If you think beef prices are high now, wait until this gets to the US

A win! Thanks to everyone who spoke out. Following public backlash, Mike Lee backtracked on the National Parks proposal, which would have rescinded legislation protecting national parks and maintaining their boundaries as federal lands.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care. My latest for Democracy Docket lays out the case. Sign up now to access this and all premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Imagine a radiologist is using a cutting-edge AI tool to analyze your brain scan. The scan flags a problem in your "basilar ganglia." The problem is, there's no such thing. Read more from @haydenfield.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/health/71804...

Explicitly overturning the US Constitution 🙄

Rick Steves sees the world around him clearly—including the world right around where he lives.

If I could time-travel I would not go back in time to see dinosaurs or kill Hitler, I would go back in time to watch Heated Rivalry episode 5 at this bar

Hi. Court reporter here again. I can confirm about a third of local cases I see are domestic abuse of women and girls. Where do you think the men start? And almost every columnist tells you to look elsewhere.

A Trump-appointed judge was so upset with the living conditions in which ICE detained an immigrant in Long Island, New York, that he threatened to hold the government in contempt. “I have never encountered anything like this." trib.al/0xSiFOr

I think bigotry has become a kind of loyalty ritual among young republicans, it’s how you show you’re one of them www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

The best part of all the redactions, Pam Bondi could not have made Trump look more guilty if she tried. The right can spin this any way they want and the only come back by anybody has to be, "They redacted his name after they released his name and you are defending a pedophile."

Question: When the head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights division tweets out a false statement about an individual that results in them being barraged with death threats based on their religion and ethnicity, which governmental agency would look into whether that student’s Civil Rights had been infringed?

Vaccinations work! Australia has got NO CERVICAL CANCER since they began giving the HPV vaccine!

I honestly still can’t believe they did this it’s just photos on a desk! it’s not even in the same league as his fucking birthday note! removing it after the fact is the biggest possible “we are covering shit up” signal they could possibly send, couldn’t look guiltier if they tried

This has always been the plan, only now they have a PowerPoint presentation. What a ghoul. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

This was always the plan. www.yahoo.com/news/kushner...

HOLY SHIT the President of the United States is covering up an international child sex trafficking ring he has been associated with IN REAL TIME www.yahoo.com/news/article...

This is potentially a massive cover-up. Where is the corporate-owned legacy media that claims it exists to expose government corruption? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

i cannot escape the sense that what these people are fundamentally opposed to is political leadership

I’m laid up with the flu, but I had to peek my head out and say that this is *so* much worse than it seems. And it’s already pretty fucking bad! bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

Fun fact for the day: This tiny Scottish island supplies the granite for all Winter Olympic curling stones! Just like Minnesota is supplying 100% of the U.S. Olympic curling teams this year 🥌

"Nobody seems to have the cilantro gene in Mexico" yeah because they genetically selected away from it. Because it's a weakness

A total of 16 photos were taken down at some point on Saturday from the website that the Justice Department created. One featured an open drawer containing other photos, including at least one of President Trump. From NYT Politics: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/20/u...

The Epstein Files: The Biggest Political Coverup in Modern History The DOJ just scrubbed 16 Epstein files from its website, including a photo of Donald Trump, intensifying concerns that Trump is actively trying - & failing - to protect pedophiles. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

It’s impossible to overstate what a big deal this is for this legendary Kentucky brand. The last time Jim Beam closed down like this was during Prohibition. Trump’s tariffs & fight with Canada are surely to blame. www.kentucky.com/news/busines...

So surprised that Epstein's rapist friends support one another.

Worth reading this very carefully—not to spread panic, but to understand how civil rights are being threatened in specific ways by the use of new “indicators,” and of course all coming from an agency now run by conspiracy theorists

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Maria Farmer worked for Epstein in 1996 and reported his "child pornography" to the FBI back then. They ignored her.

MAKE U.S. CHILDHOOD VACCINE SCHEDULE SAME AS DENMARK'S? Huh? Risk in U.S. ≠ Denmark. The U.S. has a large and diverse population and a patchy system of medical care. Denmark has comprehensive free prenatal care and an infant mortality rate about half that of the United States. nyti.ms/4jaZ6xU

“The inflation data is missing numbers on the key areas that are costing you more — no data from October & November on food, shelter, and health care.” @jessicatarlov.bsky.social making the point that the Trump numbers should be “taken with a grain of salt”

The American government is killing people.

Epstein files tell us that Trump was introduced to a 14 year old child who Epstein was raping. Epstein brought the child to Mar-A-Lago as his date to meet Trump. She was raped for 2 more years after Trump met her. Trump could've stopped that evil on day one. Instead he enabled it for 2 more years

‘“I’ve waited 30 years,” she said. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”’

This should be enough. Trying to overthrow the government should have been enough. I don't think he will win but he will attempt or, at least, cosplay a 2028 run if he is alive. That should already be enough. We let this republic die to protect this man.

In a brutal abduction incident on December 18, 2025, ICE In Pittsburgh subjected a man to a horrific ordeal, involving beatings, pepper spraying, and choking.

These events took place in 1994. For context, Mar-a-lago was not opened as a private club until October 1995. Epstein was delivering young girls to Trump's private home.

FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES: During one of Doe's encounters with Epstein, he took her to Mar-a-Lago where he introduced her to its owner, Donald J. Trump. Introducing 14-year-old Doe to Donald J. Trump,... 1/2

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

RFK Jr. is going to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It will take a few years before the deaths and disabilities ramp up to a level that even the most vile Republican cannot tolerate. RFK Jr. will be long gone and unaccountable, as our babies die from preventable illness.

“Do you support ICE?” “Not really.” “Hell f*ckin’ nah.” These two dudes drink for free on us if we ever run into them in Minnesota 🍻

Crimes against humanity. Lock them up

This will be an absolute clusterfuck and people will die.

Garcia: This is not a real release. This is continuing a coverup that's been going on now for months.

This administration is so cruel & twisted that they force toddlers to defend themselves in #immigration court! Toddlers! This is pure insanity. I explained this as well as the horrifying conditions in detention & the #ICELawlessness & abuse to my MAGA neighbor & he said the kids deserved it.

"An academic discovers a paper attributed to him that does not exist has been cited 42 times" is a sentence with an actual referent in 2025.

The company doing this could have said no. Everyone involved could have.
