This is the most glamorous opening to an article about a white supremacist flattering journalist who lied to her readers and editors while having an affair with narcissistic crank who eats roadkill, swims in sewer water, will cause children to die, and is 50 years her senior that I've ever read.

How much money will Trump get as kickbacks from his gang of insurrectionists after they sue the DOJ and Trump pays them off with taxpayers' money?

A pre-dawn multi-agency raid in Georgetown left Latino residents handcuffed, homes torn apart, and now being told to vacate without proper notice. No warrant shown. Racial targeting alleged. This is what state violence looks like. migrantinsider.com/p/scoop-lati...

NEW: The DOJ is in settlement talks with Mike Flynn for $50M. They're robbing us blind. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

You might be thinking, wait, didn't Dems win virtually every election held this year? You're forgetting that in DC, "Democrats are flailing" is not a comment on empirical reality, it is a kind of core ideological truth, a load-bearing pillar in their weltanschauung.

Whether it's garbage NYT left-bait or right wing flood-the-zone nonsense that we all pile on to, we are letting the wrong people set our overall information agenda in a very deep and fundamental way. And it's a very serious mistake.

somehow Trump appears in Epstein's emails more than Epstein himself

Reporting this straight, with no context until paragraph umpty-eleven, is journalistic malpractice. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... It's not hard! "In a transparent attempt to deflect attention from the growing body of evidence tying him to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein...."

Americans cite corruption as the #1 threat to our future. Trump is running the most transparently corrupt White House in history. Democrats should be running hard on an anti-corruption platform—and I'm psyched to see my old friend @cammiecroft.bsky.social leading that charge.

One. Special. Boy.

it's hard to keep up with the daily outrages and abuses, but the lawless use of force by this administration - everything from this below to bombing Iran to domestic deployment - is pervasive & criminal.

We don’t need 9 Wizards In Robes to figure out if “national emergency” laws give this guy the power to randomly alter tariffs on a daily basis

Pam Bondi on Feb. 21: Epstein client list is “sitting on my desk right now.” Bondi’s DOJ on July 7: There’s no client list. As for other Epstein files, “no further disclosure would be appropriate.” Trump on Nov. 14: Investigate Bill Clinton over Epstein. Bondi, also Nov. 14: Coming right up, boss!

Hugely important. I was just discussing the false electors schemes with my students, and they commented on the public's almost total lack of knowledge of these plots. But they were clear instances of electoral fraud and of trying to disenfranchise one's fellow citizens. They were an intimate part/

America's network of democratic alliances was a jewel. Never before had a great power relied on cultivating voluntary relationships, leading to the richest, most powerful country in history, and benefitting the world relative to the alternative. Then America decided to throw it away. And for what?

Matt Gaetz Did It For Love

Dems should send a clear message to Trump's underlings: Are you sure you want to trust Donald Trump, of all people, when he tells you that what he’s directing you to do is lawful, and that you’ll be protected later as a result? newrepublic.com/article/2032...

“This could indicate awareness of potential criminal exposure,” one legal expert tells me, and “may reflect consciousness that they’re in legally treacherous territory.” Remember, the Admiral overseeing bombings just resigned. Did he think the orders are illegal? newrepublic.com/article/2032...

Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2032...

Read this 2020 story by the Guardian and you'll understand why the focus on Epstein scares Trump so much. Trump is a sex predator with a history of appalling behavior toward teenage girls.

I'd just like to point out that we spent an entire shipment of air defense interceptors' worth of money on new signs for a name change that isn't even legally the name of the DoD. Ukraine is currently experiencing rolling blackouts from Russian strikes, btw.

So old I remember when it was considered a political liability to hand out a presidential pardon to your son in law’s drug dealer buddy who went on to commit crimes of violence and sexual offenses. nypost.com/2025/11/11/u...

Once again @govpritzker.illinois.gov I ask, “What exactly is stopping you from having the Illinois State Police protect these people and their exercise of their 1st amendment rights?” Until you make it clear that local law enforcement is there to protect your constituents, your big talk is empty.

“Standing for our neighbors, we shall not be moved”

They sing in unison against the atrocities behind the walls.

Priests being arrested

I’m trying to keep up. They’re going after press now. Press who’d thanked the cops only moments earlier. Did they think they’d be immune?

Serious credit to protestors consistently going to ICE's Broadview detention center—including members of the clergy, candidates for office such as Kat Abughazaleh, and other people putting themselves on the line—to keep drawing public attention, while also stretching the regime's limited resources.

Biden didn’t release the Epstein files because Merrick Garland was actively investigating Epstein/Maxwell co-conspirators all the way up until January 2025. Then Trump shuttered the probe. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

Democrats are going to be attacked on crime, support for "those people" (fill in blank) & tax & spend. So, why not go out with a bold HELL YEAH Robin Hood agenda & have the attacks be about how, gasp, you wanna make shit affordable & tax the rich for it?

Sharp point from @brianbeutler.bsky.social: The fact that as many as 50 Republicans are expected to vote for release of the Epstein files shows attacking Trump's corruption and depravity actually can divide GOP, so not *everything* has to be "affordability." www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

The “peace president” is starting a war.

The most corrupt presidential administration in American history. Wherever you look there’s a scandal.

*nothing* about these strikes is legal. the uses of force constitute aggression and murder. there is no case that can be made for their lawfulness.

Calling them "frameworks" isn't better than calling them "deals" or "agreements." The news is that this is wildly illegal under both US domestic law & multiple international treaties. Not reporting that in the headlines & ledes is a choice. Others remain readily available. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

A reminder that in 2022, President Biden signed the “Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act,” eliminating the statute of limitations to file civil action for federal sex offenses. Seems relevant.

sure is a shame we didn't have an independent DOJ for 4 years to look into these extremely damning and very public allegations of rape and sex trafficking by a sitting member of Congress

This is so cool: Copper, which makes induction stoves with li-ion batteries integrated, is going to build *10,000* of these suckers for use in New York public housing. Better cooking, easier cleaning, grid resiliency built in. Win win win.

For all you "stop going on about Russia's involvement" people out there:

megyn kelly keeping this one fresh

This is the story I've been waiting to read ever since @josepagliery.bsky.social and @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social busted Gaetz four years ago... www.thedailybeast.com/gaetz-paid-a...

Ah yes, in Germany they called this "lebensraum" But one thing that's important to note: this was their policy back during the campaign too even as people believed for some reason that they would only deport crininals

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

The "Justice" Department and the Republican Party are the same thing now.

Fantastic and important piece on Congress's surrender of its power of the purse.

nazi shit
