We made it to the last day of the year, bruised, clearer-eyed, and still standing. We pull the curtain back on Trump’s retribution politics, fraud hypocrisy, MAGA’s internal fractures, and the #Epstein line in the sand. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump loves birds.

“MY FRIENDS WILL GET HURT!”

This is how you do it folks

#DOGE was Silicon Valley disruption applied to government, and it failed exactly how you’d expect. Tesla sales sag. #CFPB gets targeted. Hype meets reality. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

This is the very essence of Twitter under Musk. Did you know that the biggest Medicare fraudster in Minnesota—Philip Esformes—is a well known MAGA activist who was pardoned by Trump? He then moved to Florida, where he was arrested again for fraud activities. Medicare fraudsters should be prosecuted

Bill Barr's father wrote a book, Space Relations, involving a sex slave/master theme with violent sex and similarities to Epstein's crimes. www.vice.com/en/article/e...

MAGA lunatics spent decades falsely accusing others of running pedophile rings and the asshole they all voted for and worship is one of the main rapist culprits.

Under the Biden administration, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) got private firms to pledge to hit certain memory-safety goals. This was called Secure by Design. Then Trump cut CISA's budget and Musk's goons forced out much of CISA's staff, ending Secure by Design

It appears the whole Putin “Ukraine tried to kill me with 91 drones last night” was entirely made up. And of course Trump repeated it and said he was mad at Ukraine. Nightly Russia launched drones and missiles at innocent people. And tried to Kill Zelensky every day Spare me the gaslight

What Trump and Joe Rogan have in common is validating stupid people in their stupidity. Stupidity is actually good now and you don't have to change anything or work to not be stupid.

Trump guys on Twitter are using Grok to “hunt” daycares in their nearest city to see if there are kids in them and, if there are, if they’re Somali.

The last four words are also important here. The USAID cuts should primarily be seen as a eugenicist project. Elon Musk and the far right, generally, believe that foreign aid is a part of the Great Replacement.

👀

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator? This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

💯

Wait, he wants to PREVENT permanent damage to the political system now?

Dammit, who leaked this?!

Whatever this creeping crud is that has infected this pile of flesh is, it is taking far too long to get to the parts that count.

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

Still up. Glad I posted here and not YouTube. This is what Bari Weiss and CBS tried to hide from us.

If Trump was 100% guilty before any of the Epstein files were released, now he’s closer to 600%, 700%, even 800% guilty. MAGA math works both ways.

What these people are doing to the power of calling out real antisemitism, in an incredibly dangerous time of surging global antisemitism….man, it is just so worrisome

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Trump telling you he’s bombing Nigeria because he cares about Christians, is like Elon Musk telling you he’s buying Twitter because he cares about the first amendment.

Side note: Sinatra’s mom Natalina “Dolly” Garaventa, a midwife by trade, ran an underground free abortion clinic, chained herself to a fence to fight for women’s suffrage and was an extremely influential organizer for the Democratic Party www.irishtimes.com/opinion/eamo...

The 60 Minutes segment that Trump and his collaborators tried to censor has been viewed way more than this.

Top tier joke

Weird, narcissistic, cult of sick fcks

As someone aptly pointed-out on another platform: the Epstein files aren't filled with trans people. They're filled with wealthy, straight, white, cisgender men.

We don’t spend enough time discussing how the entire MAGA movement is kept afloat by the constant threats of stochastic terrorism orchestrated by the president of the United States. Congress, the courts, much of the media … all kept in line by the mob boss and his army of anonymous goons.

Trump in 2024: I "was never on Epstein’s Plane". Trump DOJ 5 years ago: "Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)". Stop breaking the the law. Release ALL the Files.

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

1. 🚨 A RAND Corporation study found that roughly $80 trillion was siphoned from the middle class & working poor to the top 0.01% over recent decades, a direct consequence of Reagan-era rollbacks of Roosevelt’s New Deal. Not coincidentally, that same period marked the explosion of the national debt.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%. The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024. Nothing trickled down.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

This is the MAGA idea of strength.

Justice ⚖️ for Virginia Giuffre & Katy Johnson! America 🇺🇸 President 45 & 47 is a PEDO!🤍❤️💙 youtu.be/Qk38JAwEUOg youtube.com/shorts/7o6si... youtube.com/shorts/F9VES... youtube.com/shorts/ojatT... youtube.com/shorts/k2cjl... 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙

I'm going to post this everyday until the orange POS lying corrupt racist bigoted grifting pedophile mother🤬 tRump is out of OUR house 🔥

As more and more of these disgusting Epstein photos emerge, remember — Donald Trump recently moved convicted child rapist Ghislaine Maxwell from a real prison, to a cushy club fed. Where she has Internet access, visitors who can come and go, and a therapy dog.

👇👇👇👇👇👇

NOT BREAKING NEWS: Kash’s and Bondi’s dogs ate the Epstein Files. Noem shot the dogs. RFK Jr ate the dead dog’s intestines. No more files, sorry.

Incompetent, politicized justice comes at a cost.

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

This dude Lutnick is such a sychophant that he's literally trying to rewrite the rules of math to kiss up to Trump.
