Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

Here’s what is interesting about this answer: It is not a “no.” bsky.app/profile/just...

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

Judge McConnell clocks Trump's playing politics with hungry kids: "This Court is not naïve to the administration’s true motivations. Far from being concerned with Child Nutrition funding, these statements make clear that the administration is withholding full SNAP benefits for political purposes."

SCOOP: PA prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parent's address in Pennsylvania for years. Me with @marisakabas.bsky.social slate.com/news-and-pol...

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute. This is the *moderate* position, by the way.

The only thing I care about in a president for 2028 is holding every one of these people accountable under the law in the harshest manner possible. Anything short of that is a waste of time.

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

actual communism

Cuomo and his billionaires spent $65 per vote. Mamdani and his backers spent $15.81 per vote. Who’s the fiscally responsible one here? www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/06/c...

Our “radical” is their Tuesday. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Speaker Mike Johnson vs Sergeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes -- who knows less about what's going on?

Does Kamala Harris get $16 million now?

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218. Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

The "theory" is "I've got big guns and the Supreme Court said I'm immune from any criminal prosecution, and Congress lets me get away with everything, so I'm gonna murder brown people with big explosions and tell the public I'm saving them from drugs." Saved you a click.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone? Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate. They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

Here is the video or Ronald Reagan saying church and state must remain separate.

Just for the record, in 2020: - Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey - Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes - Garland was an appeals court judge - Monaco was in private practice in LA There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise. He crazy.

House Republicans opposed an amendment to prohibit deporting U.S. citizens. Read that again. As many times as you need. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

Behold: Republican permitting reform.

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

So we are supposed to believe that Trump had proof that the survivors of his latest attack were narco terrorists, but then he let them go home?

He murdered a Colombian citizen in violation of domestic and international law. He’s now promising to illegally impose tariffs on Colombia because its president had the temerity to publicly criticize him for murdering one of that country’s citizens. Yes, we are the baddies.

Wut

every day proves that we never should have stopped calling them weird

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.

This is ridiculous.

The wildest thing about every Trump pardon and commutation? “Mr. Santos will also no longer be required to pay more than $370,000 in court-ordered restitution to his victims…”

George Santos is the 10th GOP Congressman to get a pardon or clemency from President Trump. The other nine were also all convicted of various criminal charges:

The Santos commutation is a prelude to a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon. Mark my words.

The guy most responsible for charging Tish James for being generous to her Great Niece is in the very same week bragging abt his role in freeing a guy who REALLY DID engage in financial fraud. And I'm thinking, Abbe Lowell is no slouch and I bet he can explain why this proves selective prosecution.
