Reporter in Epstein emails says 'we're getting close to the smoking gun'

In a world full of Wayne Gretzkys, be a Mario Lemieux mariolemieux.org

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon. 77 million people voted for this.

In the global electrification race China is marching ahead. The US and Europe risk falling behind clinging on to yesterday's technologies.

I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers on strike. When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent. She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

Sometimes you get one of those insane ideas you know you’ll regret, but it’s just too intriguing. So… I’m building a compiler for a subset of Kotlin - something I can embed into Kotlin/JVM projects like Lua, but with static typing and better performance. #kotlin

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

A positive sign: Jarvis was spotted up here on the press level.

The ICE dudes who threw the priest to the ground and violently arrested him before dragging off to jail will at some point be identified, and I don't think they are ready for the rage from this country when it turns back towards them, and they are no longer masked.

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Today's great news is here!

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

If it happened, Ghislaine is the person who took the photo. Just like the case with commoner Andrew hyphen whatever, it seemed to be her job to get the evidence.

Burns: The Old Testament says there’s nothing new under the sun. On July 4th, 1776, there was. Everybody up to that point had been under authoritarian rule. It was in the interests of their rulers that they be uneducated, that they be superstitious, that they be distracted by conspiracies…

I'll be the first to admit knowing very little about medical sciences, but god damn from the outside looking in, mRNA tech seems like actual magic

Pam Bondi is no better woman than Ghislaine Maxwell.

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Tesla Takedown is calling for a mass mobilization on Nov. 15 to say “HELL NO” to Elon’s trillion dollar bonus. Find an event or host one in your community. Let's show the billionaires that we won't sit idly by while they steal our future.

Call your reps!

Veterans are set to participate in a day of protests called "Vets Say No" to challenge President Donald Trump's administration on Tuesday.

When we fight, we win.

The interview quickly became a train wreck, and now MAGA has gone ballistic. @nycjayjay.bsky.social

Trump still denies he knew anything, but the avalanche of documents suggesting otherwise may prove to be his (and Bondi’s) undoing. @jenrubin.bsky.social #EpsteinFiles

Is Trump’s end finally coming? We could, finally, be close. Trump has survived other moments like this, where he turned his glaring racism and misogyny into bonus points with his base. But he may not outlast the Epstein Files controversy. @joycewhitevance.bsky.social #EpsteinFiles

Good thing he has good health insurance.

It turns out that, crazy as the QAnon conspiracy sounded, there really was an elite cabal of pedophiles at the highest levels of power. #EpsteinFiles @nycjayjay.bsky.social

Keep pushing back. #StandTogether

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

He was also involved in a murder-for-hire. Pardons with corrupt intent technically impeachable.

BASH: Are you gonna look into the way ICE is conducting itself? JIM JORDAN: We're going to look into the whole situation where you have these mayors-- BASH: So you'll only look into that side and not federal law enforcement? JORDAN: Wuh wuh wuh we'll look into all this

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode. We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

Is this bad? I mean, offhand, I'd say it kind of seems bad. {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

So the Convicted FElon thinks the MAJORITY OF AMERICANS are FOOLS‼️When it comes to Tariffs, to Economy, to Healthcare. He thinks WE are the stupid idiots. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
