Yup Trump sees everybody for $10 billion it seems “ the Epstein files proved Donald Trump raped children” Ted Lieu The orange paedophiles response? BTW - Ted is a courteous hero

Over 400 women have been arrested since they overturned Roe v Wade— yet not a SINGLE man has been arrested for raping children with Epstein.😢

I knew Taibbi was a cvnt & apologist for sex pests, but after this much documentation and payments by Andrew (and his pedo-protecting mom), I don't get the purpose of continuing the charade.

This is the kind of exploitative business that DOL and DHS are authorized to - in fact required to - investigate and prosecute. However, funding for investigating rich connected men is just not there. This is who the #SaveOurChildren squad should've tried to protect.

AMEN TO THAT

The show claimed autonomous weapons were "discussions re the future." The US made 1000 strikes during the first days of our war. Was every strike *really* decided by a human? How many minutes did a human have to evaluate the data proposed by the AI system? Evidence or it didn't happen!

He won't get fired unless/until [1] he publicizes himself over Donny or [2] embezzles huge amounts* without cutting Donny into the deal. That's how Kristi f'd up. *That is, gives himself no-bid govt contracts.

TBF, disguising the true ownership of companies that help destroy our limited democracy requires some fancy acctg & lawyering

When people who cheat at a game invite you to play with them, it is not for your benefit that they do so.

I would add our sisters and daughters assaulted or killed by violent partners, ex- or current.

Just for clarity, by "in the #EpsteinFiles" we don't mean "name appears on a post-it or a business mtg" we mean "appears in documents evidencing child trafficking & grape by his name or his cronies."

We all know what's going to happen: taxpayers pay for long-term no-bid contracts so for-profit companies can do WTF they want with our data, privatizing profits & socializing losses. Most activity will be "national security" - ie, secret, including the budgets. 1/

And as always, the Trump-Epstein Files keep dribbling out, recently including specific charges by a woman found credible by FBI alleging that Trump raped her when she was 13. Yet we're not hearing much about this.

It’s pretty wild that we KNOW there is compromising blackmail on our current president and it’s just kind of ignored.

Armed for war, facing unarmed civilians, throwing them face down on the ground for no reason, spraying chemicals at point blank range - all of this in violation of law enforcement rules. ICE are not law enforcement. They're thugs whose purpose is to terrify the American people and make us submit.

The only way we will recover from this is for the Democratic Party to commit to reversing the #GOPtaxscams and fighting to recover the billions stolen by Trump cronies. No more "put the past behind us" - we can't afford it.

This is not "clashes with the police," this is "heavily armed thugs break into someone's home without a warrant, beat and spray chemicals directly in the eyes of unarmed citizens."

Funny, I don't remember Michelle Obama saying this. She's the source of most of Melania's speeches...

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

I think we can all agree on this, no matter what your political affiliation is ⬇️

A good reminder: the hatred that poisoned our country w slavery, genocide, Civil War, Jim Crow, lynching, Asian Exclusion, Japanese Relocation, segregation, redlining, rape, child abuse, gay bashing, etc. has many forms, all disgusting and destructive. It's not 100% GOP, but most of it is.

The open question: what is the mechanism Trump is using to get profits for himself and his cronies by helping his boss Putin?

Hmmm. 🤔

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed. Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

A Haitian asylum seeker detained by ICE died after being refused timely medical attention for a severe toothache. At least 40 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office — a two-decade high. The monstrous cruelty of Trump's police state knows no bounds.

The voting technology company Smartmatic accused federal prosecutors of weaponizing the Justice Department against it to promote President Donald Trump’s 2020 election lies and aid his allies facing massive defamation lawsuits. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Wait - WHAT? No, seriously, WTAF?? Italy beat the USA AT BASEBALL?? Are school shootings the only thing we're always #1 at?

Do we have magical tech that can hit targets with pinpoint accuracy - yes or no? If yes, we hit the school on purpose, maybe based on old data. If no, we have to stop with the automated killer robots.

This is not getting the attention it should. This means humans had time to look at video of the scene, see adults trying to save children, and made the choice to slaughter them. Or our killer robots are trained to massacre first responders, whether on fishing boats or in elementary schools.

Congratulations to Shawn Harris, a decorated U.S. Army combat veteran endorsed by VoteVets, on advancing to a runoff in #GA14!

I want Schatz to say if DOD's map data shows the wall separating the school from IRGC. That wouldn't have been enough to for humans monitoring the AI unless they had time to check the current appearance. I don't believe they have more than a few seconds to check. We're using killer robots.

Trump doesn't plan things. Project 2025 was planned in detail by a big team. The Epstein File Distraction Team has lots of funding and personnel - but who is managing them? That's who planned this war. Maybe the only goal is distraction, so it's good to make us talk about that...

They hate me because I fight. They attack me because I win. I will do everything I can to protect free and fair elections. I will never back down.

If only there was another war I could think of in recent memory involving the US in the Middle East, where regime change was promised, didn’t happen, victory was declared and then the whole thing was repeated catastrophically badly at a later date. 🤔

Why not both?

You can judge a family by the company it keeps.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile... Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts. And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets. War is a racket.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

THIS IS THE TEXAS I REMEMBER

Concretely: There's a massive overbuilding of AI data centers. There's no chance business will need this much. It's financed by debt, not investment. The bubble will burst unless there's a use for these data ctrs. Who can use them? Fully autonomous weapons & domestic mass surveillance.

One crucial obstacle is the maga court: citizens united is poisoning our system bsky.app/profile/rbre...

To fight back against the fascist takeover, just getting back to the status quo pre-maga is not enough. Our goal needs to be government of, by & for the people. www.bbc.com/news/blogs-e...

It doesn't matter how clear the proof is, he'll refuse to admit responsibility for anything. But his unwillingness even to admit that it is a war crime - or even that it is a tragedy - to slaughter 175 or so little girls? It's Kristi Noem v. Cricket style brag about just how callous he is.

HELL yea

Yep, that tracks...

Here’s an update on Joseph, a 6-year-old child from Hayward, who was cruelly deported with his family without his necessary hearing device.
