I regret to inform you that this is a real exchange in the Epstein emails that Congress released. Did Trump give Bill Clinton a blowjob? Or was it meant as a joke? 🤔

Thanksgiving is the time to share your blessings with your family and your closest, most enigmatic friends.

Today's shocking release of emails has me asking whether the shutdown was always just about Republicans protecting Trump from the Epstein Files? And, if so, what does that tell us about the last ten months and the next 3+ years. Subscribe now to Democracy Docket to get my latest. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

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.

It does give an appearance of favoritism when the warden boots another inmate for criticizing Maxwell, has her meals prepared , gets her a dog, and helps with her request for pardon. What is in it for Hall?

Congrats, MAGA. You wanted less war, right? Here you go...oh wait. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Well just terrific. Treasonous senators involved with 1/6 now get a $500,000 payday and the dem Senators OPEN the govt. In Funding Bill, GOP Senators Give Themselves Chance For Payday Over Jan. 6 Searches www.huffpost.com/entry/govern...

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it. And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE? Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

On this date in 1898 was the Wilmington insurrection, also known as the Wilmington massacre or the Wilmington coup. It is when a group of white supremacists overthrew the eleced municipal government in NC and killed numerous black citizens.

Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.

With Trump’s massive tax cuts for the wealthy currently exploding the deficit, and now this, Trump and his oligarch cronies want to make us debt slaves from birth to death while truly owning nothing, while they buy bigger yachts and more mansions.

The WSJ on how unbelievably stupid Noem and Lewandowski are. I don’t care that I’m late to this; it’s to good to pass up. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Most people have pointed out that Trump was golfing in Palm Beach at the exact moment Mullin posted this, but I will also note that the “work” Trump is doing here is autographing Truth Social posts that have been blown up and printed out.

It seems like so many people on the right should be aligned with so many people on the left over the doomsday existential threat of AI and robotics in the hands of a handful of greedy oligarchs. But they have succeeded in pitting us against each other with culture war drivel.

“One day, he was like your kid, or mine, just growing up in America—school, friends, sports, the future we once promised, the future his parents dreamed of. Now it’s grinding anxiety and the looming loss that will probably catch up with his family.” open.substack.com/pub/terrymor...

#Trauma. #Republicans are inflicting Trauma on #America and the world. Whether this man is a #Citizen or not, this is #HORRIFIC. Even #Police #ICE #BorderPatrol - whatever they are - will be traumatized for the rest of their lives. No one wins here.

True

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Raging narcissist claims that an election that rejected everything he stands for wasn't about him. Good try, Donald. Loser. 😎

Stop letting the oligarchs and the right make this seem normal. Call it what is - Mudsill Theory.”

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger

“Sixteen of the 24 donors have received federal contracts with the cumulative sum totaling $279 billion over the past five years, according to the study by Public Citizen. The majority of those awards have gone to defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Who knows less -- Speaker Mike Johnson or Sergeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes? Roll the clips...

“This is real.” Taxpayer money going to an official govt site filled with lies about Democrats. Our govt is run by a bunch of angry children.

The people at @nytimes.com helped me make this video about sexism www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

ICE will transfer custody “into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.” Leave it to Gov Abbot to allow this.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

The detained person is already in handcuffs. The officer grates his face against the asphalt and then uses pain compliance to subdue him some more. This is just abuse.

(Bloomberg) - The man who made his name shorting the US housing market sent what appears to be a cryptic warning to retail investors about market exuberance .. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Gov Abbott all in allowing electricity/water guzzling data centers move in without transparency to Texans because he knows he is putting profit before TX citizens. In a state where residents continue to live under worsening droughts and electrical grid not meeting demands, the secrecy is necessary.

Please do *not* circulate this story that the NC GOP does not want circulated. Please, they have threatened you nicely, please.

Smoke and mirrors. He asked Chi to do this favor for who knows what in return. The farmers will hopefully see through this sleight of hand. Wimpy Trump-"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"

Perceived entitlement by hypocrites.

As hard as they are to watch, we must not look away. Otherwise we become sheep under Trump

The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.

Russ Vought’s ex-wife is a grifter too.

Police from a town of 900 in Colorado accused a woman of theft. Based on their Flock cameras they told her, "you can’t get a breath of fresh air, in or out of that place, without us knowing, correct?" and reportedly told her the exact number of times her license plate had driven through that town.

We should continue to spit back.

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million. In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million. A massive percentage came from foreigners. It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics. But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

#Texas AG Paxton grandstanding again without the evidence. Running for office, so he has to do something to remain in the news.

“Everyday is a wonderful secret.”

Congress is rapidly proving itself irrelevant, and the only person who benefits from that is Donald Trump.
