This is non-fiction but lands as visceral (as per author's point) social horror. Only it's entirely real. And that some, even many, won't understand, intuit, or feel any sense of the horror at all, will only see cause to celebrate and wonder what the big deal is, is part of the horror itself.

MORE OF THIS!!!!!!

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care. Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting. He never returned to her that day. 1/2

Doing things the "right" way, burning out and then realizing there is another option, coming back and winning it all with no fucks given? Yes please tell me that story forever.

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

NEW: As expected, SCOTUS invalidates tariffs. Billionaires don’t like it when you mess with the markets. Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh dissent. Importers will now get refunds on costs they’ve already passed on to us, making the rich even richer.

This lady has more guts than ANYONE in this administration‼️ She’s an absolute treasure I hope she’s being protected‼️

Alex Pretti's former classmate: "An attack on Alex feels like an attack on all of us. I don't have words to describe the amount of rage that I have when he's described as a domestic terrorist. He was there to help people. He was there to spread a message of warmth and love in this country."

BRENNAN: You said 'occupying force.' Don't you think that's a bit much? FREY: When you have 3,000 ICE agents and CBP come to your city, when you've got this supposed threat of 1,500 military coming to your city, that's very much what it feels like

The grifter keeps grifting. Trump now wants his own UN-style group with select regional countries, called the “Board of Peace.” Members would pay him $1B, he’d control the funds, get the final say despite votes. But the good news is that most of these countries aren’t on board with it.

Steve Kerr on the murder of Renee Good: "It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do. What we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting VP He should be ashamed of himself—and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.

NEW: Sen. Mark Kelly RESPONDS to Pete Hegseth for censuring him, cutting his military pension, threatening to demote his rank, and warning of possible criminal prosecution for telling soldiers to obey their oath.

Watching Trump speak and justify why the US is entitled to invade another country and kidnap the president makes me think that when we started talking about the “post-truth” era, we had no idea of how deeply post-truth it’d become. Perception of reality is now random and optional.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

🎯🎯

So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation. This is madness.

Nothing about this is okay. The President of the United States is on Fox News right now gabbing about the U.S. attack on Venezuela before addressing the American people. So the new order of information is: Truth Social → Fox News → the public → Congress, maybe?

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️ www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

Doesn't it strike you as strange that the people who shout long and loud that America is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles are the very people who don't want Christ's teachings of tolerance, pacifism, and generosity codified in law?

The charitable take is that the DOJ bungled the Epstein file release. The honest one is that this is by design. Cause confusion as a cover-up. Keep the shiny object moving. If you can’t keep up, this is a solid recap of last night’s document dump — holiday edition.

Ouch, that #SpinelessSpeaker Johnson quote. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The USS Bone Spurs

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care. My latest for Democracy Docket lays out the case. Sign up now to access this and all premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

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.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

The new CDC webpage on autism makes a number of false claims. We correct the record here. tldr: vaccines don't cause it. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/w...

"The Trump administration unveiled a sweeping plan Tuesday to sidestep Congress and outsource large pieces of the U.S. Department of Education..." This is a key vision of the Heritage Foundation. There will be less oversight, less funding, and less education. They love an uninformed electorate.

It's almost like when you tax the rich in a place you get to make that place a better place and even the rich just looking out the windows of their limos at most of that place in passing prefer to think "oh, that looks nice" rather than "I must prepare my bunker for the impending apocalypse"

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

This is what Dirty Donald was plotting with pedophile protectors Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino as a way to suppress the release of the Epstein files. Trump is the central figure in the most sinister pedophile scandal in American history. Watergate pales in comparison.

Maga Alert: Dominion Voting Systems has been acquired by Liberty Vote, a new company founded and solely owned by Scott Leiendecker! Why isn't anyone talking about this??? @maddow.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @schiffsenate.gov

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.” Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.
