James Talarico: “There is another war in the Middle East. There is a cost of living crisis that is crushing the middle class. There is a secret pedophile ring & no one has been prosecuted — the people responsible for all that are now trying to distract us with the same old tired culture wars”

The war will be over when I feel it in my bone spurs. #PutinPuppet

Every day I collect another piece of supporting evidence for the idea that the pandemic made a dangerously large plurality, if not an outright majority, of Americans go absolutely feral. Zero sense of or interest in how to interact with other humans in shared spaces. None.

Six years ago this week, an unplanned disaster engulfed the world. Trump catastrophically mismanaged it. The economy collapsed and 1m+ died. Now reelected, he’s on the verge of topping that, only this time the disaster is entirely of his own making. The results may be even worse.

Congratulations to our newest cabinet secretary for somehow finding a way to escape the life trajectory to which all previous humans named "Markwayne" have been limited (dying while trying to set a speed record in a boat painted to look like a pack of Marlboros)

Haha! They’re throwing Vance under the bus.

I just learned that Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Khomenei are not the same person. Here's my plan for regime change in Iran....(1/23)

Turns out that elected politicians retaining and acting on any sort of shame was a load-bearing part of the US Constitution

I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.

Don't let your eyes fool you; this is exactly what it looks like... a modern-day American Gestapo. The USA is an absolute disgrace of a country.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Pack the court with so many people that you won't even know their names. That it won't even be news when one of them dies. That they have to meet in an NFL stadium. That their relatives won't realize they're related to a Supreme Court justice. That they quit because they don't feel important.

The fact that 10% federal judges are Black, a group that compromises about 8% of law school graduates, show the corruption of DEI. The fact that two-thirds of the Supreme Court are in the Federalist Society, a cult that includes 5% of law school graduates, shows the triumph of meritocracy.

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files? www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Carlson: "Do you see why the US ambassador hosting a convicted betrayer of his own country who is encouraging Americans to continue to betray their country would seem shocking?"

When we topple the Trump regime we should claw back every dime his family pilfers from the U.S. Treasury. Include all the fines & restitution he allowed fraudsters to get out of paying via corrupt pardons. Costing Americans billions. Stop MAGA now.

NEW: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s husband has been barred from entering Labor Department HQ after two female staffers accused him of sexual assault inside the building, according to NYT. One alleged incident was captured on security cameras and is now part of a criminal investigation.

@mcbride.house.gov @coons.senate.gov @bluntrochester.senate.gov @mattmeyerde.bsky.social Reports are that DHS opened fire on this vehicle in downtown Wilmington, DE www.facebook.com/share/r/1AzX...

Here's How Democrats Can Resist Trump Even as a Minority Instead of playing possum or the usual politics, former Republican strategist Kurt Bardella recommends Democrats give the spotlight to Epstein's survivors and victims of ICE after Trump's SOTU. thelefthook.substack.com/p/heres-how-...

And this is a QUICK way to check your voting status: www.vote.org/am-i-registe...

I think Congress hasn’t done anything to get rid of Trump yet because JD Vance would become president

Just when I think the Epstein files can’t get any worse…. Good God! These people are monsters! www.facebook.com/share/r/18J4...

Can someone check if Steely Dan is in the files so we can quit talking about Steely Dan?

For a man who melts down over the tiniest insult and sues anyone who bruises his ego, Trump has been shockingly relaxed about people openly calling him a pedophile.

Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations. But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips. No compromise.

There should be nationwide marches against all the gigantic concentration camps.

I've seen enough comments on social media since the limited release of the Epstein files to confirm the people have spoken. Public opinion without a shadow of a doubt believes Trump is a child rapists, and I agree. After reading those documents only a fool or Pam Bondi would disagree.

Just wait till Melania finds out about this. She's gonna be all: "Bad man, I vant another cocktails ring!"

The Republicans are reportedly complaining that, if the American people demanded the resignation and arrest of everyone involved in the cover up of the #EpsteinFiles, the #Trump Administration would have "like 3 people left." Well, where's the flaw?

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

I criticize dems Today is a great example as to why- Trump sends ANOTHER racist post NOT ONE DEM PRESS CONFERENCE Dems should be forming a BLUE WALL and saying NO MATTER WHAT maga bills go up- we WILL NOT VOTE FOR THEM until they impeach Trump That's how the minority takes power But... nah

I sometimes will get the Washington Post and the Washington Times confused but now it doesn’t matter

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign. He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.

I think all these men who benefited financially from proximity to Epstein POST CONVICTION OF PEDOPHILIA should have to pay reparations to his victims, whether they abused women and children or not. They all knew what was going on, and help legitimize him with their association.

This testimony is so powerful and gut-wrenching. God bless this woman for what she went through. ICE MUST GO‼️

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

He tells us what he’ll do. We laugh, then it happens. He promised invasion; he invaded. He promised troops at home; they’re here. He promised retribution; prosecutors and investigators are now targets. He seized ballots; he’s calling to seize elections. This isn’t bluster; it’s a plan. Stop laughing

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Trump gave a foreign power access to America's highly advanced and protected AI chips in exchange his personal enrichment of half a billion dollars. This makes Watergate look as if Nixon had driven three miles over the speed limit once.

“Democratic Senators… Morning Hour … read from Epstein Files … describe what Trump did as he raped & beat underage girls … they were forced to perform oral sex on him, how he hit them, parade them out for "auction"— naked". It's crazy not to utilize this free resource!” @cherijacobus.bsky.social 💯🎯

Thank you @democrats.senate.gov for voting unanimously for Senator Sanders’ Amendment to strip ICE of BBB funding. Can you please demand the Sanders Amendment as a condition to fund DHS now that you’ve successfully separated it from the larger spending package?

A federal judge is weighing Attorney General Pam Bondi’s blackmail letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as evidence that the administration is using the presence of armed federal agents as coercion to achieve policy goals. trib.al/tcKLaft

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012. Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.
