Its going pretty wild rn, check it out.

Chat is it a good idea to physically invade the pope's hometown

Pulling on this thread, Landon Thomas Jr., wrote the big profile of Epstein in New York magazine in 2002 where Trump said Epstein liked "beautiful women ... on the younger side." It turns out in 2016 Thomas told Epstein that someone, he thought Trump, was denying Trump ever made that comment.

Christine Pelosi issued that weird cryptic warning a few years back that "some of our faves" might be on the Epstein list & if one of those "faves" turns out to be Larry Summers it'll be hilarious because A) he sucks and who gives a shit and B) the only people Larry Summers is a "fave" of are dicks.

One mistake we have got to stop making is thinking that whether or not someone reads or writes well indicates whether they are smart or not.

Being right

Happy 250th America. Time to face our shit, now that an Epstein tornado has basically smothered and covered everything in an unavoidable layer of it.

I know it’s more complicated than this, but this really does feel like the profound moral rot and laziness allowed to set in after the US got drunk off winning the Cold War coming home to roost

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

it makes sense that Trump‘s best friend would say this because he’s putting it mildly

I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

As a former federal prosecutor who focused on sex trafficking cases, it is true that there is a “difference” between criminals who traffic 15 year olds and criminals who traffic 5 year olds. One gets a greater sentence than the other. Both are aggravated felonies with a 15 year mandatory minimum.

I am deliriously laughing at the image of Boebert facing dawning revelation that she's actually found the pedophile elite conspiracy ring and that she's standing right in the middle of it

jeffrey epstein spent thanksgiving *2017* with President Donald Trump at Mar a Lago and we only know this now i'm going to go insane

It’s really hard to call 23,000 documents cherry-picking.

lol, lmao

This photographer and protest-documenter has been doing important work for years. He could have, probably should have, "gone viral" a long time ago. In this post he wrestles with what that's like when you're telling real stories of real people's deep pain, and you actually care

🔥 The White House released an article on Monday citing a DoorDash report as confirmation that "inflation has been tamed." I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."

Helen Andrews, currently the toast of the far right for her opposition to women’s workforce participation, begins her essay on “The Great Feminization” writing about how badly Summers was treated for saying that women were naturally stupider than men.

Questions for "journalist" Michael Wolff: 1. Why did you sit on your emails with Jeffrey Epstein for many years? 2. Why were you giving Jeffrey Epstein advice on how to blackmail Donald Trump? 3. What's wrong with you? What's your game? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

At a special city council meeting tonight, Newport City Manager Nina Vetter confirmed that the contractor Team Housing Solutions has withdrawn its letter of intent to lease the property at the city's municipal airport. Story to come for @oregoncapitalchronicle.com, still have a 2 hour meeting to go.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

The House passed a bill Wednesday to end the nation’s longest government shutdown, sending the measure to President Donald Trump for his signature after a historic 43-day funding lapse that saw federal workers go without paychecks, travelers stranded at airports and people lining up at food banks.

So is Trump going to be more upset about being outed as a despicable creep like Epstein, or about being outed as a despicable creep BY Epstein, the only person Trump ever seemed to consider a friend?

I’m not fixing that typo, it’s a sign of wealth and power

If these are the marching orders the admin's given their media influencers, the facts must be real bad.

New York Times killed Weinstein and Epstein stories but just asked Ms Rachel if she was funded by Hamas.

An entire industry was created on their last approval of hemp and now because they got donations from the liquor and cigarette industry they do a 180?!? Everything they decide now is based on donor money to them personally. Public be damned.

Here are the Senators who voted to criminalize hemp products:

Do not underestimate the hemp issue. That’s gonna haunt whoever voted for it .

DO NOT SHARE THIS INSIGHT, Derek!

Dem wins: *Minibus funds food stamps, veterans and Congress through Sept. 30. *Shutdown RIFs reversed and no more RIFs at least through Jan. 30. *Promise of a vote, but not an outcome on ACA extension in Senate in December. (Many Republicans already promising to kill it.)

Jeffrey Epstein emails Peter Thiel about meeting and hanging out with Woody Allen: Epstein: any interest in Woody Allen? Thiel: Would be cool to meet him sometime, but don't go out of the way to make this happen... Are we planning something the weekend of the 13th-14th? Epstein: 13th afternoon

🚨 EXPLODING WHALE DAY🚨 November 12, 1970: A 40 ton whale carcass lays, rotting, on an Oregon beach. A crowd has gathered to watch the whale carcass be dynamited to dispose of it. HILARITY*. ENSUES. *”blubber snowstorm” REMASTERED VIDEO! www.youtube.com/embed/V6CLum...

I am shooting my shot. I love writing op-eds. @teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you. Signed, A Black woman who writes for the public

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle. Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger. Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

omg, I didn't read it as criticism at all and am so thrilled you're even familiar with our Hydra. Just wanted to make sure everyone who saw your post knows that the goal is to build a fully staffed alt-global newsroom.

Is this that deal? It was reported at the time and then sank from view.

Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.

Absolute carnage in the family group chat as my cousin posts a Christmas riddle from her fiancé’s office that no one can figure out, only to find that someone in the office got ChatGPT to make up the riddle and it’s gibberish that doesn’t have a solution

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

Grijalva: That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files. Justice cannot wait another day.

I don’t care if pope John Paul the second is in there…. GO to jail and go to Hell!

Endorsed

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.

We really need to start asking who paid off his debts again

Breaking on MSNBC: A source close to former CIA Director John Brennan confirms he has received a subpoena in connection with the Florida grand jury investigation. All the subpoenas in this round asked for docs related to the prep of the 2016 intel assessment on Russian election interference.
