watch every single ratfucker that bitched at kamala harris bc liz cheney get out here and say this is actually so based of him bc he’s so skilled and good at politics. watch

I hope everyone who screamed at Vice President Harris for doing like, two events with Liz Cheney keeps the same energy here

It is ironically the same POV of the ultra-nationalist far-right in Israel! "If you disagree with our policies, well, you're anti-Zionist!" But that's bullshit. You can fervently dissent against any policy by Israel's current government without opposing democratic self-determination.

And the thing is, Zionism is the belief in the right of the Jewish people to democratic self-determination in their ancestral homeland. The greatest con antisemites ever pulled was convincing so many people that if they have any criticism of the Israeli government, they're anti-Zionist.

it is frankly a *scathing* indictment of the White House press corps

he’ll put on a tux for the saudis, not so much for americans

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

The reason why Trump "flipped" on this (while still bitching a ton about it) is bc the vote to release these files was gonna happen anyways and it was either look weak via your party deserting you en mass or look weak by giving up ahead of time

I was!

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Bessent's not only hiding these docs, he bizarrely claimed Treasury has no role investigating them at all. It’s a lie. It's impossible someone with his background doesn’t know about Treasury's extensive role investigating the kinds of financial crimes Epstein must have been committing.

What would those records help reveal? Where Epstein got his money. How he acquired and controlled his victims. Who he trafficked them to. What individuals and banks enabled the trafficking. Who else had control of Epstein’s accounts, and what crimes they committed.

The Treasury Department has its own Epstein file containing thousands of bank records. My investigators reviewed a portion of those records last year. I've demanded the Secretary Bessent produce the file for further investigation. He has refused repeatedly.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

release the long form Epstein files

I see this suggestion all the time, and it's coming from a good place. But it's a terrible idea. Churches should not be taxed more than gardening clubs just because they fail to live up to their hype of being more than a social club.

Certain Leftists have decided that it's too hard to figure out what is actually antisemitic anymore.

hey @nataliereed84.bsky.social what the fuck is wrong with you? what is this race investigating bullshit?

It is astonishing to me that Mike Johnson said "the Senate is going to make changes to this" and John Thune said "no we're not" just like an hour later. Not a few days later after there'd been behind the scenes discussions. An hour later. Genuinely breathtaking display of a party in ruin.

I hope Chuck Schumer has a good dinner and rests his foot because it must be hard exercising putting it up everybody's asses all the time. He needs to relax and take a few days off maybe. He's been busy.

thread:

As I've been saying, Schumer is better at his job than random Bluesky poster who can't even give an accurate description of his job

I’m sure Trump is going to try to pull something, but it’s not just about him, it’s about them. Any justice they can get matters. Every single name in there, every single bank involved, however far this goes, that’s all justice. 14/

Remember, this is not just about sticking it to Trump or seeing how Republicans voted. This about real people. I was in a meeting with Rep Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) today and she said the survivors told her “we are the Epstein Files and we want to be released.” THAT’S what this is about. 13/

he made the right calculation, cause it fucking was. If Schumer hadn’t done this, we don’t know if Thune would have brought it to a vote. We don’t know when Thune would have brought it to a vote, we don’t know if Trump might have changed his mind and tried to get Senators to back down. 12/

Why go through the whole song and dance when the momentum is here TODAY? When Trump could change his mind tomorrow? Why have it in Thune’s hands at all? So he asked for the bill, which isn’t even in the Senate yet, to be agreed to with unanimous consent, and, 11/

I was in a meeting with Senate staff this morning because, even though it was expected to pass overwhelmingly, as of 9am west coast time, we were still expecting Thune to need to be pushed to bring this to the floor. Instead, Chuck Schumer said fuck it. 10/

It's not even that it's too hard, it's that antizionism is actually an extremely powerful and popular presence within leftist and cultural spaces (despite their claims of being an abominably persecuted ideology) and they don't want to risk their social standing within the movement by challenging it.

I think it's safe to say that the ship is no longer leaking at this juncture, and is now actively taking on water.

Hahahahaha fuck yeah.

lmao

morbidly curious about whether trump’s very special birthday boy status at SCOTUS only applies to him or to any idiot republican who can’t file the proper paperwork

this doesn’t seem like a plan so much as a series of reactions

lowered inhibitions, lack of awareness about how public behavior is being perceived, i am sure it’s nothing

sort of notable that even *this* press corpse full of sycophants and morons can smell his blood in the water and are starting to slowly circle him

elderly tariff otaku president having a meltdown tantrum day after delivering one of his most incoherent speeches yet yesterday, looking great as ever, things are fine, everything’s fine

WASHINGTON (AP) — House votes overwhelmingly to force release of Epstein files, sending bill once opposed by Trump to the Senate.

“Things happen.” Jamal Khashoggi was a journalist and Washington Post columnist who was literally murdered and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government inside a Saudi consulate. Shameful. So shameful.

this is obscene and evil

If you want larger homes in urban areas to be available and affordable to young families then you need to build a LOT of studio and one-bedroom apartments. Otherwise, groups of adult roommates will outbid them for the 2- and 3-bedroom units in walkable neighborhoods.

because a bunch of you can’t hear dogwhistles and think this is Based or something, the foreign country she’s talking about here is “Jews”. Just wanted to clear that one up for yall.

Goyim when a Republican gets heavily antisemitic while coding her words correctly: "You know she's making a lot of sense now"

Ok but this is still just antisemitism from her? She's saying Israel owns Trump.

“Quiet, piggy.” That’s how Donald Trump responded to a female reporter asking about the Epstein files. That is the attitude of a life-long abuser of women and girls, and exactly why Republicans are scared of the Epstein files.

Shit, gotta mute Wicked again

lol, lmao at johnson just making every single problem thune’s problem now

'I'm Ryan Lizza, I left Politico after I accidentally ended up in a throuple with the sociopathic 71-year old nepobaby who now leads a government crusade to put the lead back in paint. My fiance fell for him in the back of a van he exclusively uses to pick up exotic roadkill. Welcome to my blog.'

Why must I be cursed with Knowledge?

Trump snapping at a woman reporter and telling her "quiet, piggy" is also something that would have been covered way more in his first term, but is now basically covered up by most outlets.

I know it likely does not need to be said, but with Trump's "quiet piggy!" moment its a good time to remind everyone that one common sign of dementia is people becoming crasser, ruder, and generally losing inhibitions about proper behavior.
