Anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention could see that was happening.

I don't believe Donald Trump was involved in Epstein's sex trafficking ring... I believe Epstein was involved in Donald Trumps sex trafficking ring. Trump plays second fiddle to no one. Epstein didn't buy the Miss Teen USA pageant, Trump did. Do you actually think it was for the investment?

This message hits hard.

He is hatefully posting and illegally killing people through the Epstein accusations

Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…

THIS is what I'll be watching tonight instead of the Orange Atrocity on C: BS.

‘Splains a lot…

So, the DOJ expects us to believe that they redacted Trump's name in the Epstein files ad nauseum, but everything they redacted was lies. Yeah. Right. 🤣🤣🤣 They are so stupid. Trump Named in New Epstein Files Published by Justice Department www.yahoo.com/news/article...

His base is waking up.

`Mass gun ownership always leads to mass shootings. My column in today's Sunday National.

Farmer: As soon as Maurene Comey was fired, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach about what they were up to, because I believed it was not in the best interest of survivors. The sequence of events—Maurene being fired and then Blanche meeting with Maxwell…

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Congress’s three favorite lines: 1. Sorry we can’t do anything, we’re in the minority 2. Sorry we can’t do anything, we need a supermajority 3. Sorry we can’t do anything, our party’s in the White House and we have to support the president

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

We knew this shitshow was coming. But still…

Nobody cares. 🤷‍♂️ Mon (Dec-15) NHTSA reports Tesla's 8th robotaxi crash. Tue (Dec-16) CA judge rules that FSD is a fraud. Now (Dec-19) Texas DMV is using the CA DMV's playbook to deal with Musk's illegal plan to go "driverless" by year-end. bradmunchen.substack.com/p/tesla-will...

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

Did Trump’s DOJ really think dropping hundreds of blacked-out pages counted as complying with the law? I know it’s a bunch of unqualified folks with no backbone over there, but this is next-level.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

No notes…

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally. Just like it’s still the department of defense

I was not expecting a guilty verdict. I hope Judge Dugan is successful on appeal. I’m concerned about this emboldening this lawless administration.

I respectfully disagree with the jury’s verdict in the Judge Hannah Dugan case. The trial evidence showed that Judge Dugan did not obstruct ICE agents from arresting an undocumented immigrant. Let’s see what happens on appeal. Meanwhile, our support for Judge Dugan continues.

Happy EPSTEIN Files Release Day Eve for all those who celebrate!!! 👍

Judge Duggan convicted in Wisconsin of obstructing feds efforts to arrest a defendant in her courtroom. I will be doing a Substack live with.@AdamKlasfeld, who attended the entire trial, to get the full report tomorrow morning. Will keep you posted on time.

They control all three branches of government, yet all Trump could do in his annual accomplishments speech was yell at Americans.

Judge Adelman announces a fateful jury decision in U.S. v. Dugan: They will be ordering a pizza. Buckle in. buff.ly/22R3mFy

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose

Ailing wannabe dictator yelling at his people and insisting that they're getting richer and safer when all the evidence demonstrates the opposite. This is Gaddafi-levels of lunacy.

I miss the days when FBI Directors caught mass shooters and didn’t fly to wresting events on a government jet to watch their girlfriend sing.

Western right-wing movements are gaining traction in Africa to undermine sexual and reproductive health rights and LGBTQIA+ rights. Africa does not need "an irresponsible espousing of harmful, patriarchal values."

Statement on Kennedy Center Board Action: In 1964, Congress established the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as a living memorial to President Kennedy. Only Congress can change its name.

via @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social “Trump is now attempting to affix his name to yet another public institution without legal authority. Federal law established the Center as a memorial to President Kennedy and prohibits changing its name without Congressional action.”

“"The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law, It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says.” Wrote Joe Kennedy, 45, grandson of late Robert F. Kennedy. apple.news/Ac06jh4_dSP-...

Congress is on vacation

Let me help you out. Yes, you are.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

Paul Ingrassia, who once texted, “I do have a Nazi streak in me from time to time, I will admit it,” was at the White House tonight

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...
