SCOOP: In text messages sent in 2017, Jeffrey Epstein appears to position himself as a middleman between president Donald Trump’s administration and Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates. He seemingly represents himself as passing on information directly from Trump to Gates through an intermediary.

John Fetterman was taken to the hospital after suffering from a “ventricular fibrillation flare-up” and falling near his home

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

only surprising thing about the racist young republican groupchat is that jd vance wasn't in there dropping crylaugh emoji reacts

the GOP has no goodwill left and now even normie libs are not moved by their constant demands for civility. and it's because everyone knows that while they're yelling at you for not venerating charlie kirk, this is what they're saying in their lil group chats www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Alligator Alcatraz has created a blueprint for obfuscation, misdirection and rights violations. The Trump administration wants to more than double the number of people in immigration detention. Here’s what that looks like:

"Democracy dies if prominent black writers don't frame their arguments around appeasing white voters in Wisconsin," or "Democracy dies unless liberal writers praise radical, hateful conservative activists" is the subtext. And it's worth thinking through who makes these kinds of arguments and why.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

ok how many people are going to tune in for Kimmel only to see a memorial for a podcaster they’ve never heard of

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Sorry, folks. The only comedy that's fully legal now is specials called TRIGGERED: THE UNWOKE, UNCENSORED TOUR with a thumbnail of a guy with a piece of duct tape over his mouth. Everything else will be placed under review for content by the FCC.

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

sure, give Trump what he wants! It will not backfire!

I have to get to work soon, but I just want to get this part clear. The idea was that in exchange for one (1) Black President, everyone was supposed to be silent about racism forevermore. That’s the reasonable assumption we’re being told to accept as justification for ending civil rights?

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

any outlet that reported the “pro-trans ideology on bullet casings” thing owes the public an apology and an explanation if you are serious about turning down the temperature, start by showing some shame and regret for your role in turning it up in the first place by allowing yourself to be played
