Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NEW: President Trump mentioned over 1,000 times in Epstein files, more than anyone else. (gift) www.miamiherald.com/article31290...

Mafia governance in action "the only offer on the table was that I needed to resign by 5pm that day or the DOJ would basically rain hell on UVA... If I did not resign that day, I was told that the DOJ would extract/block hundreds of millions of dollars from UVA before they would even negotiate."

I see it in my bank account, but glad to know it’s being shared more universally so the admin can’t ignore it anymore. Note - we eat zero avocado toast here.

These are the kind of things that make the trumps relatable to the working class

Thanksgiving is the time to share your blessings with your family and your closest, most enigmatic friends.

My takeaway from Epstein document dump was that Jeffrey Epstein in 2018/early 2019 was increasingly telling people he had dirt on Trump and Trump knew everything about child sex ring. To protect Trump's re-election campaign, Trump's DOJ charged Epstein in July 2019. Then Epstein committed "suicide."

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

In other emails, Epstein described his relationships with foreign leaders, advised Steve Bannon on how to increase his influence in Europe and offered his (mostly, but not entirely, dim) assesment of Trump to those who asked. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

I’d started to wonder whether the Epstein files were a bit of a macguffin, but no no they implicate the President of the United States in a pedophilia ring—and show the entire Republican Party as well as much of the federal government has been baldly covering it up. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Donald Trump “spent hours at my house,” “knew about the girls,” and “that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.”

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.” Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

The most blatantly and obviously corrupt admin in US history by far. Will ANY Republican have the integrity to speak up about this, the pardons, the crypto scam, ANYTHING?

Schumer allows a provision to go into the supposedly “clean” CR to allow people like Ted Cruz to file lawsuits for money over Jack Smith’s J6 investigation. Amazing Dem leadership in the senate. Thanks Chuck!

There is still time to contact your representatives and share your concerns.

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

The top 10% of U.S. households hold 87% of all stocks, nearly 85% of private businesses, and 44% of real estate assets, per Ritholtz. #EconSky

It took just a matter of days to figure out that four years earlier, John Durham had not just not authenticated John Solomon’s “smoking gun,” but he had in fact concluded that the very email Solomon called a smoking gun was instead, “a composite of several emails.” That is — a fabrication.

Republicans have just rejected the Democrats offer to end the shutdown, per CBS

Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

The corporate propaganda machine colluding with the Trump propaganda machine to lie to the American people about Thanksgiving.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

big night for dems, sure, but the real winners are the aloof wives quietly steering mayoral campaigns from behind the scenes

He’s not wrong. All I see are billionaires helping billionaires while everyone else pays for it.

“Allen received notice of his termination from the White House after he made efforts to provide key information to prosecutors…The information he turned over was constitutionally required, two of them said…” www.reuters.com/world/us/wat...

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

JHC

So Trump says he knows nothing about the pardon he issued for a billionaire who just so happened to make his family a fortune in crypto. This clip is going viral for a reason. Don’t underestimate a struggling American public’s slowly building intolerance for this kind of blatant corruption.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Uhhhh????

Healthcare but only for my friends

No notes

Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

Mike Johnson bemoans able-bodied men collecting healthcare benefits from the government while not working--exactly what Mike Johnson is currently doing.

MAGA: We're losing our farms! We're losing our jobs! We're losing our healthcare! We're losing our savings! We're hungry and can't afford groceries! Trump: LOOK, I RE-DID MY BATHROOM!!

Rep. Ryan Zinke: "Our economy is not great."

This chart from Charlie Bilello shows that cumulative inflation is much worse than politicians and experts want to admit #EconSky #Inflation

JD Vance: “We have let in too many immigrants.” President Reagan: “Being a beacon of the world for immigrants is one of the most important sources of America’s greatness.” (TLDW: The GOP has lurched to the extreme right)

I put off doing the inevitable…I called my insurance provider. My current premium is $480. It will be almost $900 next year. Thanks, Trump voters.

But Hunter’s laptop!!! 🙄

We give corporations like this massive tax breaks, then the middle & lower class get higher tax rates to help pay for assistance programs to subsidize the low wages paid by those same companies. Rich investors benefit as the companies make $ hand over fist. 🥴

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.
