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?

Remember when Ruben Gallego preened around over his support for the Laken Riley Act, and pundits treated him as having the magic key to Dems' working class woes? Well, Spanberger voted against it and erased GOP gains with working class, including among Latinos: newrepublic.com/article/2030...

The next priority is to make sure there is no January 6th in November 2026. www.thebulwark.com/p/its-time-t...

Analysis | The Epstein revelations have roiled Trump’s base. Here’s how many kids worldwide his administration will have to starve to win the base back.

Since 2017, people have had a pretty good idea who was compromised with respect to Jeffrey Epstein. The issue hasn't been so much a lack of knowledge about individuals, but institutions like the New York Times covering up their own complicity and, frankly, the leaders of both political parties.

Do people remember that this same NYT reporter solicited a $30,000 donation from Jeffrey Epstein for a Montessori school and then got pushed out of the Times by Ellen Pollock shortly after? And he refused to share Epstein's contact info with another NYT reporter assigned to do the piece about him.

Jeffrey Epstein, a notorious pedophile & sex trafficker who used blackmail & god knows in foreign dealings with despots, says “I have met some bad people but none as bad as Trump” & yeah, this tracks. The fact that his accomplices think they won’t also end up in jail or dead blows my mind.

Jeffrey Epstein ran a massive international blackmail ring—that’s why the cover up continues. My article from September is even more relevant today after the new Epstein files were released. deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/jeffrey-ep...

Ken Starr signed an email to Jeffery Epstein with "hugs"

So the next time you read a hit piece on a Democrat who called them out or see some self-righteous bullshit about how they seek the truth without fear or favor, pull out this email and ask: What did the NY Times know and when did they know it? You will get nothing but crickets from them in response.

Exactly. These emails are from the Epstein estate, not the DOJ. This is also what the email senders and recipients felt comfortable enough discussing to put in writing.

incredible to see NYT reporter Landon Thomas over a decade into his time there advising Jeffrey Epstein on how to "fight back" on reporting about his crimes. Tells him to go on TV and "Present evidence that she is lying AND show the world that you are no longer that guy."

🚨 An example from newly-released files showing how consultants sought to influence Google search results — burying articles about Jeffrey Epstein being a "billionaire pedophile" or having a "diary of his under-aged victims" & then boosting articles about his philanthropy

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) just signed the discharge petition to force a vote on making the DOJ release all of its Jeffrey Epstein files. She was the 218th signature, which means the petition is now frozen and no member can remove their name.

Trump warned Republicans in Congress to stay away from House Democrats’ push to force the full release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files after today’s release of three emails from the convicted sex offender that mentioned the president’s name.

Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. www.politico.com/news/2025/11... -

Michael Wolff suggests in an email (in 2015) that if Trump were to say in public that he had never been to Epstein’s house or on his plane, Epstein would have leverage over him. Which…means that Trump was at his house and on his plane and that Epstein had the receipts to prove it. So.

In case you'd been wondering why Trump rolls over for Putin at every turn:

just a reminder:Vance's most prominent benefactor over the years is Peter Thiel...Thiel hired Vance at his global investment firm in 2017, nurtured Vance's political rise, donating $15M to his 2022 Ohio Senate campaign&helping him win the GOP primary winning the seat www.cbsnews.com/news/jd-vanc...

😳 Wow. No wonder Vance wants to shield this. That’s his sugar daddy.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

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?"

"Sir, we have several options on the table for 'Operation Shiny Thing': we could invade Venezuela, or send troops to Gaza, or send NG troops to NYC, .....or just pass a law making pedophilia legal."

Do I have this right? Dems in the House released a few damning emails. Then republicans released 23,000 pages as a squirrel? One fun exchange between Bannon and Epstein from May 2019 mentions the Mueller report. 1/

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

all of this is so grim that it is self-censoring. it sounds like a fever dream someone had while running five degrees hot

Confirming this. Epstein mentions a "future ex Mrs Bannon" and the correspendent says he will be in in Rome on 21 March 2019 to deliver a "big speech". These are Bannon's texts with Epstein in 2019.

There were literally congressional hearings where whistleblowers in the insurance industry cried while discussing being forced by superiors to repeatedly illegally deny payment for lifesaving care in the run up to the passage of the ACA. That’s what republicans want us to return to.

Boy do I wish I could have a chat with all the naysayers when I posited that Epstein was a dirt factory for Putin. How many times have we asked "what does Putin have on Trump?" www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

"That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files" -- Rep. Grijalva

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva signs the Epstein discharge petition, serving as the 218th vote to force the bill to the floor for a full vote of the House.

Blistering speech from the newly sworn in Congress lady. A well-deserved take down directed at Mike Johnson.

Grijalva: “While we celebrate this moment today, our American promise is under serious threat…What is most concerning is not what this administration has done, but what the majority in this body has failed to do: hold Trump accountable as a coequal branch of government that we are.”

Three victims of sexual trafficking by Epstein and Maxwell have died from suicide or drug overdoses: Virginia Giuffre (2025) Carolyn Andriano (2023) Leigh Skye Patrick (2017) Those are just the ones we know of and who came forward. One cannot help but wonder how many more did not survive.

BREAKING: Grijalva has signed the Epstein Files discharge petition. It doesn't appear that Mace or Boebert have removed their names.

REPORTER: Why'd it take so long to get sworn in? GRIJALVA: *gestures at Johnson* That would not be my question! MIKE JOHNSON: Look, I really like this lady

hold on you suspended someone for making a johnny cash song reference about a really stupid article about johnny cash? lol, was the moderator that made this call completely unaware of .. culture

You cannot be serious! substack.com/profile/3455...

fuck this. if the intention is to be a social network with worse administration than twitter, you guys are doing a wonderful job.

You owe her, and all of us, a public apology. This was wrong to begin with, and your way of handling it is incredibly disappointing.

Just sent out this piece. Over the last 30 years we have witnessed a repeat of one the great illusions of the pre-1914 world, that growing trade and interdependence makes war less likely, even "futile". It was a comforting fiction then and a very dangerous one now. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

@neguse.house.gov: "I think it is outrageous for these Republican senators to effectively guarantee themselves million-dollar paydays, a provision in this bill that very clearly applies to them. ... This is insanity to allow this provision to go forward"

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

As I sometimes like to mention, s the only reason you know who Jeffrey Epstein is (that is, if you weren't one of his friends/clients/beneficiaries) is because Ms Brown, below, broke the story of his sweetheart deal to get out of the 2008 trafficking charges.

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

"Essentially what you have here is the two main conspirators in this Jeffrey Epstein case basically saying to one another, sure is weird that Donald Trump hasn't been pulled into this whole thing yet." @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social talk the new Epstein smoking-gun emails:

Okay why the fuck has Sarah Kendzior been suspended??!!!!

Have to say banning someone like Sarah is already political, and it undermines trust in your moderation when you don’t provide an explanation.
