Before the Coffee Gets Cold, by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, is about a Tokyo café where visitors who sit in a certain seat can time travel - as long as they return before the coffee gets cold. A feel-good story about what's important in life. Read my review: www.sonderbooks.com/Fiction/befo...

Soon, we'll oversee a budget of more than $100 billion — and every dollar will reflect our commitment to working New Yorkers and delivering universal childcare. Good thing some little New Yorkers gave me a counting lesson today!

"You won't give me a Nobel Peace Prize? I'll show you!"

Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him. 👏👏👏

Dear Humans, Trump is in a full out panic. He hasn’t posted in 24 hours. It’s time to make him the pedophile formerly known as president. If you could do that God would be so happy. Love, God

Hey US Dept. Attorney General Todd Blanche, it's time to take her puppy away and throw her back into a real prison!

"Pete, you strike the second the Epstein Files are released and you keep killing and blowing things up until Americans stop talking about those files. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Have a hot teen bring me a Diet Coke."

None of this trump and Epstein stuff is surprising and yet seeing it in print still feels jarring. it’s easy to be cynical but we absolutely don’t know what will break through until it does.

They willingly gave him money because he gave them access to teenage girls to rape. It’s that simple.

Here’s the thing though: there’s virtually no evidence of blackmail in these docs from the estate. These men were WILLING PARTICIPANTS who believed themselves to be above the law and able to act with impunity. An unspoken pact among the super rich and powerful, no blackmail required.

And uniformly the men he was connected to either knew he was a pedophile and didn’t care, or were committing crimes themselves. Most made jokes about Epstein and the girls he was raping. It is so deep and so wide a network of trafficking, criminal corruption and influence that it is sickening.

He knew most of the men who were taken down by MeToo personally: Weinstein, Ratner, and many others. He knew all the worst abusers in Hollywood personally. He was connected to the most powerful men in the world and arguably controlling a lot of press coverage and even international relations.

Having spent a number of hours today fairly deep in the Epstein docs from his estate, one big takeaway is that Epstein had his hands in everything. Connections to MbS, MbZ, China, Israel, the UK, all over Europe, big tech, Bannon, Dems & Rs, academics, physicists, genetics experts and EVERYONE KNEW.

Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18? Jeffery Epstein: Though I'd like to answer that question, I'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights.

REP. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social : “Trump, if you didn’t do anything wrong, stop pressuring Republican members who signed the discharge petition for the Epstein files to get off… and just comply.”

We (the world at large) are making enough fucking babies. We're cool on the babies. We need to start FEEDING the babies and VACCINATING the babies and WELCOMING the babies to various places, but we have babies out the wazoo. They just might have different melanin levels

The wall is crumbling and even the rats and cockroaches can see that.

Ty Adelita Grijalva 🔥

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

every woman acutely understands this face.

Rep. Grijalva hated the long handshake and wiped off her hand afterwards. Good for her. That must’ve been weird.

epstein in dozens of pieces of written documentation: the presidential candidate my best friend loves coming over to my house for the young girls i rent reporters: we are getting closer to busting this thing wide open

What you want from a functional, thriving superpower is every reporter in the country spending all day combing through a cache of documents that all say, more or less, “hi [rich ruling class person], it was good seeing you last week for all the child sex crimes!”

I mean, think about it. If she DID find a way to record it, she would own the first born of the AG, DAG, and FBI Director.

Important to remember!!! 👇👇

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

Back when Bill Clinton was elected a 2nd time, my conservative cousin didn't like it, but said the higher purpose was that now his true nature would be revealed. And to be fair, it was his second term when it became clear he was a cheating adulterer. I'm thinking of that now.

Ohh that's RICH @ohhthatsrich.bsky.social

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

Tell Congress Right Now: Pass the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act

pro tip: innocent people don't work this hard to keep the files that prove their innocence a secret

“A federal judge is planning to release on bond hundreds of people who have been detained by federal immigration agents in Chicago since June.” I also wonder how many were deported so quickly they never had a chance to fight it.

A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

I mean Megyn Kelly seems like exactly the right spokesperson for the ACTUALLY IT’S EPHEBOPHILIA movement. Shitty people, shitty values, shitty culture.

This Isn’t Even The Worst Stuff.

TV conspiracies: we’ve hacked their computers but they’ve perfectly cleaned up the evidence! Real conspiracies: To: conspirator From: famous person Attachment: evidence.png

Well well well, if it isn't the thing literally everyone whose brain is functioning properly saw coming.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.
