Great idea!!

Interesting. We can't know who the dark money funders are for campaigns, but the CEO of a company that provides paid protesters wants a law to expose who funds demonstrations. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

New York Times used to be the paper of record. These days it's not even much use as toilet paper.

Poor Ivanka, her daddy's sperm rode the short bus.

Well, the lesson of the Epstein files and the Panama Papers is virtually the same: elites, particularly rich and powerful men, do the most heinous shit on the regular and experience zero consequences.

So much of their reporting for the past decade makes more and more sense. They should have met the moment in 2016 when it was clear that Putin was installing a weapon in his attack on our election. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017...

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

For House Speaker Mike Johnson, the shutdown was the perfect scapegoat, and keeping it alive was the only way for Trump and the House GOP to avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein Files — a vote Trump was nearly certain to lose. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/it-w...

Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

It's like Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre have come back from the dead to totally unwind US politics. 🤔

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

More senatorial sneakiness.

These are hard words to type, but: Lauren Boebert is right.

Important to remember!!! 👇👇

First, the federal government getting its economic data from DoorDash is a bit alarming. Second, people who use DoorDash pay an average of $63 for a meal from McDonald's. Sort of an odd place to look to gauge sensitivity to the cost of food.

Look at that! 👀

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

I'll see your Epstein files and raise you Russian Hoax.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

👀 If I understand correctly, Mike Johnson has managed the House calendar so as to allow Trump a pocket veto (no overriding) on the release of the Epstein Files. www.house.gov/legislative-... history.house.gov/Institution/... #EpsteinFiles #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles #dischargepetition #pocketveto

The U.S. is now a... Kleptocracy: rule by thieves, officials use political power to steal national wealth & resources for personal gain Kakistocracy: rule by least qualified, most ignorant & unprincipled citizens Plutocracy: rule by wealthy, using their riches to influence policy for own benefit

Are you sitting down? Wait till you hear what else the Republicans snuck into the bill. A complete THC ban that will mandate every HEMP PLANT, SEED & PRODUCT in the country destroyed.

“.. in the Situation Room.” 👀

Our guess is When 47 attacks mail-in voting, it’s because he can't hack into a paper ballot like he got Elon to do with the voting machines in the 2024. Sigh…

One of the things we* learned from the genocide livestreamed from Palestine is that the obvious, indisputable starving of children is not enough to move the American political class. The brutal revocation of SNAP is no different. Been thinking about how far this says we are from the horizon.

Sean Duffy: "I can't guarantee safety"

GOOD – Bernie Sanders RIPPED Susan Collins to her face after she laughed with colleagues about their bill passing: “Premiums will triple. When you throw 15 million people off healthcare, 50,000 Americans will die each year. That’s funny?” 👏

I would ask what's wrong with him, but I already know the answer. #dementia #narcissism #malignantnarcissism #rude

Whoever keeps saying "well it can't get any worse" knock that shit off. The universe is upping and we can't take much more.

It’s bigger than you think.

Communicating why a 50 year mortgage costs more, overall, than a 30 year mortgage should not be a hard task. The problem is the average American is both functionally illiterate and innumerate, as a deliberate result of decades of the policies made by the very people pushing for 50 year mortgages.

This. Knowing that they were going to do this, they should have addressed the public on the decision. Made USE of the moment.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.
