Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down? Federal workers aren’t furloughed. Funding for social services doesn’t dry up. Failure to pass a budget triggers an election. It puts the politicians jobs on the line. They get the budget passed.

Trump pardoned them, but state charges are state charges.

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

The question is did a sitting president have a political liability assassinated while in federal custody. THAT IS THE QUESTION!!! And I think we all kinda know he did.

@plaintanjane.bsky.social omg!

@kenlburns.bsky.social is the best American documentarian ♥️🇺🇸♥️

Not three months ago, Bondi and Patel stated unequivocally that there was nothing more to investigate (but that is indeed the reason the will give for not releasing the files now)

The algorithms are the Death Star. That’s so cheesy/cringe but also true.

I beg everyone to switch from “for you” to “following” in every platform which even allows this. Be your own curator of reality.

Far below the top political tiers, when you think about the perverse incentives around who would even be willing to run for office… We cannot hope for sanity without treating algorithms and those who profit from them as the real enemy.

It doesn't matter if you are a civilian on a boat or a civilian in the desert. Murder is murder, and due process is due process. There is no justifying crimes against humanity.

If you can find it in yourself to justify murder, torture, and crimes against humanity, yes you will justify child rape and murder too.

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

So he’s gone after Massie and Greene tonight. I guess Boebert and Mace are next.

“Quiet! Quiet!” 😬

This is just one of many journalism outlets and law enforcement bigwigs who have in the last 24 hrs said: maybe we should review how Epstein died. And a) yes and b) that is such a bad trend line for GOP. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMTg8geL/

From Hollywood to holy water: Pope Leo invites stars to the Vatican

In the past 36 hrs I've seen clips of Rogan & Musk rethinking the assassination attempt on Trump; Nick Fuentes claiming MAGA is dead; Tucker Carlson saying Massie is an honorable man who lives more by MAGA values than Trump; & MTG saying she doesn't worship DJT. She's America first. 👇🏼 Dominoes!

NYT: “Epstein alleged in emails that Trump knew of his conduct. In a message obtained by Congress, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald J. Trump spent hours at his house with one of Epstein’s victims.” Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell in 2011: “that dog that hasn’t barked is trump…”

Marge: “It’s astonishing really how hard Trump is fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out”

Life and death in one frame: a dog cuddles up to a soldier against the backdrop of a fire after a Russian strike. As the author of the video says, the little one from Donbas has now been taken into good hands, so he is safe. 📹 vladislavvodka/TikTok

PRO PUBLICA: “The Strategy Group’s ad work is the first known example of money flowing from Noem’s agency to businesses controlled by her allies and friends.” These people are all so corrupt it’s actually insane. Looting our country to enrich themselves. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

If Trump has nothing to hide, why does he act like a man desperate to bury the truth?

1. On Air Force One, President Trump makes clear that the DOJ isn’t releasing the Epstein files due to politics. He doesn’t say it’s due to ongoing appeals or not wanting to upend longstanding DOJ policy; it’s all about politics.

“.. the latest example of how the administration is seeking to provide legal relief and potentially taxpayer-funded compensation for those Trump considers aligned with him or wronged by his perceived political enemies.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Still working our way through approx. 23,000 pages of Epstein related documents released by House Oversight Cmte. In another email.. this one from Feb. 2017.. Epstein references Trump ==>

Do we know if Trump is melting down? He can’t get revenge on Epstein, he’s dead. He can’t get revenge on Maxwell, she’ll talk. He must be jumping out of his skin

After Ghislaine Maxwell lied to Todd Blanche, someone waived her sex offender status and moved her to Club Fed with "OUT" custody - allowing her to work outside the prison walls. 3 months ago, I got her Bureau of Prisons points screen as proof. We still don't know who approved all this.

There’s a reason why these losers chose children.

Zeteo has made a searchable database of all new 26,000 files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Despite Trump saying this is a scam with "all arrows pointing to the Democrats," these have a whole lot of Trump in there. In fact, he's mentioned in these more than anyone else. Take a look for yourself:

Scoop: The FAA has asked forcefully-relocated Newark-area air traffic controllers to stay in Philadelphia for an additional two years as it looks to bolster its still-low staffing numbers (via @theaircurrent.com) theaircurrent.com/air-traffic-...

California Rep @ericswalwell.bsky.social takes questions from @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social panel on all manner of topics, including @wsj.com reporting on Trump admin's mortgage fraud smear: 'These allegations are false, I have one mortgage“ — Eric is the most honest, direct, & forthcoming MOC’s.

George Conway decries “ridiculous cognitive dissonance” on Trump: From COVID to Russia to Epstein, Trump has dismissed scandal after scandal as a hoax. @gtconway.bsky.social joins The Weeknight to urge Americans to look past the spin.

"Cut our time in hell by half”: Rep. @ericswalwell.bsky.social urges a Democratic majority in 2026 and explains why winning back the midterms is crucial in the fight against Trump.

REP. MASSIE (a Republican): “Trump will protect you if you vote the wrong way… if you vote to cover up for pedophiles — but I would remind my Republican colleagues this vote is going to be on your record longer than Trump is going to be president.”

“So you’ve heard nothing from this administration as this has been playing out?” Epstein Survivor Annie Farmer: “No.”

A little bit of excitement from last night. The northern lights very rarely ever make it down into central California. Had to go out and see what I could capture. #aurora #photography #landscape #art #bluesky #california #canon

If Trump had forced sex with an underage girl, should he still be our President?

A lot of Republicans in the House are mad that the provision that could send millions of tax dollars to eight GOP senators in part *because it didn't send money to people charged with crimes re: 1/6* (all of whom were pardoned by Trump).

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.

@adelitaforcongress.bsky.social calls out Trump’s pressure amped-up pressure campaign against House Republicans — this Is terrible PR for him — even though he can veto any legislation passed by the House or Senate, HE IS DEMANDING THEY go along with his cover up for pedophiles & sex-traffickers.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

It's a little known fact, but Thune does not have total control of the floor. Any senator can file cloture and force a vote. (Schumer filed cloture despite being minority leader on an amendment to force the release of the Epstein files; Republicans voted to block.) www.c-span.org/clip/us-sena...

Keep in mind there is no law saying bagels are only for the morning. If you want a 9PM bagel, that’s fine. You can just do that.
