Truly a mystery.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Betty’s family announced her passing and has requested privacy during this time. In lieu of flowers, they’ve asked that those wishing to honor her legacy consider donations to Betty Reid Soskin Middle School and to a forthcoming film documenting her remarkable life.

We’d like to share a remembrance for Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest serving National Park Service ranger in the country, who has passed away. Her life and work helped preserve history, expand whose stories are told, and inspire generations to come.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Earlier this year the people at 60 Minutes urged me to overcome fear and speak on camera about what it's like being a lawyer being targeted by Trump. When I did, they lavished me with praise -- noting I was the only person willing to do it. Now it is their turn to show courage.

Last year, one-term Rep. Anthony D’Esposito lost after adding his mistress to his official payroll. This year, Republicans made him the inspector general at the Dept of Labor, where he’ll be expected to investigate ethical lapses — despite his own ethical lapses. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Did the internal censor you were required to hire to approve the buyout make you do this?

Also I hope somebody’s already nicknamed her Taylor Grift

She looks like she gets on stage every night to sing a 45 minute medley that’s mostly the n-word

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.

AZ- Andy Biggs is running for governor. I’d like to remind you that Rep Biggs begged Trump for a Jan 6 pardon. That smells of treason IMO. Innocent people don’t do that. Biggs also is complicit in aiding & abetting the coverup of the Epstein files. Re-elect Katie Hobbs! #ResistanceUnited #Pinks

Is Bari Weiss holding a gun to her dog's head off camera?

He MOVED A CONVICTED CHILD SEX TRAFFICKER TO “PROTECT HER”!!!!!!!! She RAPED CHILDREN. Fuck this and fuck him.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer. Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump. Now, it’s gone.

This is my Christmas gift to my homeless neighbors, to the volunteers who get great joy from helping them…and, yes, to myself. Merry Christmas to all! 🧵 9 of 9

And my neighbors who are cold, wet, hungry, and overwhelmed…are now happy that their humble little refuge — where love gets traction, and prayers are answered — will stay in business. 🧵 8 of 9

And now, I get to partner with the wonderful network of volunteers and caring people who run the Lynnwood Hygiene Center. And — thanks to $400K in community donations — there is funding to develop the center through capital improvements. 🧵 7 of 9

So, I purchased the center and the land it sits on — the best $2 million I can imagine spending. 🧵 6 of 9

It's an invisible need… an invisible center… helping invisible people. Meanwhile, I’m haunted by the invisible impact of the insatiable greed that’s so widespread (and sadly, celebrated) in our multi-millionaire and billionaire class. 🧵 5 of 9

And tragically, once a center like this is gone, it’s hard to imagine it popping up somewhere else in these NIMBY times. 🧵 4 of 9

For an entire community of my down-and-out neighbors, this hygiene center is the only place to take a shower, wash clothes, repair a bike, or get a sweater, blanket, or hot meal…while also enjoying a little bit of community. 🧵 3 of 9

Then, about a month ago, I learned that the only hygiene center in my neighborhood was being shut down. The property was being sold...destined to be developed. 🧵 2 of 9

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

The body cam footage from Beker’s arrest has been released. “Hey, this is Officer Hingiss with the Whitefish Police Department. Just out with a male that only speaks Spanish, wondering if you want to check him?” flatheadbeacon.com/2025/12/19/c...

ABC reporting no powerful men were in the Epstein Files. That’s a lie. First, there was nothing but a bunch of redacted pages & a picture of Clinton. This is manipulation of the release is an effort to control the narrative. Do not fall for this effort to prey on the American people. #Pinks

Washington Post's new headline is still wrong. 1. The release was not "huge." 2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files. 3, No mention of extensive redactions. Support independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

👀 DOJ appears to have now removed one of the files in the latest release of the Epstein Files that contained Trump, with EFTA00000468.pdf, an image of a desk and drawer containing a photo of Trump with several unidentified women, no longer viewable or part of the list per OsintDefender on X

If Trump did nothing wrong, why is he acting guilty?

‘But but… something something… Mamdani… intifada…something something’

Elise Stefanik finds that enabling Trump's corruption and amplifying his hatred isn't the ticket to the top she thought it was.

Justice for Epstein’s victims requires full transparency and accountability. Yet AG Pam Bondi seems happy to blatantly defy the law explicitly requiring the release of the files with redactions for victims only. This lawless administration knows no bounds. Release the full files now.

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

This could also be about Jesse Singal and a whole cohort of bad faith actors that some progressives helped elevate because they all belong to the same private clubs

Like we literally do not have to take these fucking jagoffs or their thought experiments seriously. And when you tell them they’re full of shit they can’t function because they’ve only ever been told they’re exceptional

Lol one time I had a post go extremely viral over at the Nazi bar. Like picked up in the UK gossip rags. It was about hard boundaries with racist relatives and *this fucking guy* Friedersdorf slid into my DMs *just asking questions*. I told him to get fucked. Highly recommend if you get the chance.

Hey MI6, do us a solid – leak the Epstein files.

For the record, the law states that "No record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary." www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

lol when a rich, powerful white man begs for higher taxes, you know that vibes are about to shift towards eating the rich:

I turned this down and regret nothing about that choice

"I don't know." For a White House that claims Trump is involved in every policy decision, there's a lot he doesn't know about...

Steve Wynn is a horrible person who had to pay $10 million to women who accused him of sexual assault and who's wife helped drive the renaming of the Kennedy Center farce and anyway, you don't ever have to visit their casinos! www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

Excuse my language but this looks like absolute dog shit.

this is illegal

(2/2) President Kennedy proudly stood for justice, peace, equality, dignity, diversity, and compassion for those who suffer. President Trump stands in opposition to these values, and his name should not be placed alongside President Kennedy's.
