Republicans are scrambling to cover up the Epstein file, but we say anyone involved in Epstein's billion-dollar child sex trafficking ring must be brought to justice—whether Republicans, Democrats or, yes, even presidents.

Some bizarre stuff going down in the Oval these days. After spraying the Syrian president with his Trump Fragrance he then asks him how many wives he has.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

There is something wrong with the president

While throwing Great Gatsby parties for the billionaires and building a Marie Antoinette Ballroom the size of nearly two football fields, Trump steers his bulldozer at American families on SNAP benefits trying to eat in his Hunger Games economy.

🚨U.S. inflation rises to 3% in September as prices increase at the fastest rate since January. The White House says they will likely not release October’s inflation data next month, blaming the shutdown.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

At this rate, most of them are going to end up back in prison anyway. Wild.

Hitlergate wasn't "kids"—it was 20- and 30-something GOP flacks.

In a coordinated move, multiple federal agencies joined BlueSky yesterday and turned to trolling the opposition. Our Assessment on Democratic Decline warns of this autocratic practice: attacking the free press and narrowing the space in which factual reporting can safely operate without retaliation.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

Rayfield: When Trump learned that this was a judge who was appointed by him, he said he wasn’t served well. To have any president or any politician in America say a judge is not serving them—words can’t even describe how backwards that is. Phang: He’s not the king. He’s the court jester.

They want to shut you up. To crush dissent. To end free speech. This is un-American.

When they come for the comedians we should all be worried. joycevance.substack.com/p/dont-be-af...

Director Patel, you've been blinded by your loyalty to Donald Trump, and as a result, you've betrayed Epstein's victims, turned your back on career FBI agents and left the American people less safe.

Oh, Susan, seriously? 😆

Well isn’t this lovely. Opera star sings Habanera (from Carmen) in the airport (?) What a terrific voice. #opera I don’t care if they’re staged, we need more profl free public #music and #art.

VICTORY: In a major victory for voting rights, the Arizona Court of Appeals has rejected a lawsuit brought by right-wing groups and the Arizona Republican Party that sought to limit how election officials verify mail-in ballot signatures. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Why isn't this getting more attention It really is alarming CBS has installed a bias monitor To make sure no one hurts PedoFelonRapist's feelings

Extortion of Nobel Prize is Hall of Fame level abuse of office. Every single Democrat should be mocking this clown for being so fragile, so insecure, so weak, and so openly corrupt.

BRUTAL: Producer Price Index (PPI) surges to 3.3% YoY in July, far exceeding expectations. Core PPI up 3.7%. Trump’s tariffs on imports are driving up wholesale costs, signaling even higher prices for consumers.

An owl with some attitude.

Defense Attorney Abbe Lowell says Trump's weaponization of the DOJ to target his opponents (including Lowell's client, NY AG Letitia James) “makes George Orwell’s ‘1984’ look like a Mother Goose nursery rhyme," and is creating a regime that targets Dems while Republicans "get a free pass." #Velshi

I missed the part where blowing hundreds of millions in taxpayer money on gaudy, unnecessary White House upgrades counts as “cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.” Or did we just drop that whole narrative?

Did you know that 89% of people polled want the Epstein files released? That’s about as close to universal support as you will ever get on any issue. What is Trump hiding?

So let me get this straight. In two days we went from “the Epstein list doesn’t exist” to “the Epstein list that certainly exists was created by Obama n such” Ya ok

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you

We should be preparing for climate change, not reacting to disasters.

Dersh weighs in on the Epstein controversy: “I know for a fact docs are being suppressed to protect individuals. I know their names & why they’re being suppressed, but I’m bound by confidentiality so I can’t disclose it. Files are being suppressed to protect them & that’s wrong.”

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

I'm anxiously waiting for the @jaketapper.bsky.social new book on Dementia Don

History teacher explains psychology behind Trump cult in a thought provoking video. open.substack.com/pub/denzien/...

I really struck a nerve here. I stand by what I said.

Show me a man who can have his economic concerns assuaged by Trump, and I'll show you a man who can have his beverage concerns assuaged by Jim Jones.

It’s a cult.

The best of us. I am sickened by the contradiction and loss we have suffered.

She may have touched a copy of the Constitution? 🤷‍♀️

New in PN: What happened to "states' rights"? "Republicans are realizing the dystopian fantasy they daydreamed about not long ago. They act as if government exists only to advance their own interests, and they dismiss any law or court ruling that hinders their far-right agenda."

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.
