After reading the Epstein files something in me broke for good. I have no desire to watch Hollywood worship itself ever again. The red carpets, the galas, the celebrity machine — it all feels next level grotesque now. 🧵

Merkley: "Is the Epstein investigation closed or open?…The FBI said last year in July that it had closed the Epstein investigation." Blanche: "I don't understand what 'Epstein investigation' means. As for Jeffrey Epstein himself? Yes, he's dead."

Facts…

Just worked the polls today. TWO long-time R voters were disgusted with the R ballot. One tore it up and stormed out. The other was more strategic, went out and got a sample ballot from the D table, and wrote in D candidates everywhere. It's really happening, people. More and more Rs are FED UP!!!

MORE! Colbert is experiencing a massive, historic ratings surge! Monday's episode drew 3.3 million viewers, and for the week, Colbert BEAT ABC AND NBC COMBINED. But go ahead and tell us it's not profitable.

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

Dear Suppermarkets. It's better that people can afford to buy your food than watch them starve People will think better of you if you pull together with us on this. If people can afford to buy things you make money Price capping is normal in France Ted Talk finished

Tesco CEO pay increased by almost one million last year — such corporate dominance shows the ̶c̶o̶s̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶l̶i̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶affordability crisis is manufactured.

Omg. The security guard that was killed in that shooting yesterday was a father of 8! I hope there is a gofundme for the family.

Canadian Retailers Refusing to Sell US Goods Pictured is an employee of a Toronto, Canada liquor store removing all US liquor from its shelves. It is estimated that billions of dollars in US products will now NOT be sold annually in Canada. ALL BECAUSE OF TRUMP'S THREATS OF A MILITARY TAKEOVER!

For starters… Who the fuck has a personal criminal defense lawyer? Answer: A CRIMINAL!!!

This is the most corrupt act by a sitting President in modern American history. It is not close. I will use every tool I have in Congress to fight it. I will support every lawsuit challenging it. This must not stand.

This is in addition to the $1.8 billion dollar January 6 Slush Fund to pay people Trump says were politically targeted, including the roughly 1,600 people charged in connection with the attack on the Capitol.

his trusts, his affiliates, and his family from any federal claim, prosecution, audit, damages, or action of any kind. Permanent immunity for the President of the United States, his family, and his entire business empire.

It appears that our federal government is working overtime to cover up *all* of Donald’s crimes.

Minnesota Is Doing What the Federal Government Won’t: Holding ICE Accountable

Well done, Yale!

A lively thought just occurred to me. What if Trump’s retribution candidates all turned on him like he was Julius Caesar?

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

Maybe Bluesky went down because we don’t post enough pet pics. Here’s a photo of Bonnie, just in case. #DoingOurPart

ICE goons lied under oath about shooting a man in the leg and falsely charged their victims with assault instead. They refused to cooperate and covered for their agents. Without video, an innocent man would have been imprisoned. But now one goon will face justice with four 2nd degree felony charges.

Because of course he did. It’s all about intimidation for the next ruling.

Congress works 140 days a year and earns $174K annually, plus full benefits. How can anyone survive on that without a few stock trades and a little insider trading? They get 225 days off a year and think it’s okay to hold the federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour for 17 years.

Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social with @brotherjones.bsky.social in Alabama…

Three people — including two teens, ages 17 and 15 — carried out at least ten random shootings across Austin, Texas over the weekend, leaving four people wounded. According to police, the teens used stolen firearms during the string of attacks.

That $1.7 million is outright theft for personal gratification.

Nearly 800,000 Louisianians voted yesterday and won, rejecting all five state constitutional amendments put forward by Gov. Jeff Landry...

Daughter bakes pastries for her lab every Monday (proofs them in the fridge overnight, then bakes first thing). Today it’s rhubarb custard knots.

We Are a Democracy! “We don't live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic." This is like saying "I don't have a dog, I have a golden retriever." A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. You didn't catch anyone in a gotcha. You told everyone you don't know what words mean.

LOCK HIM UP!!!! #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Any President that sues his own government, while in office, should immediately be impeached.

Mike Johnson thinks $174,000 isn’t enough to survive without insider trading. But $15/hour is too much to ask for everyone else. Every single day, these goons prove how disconnected they are from everyday Americans.

The time is coming when I’m going to see something like this happen right in front of me and I’m going to snap because I can’t take the cold narcissist society we’re turning into. I’ve beyond had enough of this type of stuff. #cdnpoli #uspoli #WTF
