Taking a break from this website. Be well, and Punish the Villains. ✌️

A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

The other two Epstein-related emails just released by Oversight Dems: exchanges between Jeffrey Epstein and Michael Wolff regarding Trump from 2019 and 2015.

Lots of headwinds for Mamdani but one positive is both the absolute glut of extremely qualified mid-career professionals now looking for a government job with civil service protections and that Mamdani inherits a hollowed-out city government with tons of vacancies.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it. All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference. Tanks

Google AI is like an Eric Adams quote generator

And if you need to rake them off the pavement, leave them on a natural surface to decompose!

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

weirdly honest messaging from the breakaway mod/institutionalist leaders who blew up the party strategy they're explicitly giving up. "It wasn't working so we quit" that's the message

"but I am le tired" ass caucus

(I punch you in the balls) Ok look, I know that hurt. It hurts me too. But that’s not important right now,

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

I can't stress this enough as a super volunteer for the Democratic Party and Democratic candidates. This should prompt you to get MORE involved, not less. Show up and use the existing infrastructure to make it work for all of us. In my neck of the woods, we've seen a ton of local victories this way.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels. The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Called it a week and a half ago. Once the airline industry came out and told them to end the shutdown, they did. Dems caved because they were worried about negative impacts to holiday travel. In this capitalist hell, that's what matters most, not the pain of ordinary people.

Bari Weiss is putting Dave Portnoy on the CBS Sunday Morning Shows and not focusing on his history of sexual misconduct

I think this touches a deep, often-overlooked point. In my labour law days, I saw some employers spend MORE money fighting unionization than they would have paid accepting it. Loss of control was driving them at least as much as profits! Control is vital – with environmental policy as well.

This and the airline industry lobbyists are what did it. Not Americans starving and paying twice as much for healthcare. www.washingtonpost.com/transportati...

For the midnight crew on this #EdmundFitzgwtald50 anniversary, I have added more markups to the Newsweek article that gave Gordon Lightfoot his template for His "Wreck of" song lyrics.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

John Fetterman’s memoir comes out on Tuesday, so if the phone calls don’t work you can always tell him how you feel while he’s on book tour.

i don’t think the axios reporting is entirely off base if you have house members out here soft launching an abolish-the-senate position lmfao

Here’s the full federal indictment for the Cleveland Guardians pitchers. Prosecutors claim Clase fixed *hundreds* of prop bets between 2023 and 2025, then he began demanding a cut in ‘25. He also roped in Ortiz this year and, crucially, used his cell phone *during* games to text the bettors.

Me watching any Tony Scott film

I’m so fucking tired of calling senators dude

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Sup guys

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

After whining for a few minutes Kevin finally gets to his actual pitch, and of course it's the same thing every tedious right wing debate bro wants from every high profile left winger: He wants Mamdani to come on his podcast so he can generate revenue from it

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy
