republican coping has been sublime 🤌

High Potential being on a mid-season hiatus after only 7 episodes is so dumb. How are you gonna keep a captive audience when you take over a 2-month break until January?

The right side of his face is noticeably immobile and drooping as he speaks. He very clearly had a stroke and some kind of injection to even it out, but he can’t hide it well if he’s talking. No wonder Republicans are panicking and going all in on gerrymandering, he’s got one foot in the grave.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

Trump will start shutting down U.S. air travel, raising the possibility that Americans will miss seeing their families for Thanksgiving. And all because Trump refuses to negotiate with Democrats to help millions of Americans keep health insurance.

“Democrats clearly won young men last night [and] they didn’t do it by pandering to young men. They didn’t do it by begging in broken fratboy speak. They didn’t do it by treating young men like special little boys who need their hands held. They didn’t do it by abandoning women and trans people.”

Lindsey Boylan was the first whistleblower to come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Andrew Cuomo. Her accusations & those of 12 others were corroborated by the NY AG (and later by DOJ.) Cuomo resigned. Now he has lost again, and this picture is as unabashed a joy as you'll see.

Famously “not being a lawyer” is not a reasonable defense when you’re accused of breaking the law.

I just don't think the idiots in the Trump administration realize how much normie moms are going to be incensed at their kids teachers and caregivers being carted off—especially when daycare is so damn expensive and hard to find. It's a collision of everything people are infuriated about.

You have to give ID to buy alcohol or tobacco, things that we currently regulate more than guns in most states.

Ah yes, the great anti-Democrat strongholds of…Connecticut and Jersey lol.

This is gonna be the best night of sleep I’ve had in 12 months 🥹

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.
