Imagine being so proudly smug of being so ignorant.

AOC: How can we, as members of congress, Republican or Democrat, vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people? That is what this legislation does. In fact, Senator Graham said he was going to seek well over $1 million from the American people, from this.

“It cannot be this weak and writhled shrimp should strike such terror...” “Henry VI, Part 1”

Q. for John Roberts: Is Trump immune from pedophilia?

Republicans BLOCKED an amendment that would redirect $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years. Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

The discharge petition? How about impeachment and imprisonment.

“If those files actually exonerated Donald Trump and incriminated a bunch of Democrats, Trump would be the first to release them. Instead, he’s putting the weight of his entire government into one of the most blatant cover-up attempts in American history.”

Tick tock, Trump: “Time shall unfold what plighted cunning hides. Who cover faults, at last shame them derides.” “King Lear”

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

This was moments after Karoline Leavitt was bragging about the Trump administration's record on transparency lol

Someone on Ari Melber just said that the Epstein emails were “incredibly credible.” Who is this person who speaks such gibberish?

Memo to Todd Blanche: “Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial.” “Othello”

The dam is breaking. How much longer before craven Republicans stop trying to plug the leaks and run for higher ground?

Caliban Leavitt to Trump: “I’ll…follow thee, thou wondrous man.” “The Tempest”

“Religious dogmas, at war with science, were fables used to intimidate and manipulate the ignorant.” Said not about MAGA and the religious far right but about repressive 16th century Elizabethan England.

Caliban Leavitt is like the Billie Whitelaw nanny in “The Omen.”

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

When is Blanche resigning? “You shall mark many a duteous and knee-crooking knave that (doting on his own obsequious bondage) wears out his time much like his master’s ass for naught but provender, and when he’s old, cashiered.” “Othello”

Since this administration loves to charge people with making false statements (see, e.g., Comey, James), I assume they will be charging Maxwell for lying to Blanche and the FBI agents who interviewed her, right?

Sure. But not reason not to use this to pressure Todd Blanche. Surely @robertgarcia.bsky.social and @raskin.house.gov can at least ask Blanche when he'll be charging Ghislaine and moving her back to digs more appropriate for a convicted sex trafficer.

Caliban Leavitt

“Courtesy itself must convert to disdain if you come in her presence.” “Much Ado About Nothing”

Karoline Leavitt does almost daily press briefings. There should be equal and opposite briefings from Democrat spokespeople to counter her lies. God knows there would be plenty of material to counter.

Caliban Leavitt to Trump, “Let me lick thy shoe.”

Is there a Daniel Ellsberg at the DOJ who could leak the Epstein Files?

And while we’re at it, let’s put Trump’s name on the Epstein Files: the Trump/Epstein Files

“We were trying to bomb a boat in the Caribbean, but it misfired and hit the room in DOJ where all the Epstein files are.”

“The more Trump tries to cover-up the Epstein files, the more we uncover. These latest emails & correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the [Trump]. DOJ must fully release the Epstein files immediately.”

“The farmers losing their workforces, the small-town Trump voters angry about removals of local ‘moms,’ the business-minded Republicans who understand that immigrant workers are complementary to the U.S. economy—Spanberger showed that Dems can appeal to those people, and drive a wedge into MAGA.”

“…purchase corrupted pardon of a man, who in that sale sells pardon from himself.” “King John”

The Trump-labeled “anarchists and thugs are small businesses who have been perversely and badly affected by his illegal actions. Trump himself created the situation…If the tariffs are struck down and a lot of money has to be paid back as a result, it’s because he acted illegally and recklessly.”

When can we expect another stern letter from Schumer and Jeffries?

Trump said that 65% of Americans are fools. The press yawns. But remember the outcry in the press when Hillary Clinton called the Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables?”

Tell that to Schumer and his seven weak members who knelt before Trump.

James Watson has died www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/s...

Trump “came to the aid of those already in the clear—as far as federal law enforcement is concerned…It is the latest in a series of moves intended to deliver a political message from the White House: Those who stand with Trump and assist in his schemes need not worry about legal consequences.”

How wrong are Trump’s weird boasts about the state of the economy? Even his own economic team doesn’t seem to believe him. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

“The Democrats’ highest calling right now is to make Trump less popular—supporting the No Kings rallies, dividing his loyalists in Congress over issues—standing up to him in the government shutdown fight and making him seem weaker than he is, and emphasizing his corruption scandals...”

UConn vs. Columbia tonight. A huge mismatch. UConn, however, has the edge in hoops.

“By the merit of vile gold, dross, dust, purchase corrupted pardon of a man, who in that sale sells pardon from himself.” “King John”

When Trump says, ‘I have the best numbers ever,’ [those] covering him don’t shout in unison, ‘No, you don’t!’ even though they know he’s lying…They realize there would be repercussions if they challenged him. Their bosses want access.” Access for stenographers and sideline “reporters.”

Bernie Sanders: Thune can say, “Democrats can create their own bill, and…as everybody here knows, it’s a meaningless gesture. You can get a 100 votes in the Senate. It won’t mean anything, because the House is not going to take it up, and [Trump] certainly will not sign it.” He hopes Dems reconsider

“Trump’s approval rating is sinking, and GOP officials were increasingly divided against one another. The pieces, in other words, were in place for Democrats to stand firm in support of a popular cause. Eight of them folded anyway.”

“I discovered that the world should not be divided into good and bad people but into cowards and non-cowards.” Looking at you, Schumer, and at Dems who caved.

Maybe Angus King wasn’t paying close enough attention: - public blamed the GOP for shutdown - Dems won big in elections last week - Trump’s approval rating sinking - Republicans increasingly divided against one another Standing up to Trump *did* work. tinyurl.com/3aduac4w

“He will lie, sir, with such volubility that you would think truth were a fool… He has everything that an honest man should not have; what an honest man should have, he has nothing.” “All’s Well That Ends Well”
