A lot of civilians are going to be murdered to avoid releasing the Epstein files

They are the gestapo and must be abolished

Anyone blaming Canada for not getting an agreement with this lunatic should shut it

The Democrats need to make Weekly Republican Sex Criminal part of their strategy

“We will rebuild the White House as it was and pay for it by seizing assets from Trump, the Trump Organization, and his family.”

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Basically all US policy is at this point about indulging Trump’s irrational obsessions, petty grudges, and corrupt grifts, and then taking secondary and tertiary measures to mask the consequences of those policies.

😕

You tell me it's about class, not race, yet 300,000 Black women, many of whom clawed their way to a higher economic standing, lost their jobs. But on the flipside, the government has been hiring borderline unemployable working class mostly White people to work

The man who doesn’t read and can’t handle a briefing furloughed the people guarding America’s most dangerous weapons.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

A US football field is 57,600 sqft. At 90,000 sqft the Washington Commanders could play home games at Trump's White House Stadium. Sure, seating for fans would be limited, but there is only ONE person the Commander-in-Chief is interested in pleasing.

ripping up the white house on a whim to build a grand ballroom during a shutdown in which you are illegally firing thousands of workers, with stagflation setting in thanks in large part to your tariffs and willful destruction of the dollar. versailles shit. fiddling while rome burns shit. classic

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

Warped priorities: 17 NYT news stories on the Louvre jewel heist (so far); 3 NYT news stories on 7 MILLION PEOPLE attending No KIngs Day events (including one on late-night comedians and one on Trump's "brown liquid" video.)

So far about 50 - 50 on this one

> @newyorker.com

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

We need to remove the cancer in the Oval Office to restore funding to children’s cancer research.

The President is suing the government?

Sue the Trumps for the cost of restoration. Claim that in paying for alterations to the White House without Congressional approval or funding, the Trumps are personally responsible for the cost of restoration. Even if the government doesn't win they could mire the Trumps in litigation hell for years

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

Is that the most notable feature of the video?

the media has made a huge deal about Neutrality and Not Editorializing and it all falls apart when you realize they are too afraid to publish a factual description of the video Trump posted

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

Essential to get in that post nap snooze.

Much smaller stakes here, but this is Donald Trump re-stealing from Santos’s victims to give to Santos himself. Why? Because fuck it, if you’re on Trump’s side you get to do it.

So great!

The fundamental problem for Democrats continues to be their lack of influence on the media environment. Republicans can gin up a media firestorm on the thinnest pretense, but Democrats can’t even drive any coverage for batshit insane things like Trump commuting George Santos’ convictions.

block this shit

Not sure why exactly, but someone needing a blow job came to mind.

Only in the Federalist Society academic bubble could you say that the government going in and splitting up geographically contiguous communities of Black voters in order to prevent them from ever being a majority in any House district is "government not taking race into account."

i mean, i don't think it's a mystery NYT

Please enjoy my cartoon in today's Toronto Star

Another of many examples of "conservatism" as fan fiction.

Starting January 1st, Californians will be able to buy five-packs of insulin pens via CalRx® for a maximum recommended price of $55 per pack. Every Californian should be able to access life-saving medications without breaking the bank.

Truth. I was a part of Young Republicans in the 60s/70s on a college campus, and we openly joined with the SDS and other "liberal" organizations to protest against the Viet Nam War, for civil rights and many other causes. We hated Nixon as much as the Dems did.

Holy Crap!. This is amazing! Newsom certainly has a great social media game.

Trump's GESTAPO.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in. The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight. They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand. Spinning ball of death
