Until we have replicators, we will need wealth redistribution.

Releasing the Epstein files could have a chilling effect on future presidents' ability to hide their history of raping children on a private island owned by a convicted sex offender.

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill? Here you go.

Really? You're gonna make me do this one? Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People. There you go.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

1️⃣ George Retes, a 25-year-old Army veteran, told ICE agents he was a U.S. citizen. They didn’t care. They tear-gassed him, beat him, and locked him in jail for three days without a phone call. He missed his daughter’s third birthday. No charges, no apology. Just cruelty, sanctioned by the state.

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

This is kind of astonishing. Fantastic reporting by Reuters.

There he goes again, always threatening us with a good time.

Tonight should be a good reminder to Senate Democrats they better not cave.

Oh yeah you should spread that one around more...🤣 Great in combination with the Trump cholesterol memes!🍔 The original #IKnowNothing Schulz Johnson was from Paul Leigh btw...🙏 bsky.app/profile/plei...

Good question, Junior!

Let's just lay it out. Epstein was a glorified pimp who used and sold the services of children to the wealthy, the elite, and the powerful. His clients will destroy anything and everything to stay hidden. They will even starve poor people. They have no bottom and no conscience.

DO IT! I dare you @ericswalwell.bsky.social and DEMS!

Always about himself. Give him the Nobel Putz Prize.

NEW: The Trump administration quietly lifted sanctions on Wednesday against the Putin-backed Serbian leader Milorad Dodik after an intensive campaign on his behalf by Trump allies including Rudy Giuliani, Mike Flynn, Laura Loomer & high-priced lobbyists.

Jeffries: "Do what leaders do as opposed to being missing in actio for 28 days while finding $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina & destroying the historic parts of the WH so he can construct a ballroom where he'll be celebrated like a wannabe king. It's all outrageous stuff."

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.” @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Great great piece. For me, (and it’s about damn time, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ) the key paragraph in this piece is:

REPUBLICAN Senator Lankford on Trump bombing boats and killing people with no due process or real evidence they’re drug-related: “The administration needs to give Congress insight on this. If this was happening under Biden with this level of insight I’d be apoplectic.”

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

It's easy to be so distracted by all the things the President is doing, to miss one thing he's not doing: Rallies. After he first won election in 2016, he kept having rallies b/c he liked them so much. He did them all through his first term, even during COVID. (RIP Herman Cain.) Why not?

"At this moment in time, of course, the release of the TRUMPSTEIN Files is really the public's main priority."

GOP in power let DJT & miller run wild-eyes wide open, souls shut tight. they know what they’re doing & who it’s hurting. DJT isn’t “him.” he’s the sickness they keep feeding. if we’re going down, let it be fighting for the broken - not bowing to the ones who broke us. #WeThePeople #NoMoreCowards

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

This is the energy you need to bring ICE and all fascists, this is what everyone should be doing. In a world full of compliers be the polka dot lady. #3E

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

🤔

The government is in its second-longest ever shutdown, food stamp benefits won’t be going out next month, many govt workers aren’t getting paid, and Trump is suing his own DOJ for $230 million while building a $250 million ballroom at the White House. Are we winning yet?

Guess we found the money. Just not for the people who need it. 💸🏛️🍲 #Priorities #WhiteHouse #FoodInsecurity #EconomicJustice #EditorialArt #Satire #America2025”

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."
