The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files. This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Formal invitation to the hockey team sent,,, if any people with connections to the hockey team wanna have them email my team my bio. I’m for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

The virus killed my uncle in just four days during the initial wave. He died alone in the ICU on a ventilator because nobody was allowed in the room. These trolls want to make a “comedy” out of it.

A thing to keep in mind in the Netflix vs. Paramount bidding war for Warner Bros. Netflix does not propose to absorb CNN, TNT, TBS. It would spin them off in a new company like Comcast did with MSNBC. Whereas the Ellisons want to show Trump they can bring CNN to heel, as they have with CBS. Clear?

When you don’t understand terms like “hemorrhaging,” “commons,” “fair,” or “Nazi,” but insist on using them,” this is the best you’re going to do. This post is your peak performance as a thinker. Turns out if you’re very dim in front of people, people notice how dim you are.

I know this is a joke, but I’d just like to note that I never medicated my clinically diagnosed anxiety by building a chatbot to generate underage nudes.

in eric larson’s “in the garden of beasts” he discusses how when hitler was chancellor, people were reporting their neighbors to the gestapo so frequently for the most minor of inconveniences that *hitler* had to tell people to knock it off.

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

I take mine in the morning

One thing I will miss about being on substack is using substack to talk shit about substack. open.substack.com/pub/davekarp...

They incarcerated a white, retired British grandmother with a valid visa. For 2 months. I'm glad this article gets into what most don't: Even if you manage to get released, that's 2 months of not paying your bills. Her credit was wrecked. She's retired - younger folks would have lost their jobs.

It’s giving middle passage

I am watching curling so this came out garbled but you know what I mean: The idea that anti-vaxxers would not be moved by someone else's child dying, and that death being THEIR FAULT, might be an accurate belief but it's really grim.

I believe it's important to situate any writing about the vaccine hesitant in reality: MOST PEOPLE VACCINATE THEIR KIDS. This is the norm, and best practices around vaccine messaging emphasize how safe/common vaccines are. The anti-vaxxers are a dangerous minority and need to be portrayed that way!

many writers are good enough for me to pay them; no one is a good enough writer to get me to download the substack app

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

Trolls don’t post hoping you’ll see it. They post knowing others will.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

American freedom was purchased by the blood of men far braver and stronger than Elon Musk who crossed oceans for the opportunity to die for a 'multicultural economic zone.' We are tasked with preserving the freedoms they so dearly purchased and expanding them, if we can, as we can.

This UConn mbb squad is just plain annoying

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

This entire 'debate' is so maddening. We have been promised that a groundswell of rushed, dissatisfied detransitioners was about to emerge for nearly a decade. Not only have they never materialized, but academic research continues to show small numbers, long assessments and miniscule regret rates.

"The Dow is over 50,000!"

Discovered a lot of new people to block. As I said, anyone who defends this name-calling is having way too much fun using the term "bitch" as a slur, they know how offensive it is, and are looking for excuses to use it. At a few people said my upset over this made me one. Blockity block block.

"Pedo Pam" is right there people!

i've talked about this before but clicking a substack link feels bad! it's not, at least for me, something active like a "boycott," it's just that it Feels Gross, in the same way that watching a harry potter movie on a streaming subscription i already pay for does. and i don't like feeling gross

That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

The surrounding buildings should fly rainbow flags from every window, huge banners off the roof, the city should paint an enormous rainbow on the pavement right in front of the building. Just drown it in rainbows.

“and then this motherfucker puts a FEATHER in his CAP, and you are not gonna believe what he called that shit. guess. just fuckin guess.”

There's plenty to criticize Democrats for, and I do it here all the time. But criticizing them for telling people they have to vote is so counterproductive it borders on malevolent. If in 2026, you don't get how important it is, you are as much a part of the problem as anyone you're angry at.

hi all. it costs me (out of pocket) about $500/ month to run this pod, and the only real income I get is via my patreon. So if you pledge a few $/ month, you can help me continue to make this pod - plus you can get cool stuff, like books, reading lists, & cocktail recipes link below. thanks.

In case you were wondering why we moved to Ghost many months ago. Speak with your clicks, speak with your attention—and get off substack.

Fun preview of how UConn will get bounced: losing to a tourney team that knows how to get to the line and convert.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

I rarely do this, but I’m hoping I maybe have enough of a following here that someone can help: I need to get in contact with Donkey Kong. It’s urgent

MLB TV will remain $150 a season but look at this BS they’re trying to pull. You cannot “buy” MLB TV without buying ESPN Unlimited, but they give you a one month free trial, and then the hope is you forget to cancel since you don’t need ESPN to have MLB TV, only to initially purchase.

There are still people who think this way??

There’s an interesting lawsuit out of Connecticut I’ve been following that rests on the question of whether darkness — yes, darkness, the primordial Erebus himself— is a natural resource. Here’s why that’s potentially a big deal.
