Good morning from the picket line in Lancaster, PA! Workers are STILL on ULP strike and are continuing to say DON'T BUY STARBUCKS anywhere! #NoContractNoCoffee

Google has moved from moral cowardice (removing ICE tracking apps) to direct complicity in the violent, unconstitutional abuse of vulnerable people. As a civil liberties lawyer who worked at Google for ten years, this one hits me in the gut.

But a separate cache of more than 18,000 emails obtained by Bloomberg News offers another window into the mind of a sex offender who federal officials say harmed as many as 1,000 people.

Trump is demanding that GOP side with him over Epstein's victims, Rep Ansari tells me. She had a harrowing exchange with one victim who recounts how her mom had cancer and he exploited that. Also note her mockery of network disclaimers on Trump. More like this, Ds: newrepublic.com/article/2031...

"attachments photos.pptx and honorkillings.doc" I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS...

Oh wow: "Trivers defended his friend Jeffrey Epstein procuring underaged prostitutes, on the basis that girls mature earlier than in the past. "By the time they’re 14 or 15, they’re like grown women were 60 years ago, so I don't see these acts as so heinous," Trivers said. "[19]"

MORE: The executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia, Pete Skandalakis, will take over the Georgia election interference case.

The email confirmed in the House Oversight Committee’s document release, page 1620, image file HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_030719. #OpDeathEaters

Mark Epstein asked his brother Jeffrey Epstein whether Steve Bannon could confirm if Putin has “the photo of Trump blowing Bubba. Jeffrey Epstein: "I thought I had tsuris,” using the Yiddish term for troubles. #OpDeathEaters

Interesting that Epstein writes (March 19, 2018) that he's with Bannon... During this period Bannon was heavily focused on elevating European right-wing populist/nationalist parties aspiring to government in countries such as GB, GE, AU, BE, NL, FR, PL, IT, HU, etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_B...

This seems to have come and gone a little too quietly www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/b...

Good morning Haven't heard from Elmo in awhile Mars awaits you Please hurry up and go

WOW ! Almost 100 years apart, hungry people still look sad and hungry. Shame on Trump and the GOP 😠

I don’t buy Christmas gifts but if you do, here are some cool ideas that also support a museum instead of a billionaire

The tech bros and Trump are steadily achieving all their major targets, including the elimination of job opportunities for college graduates entering the marketplace for the first time. www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

People need to study the humanities, case study number one million.

Bannon and Epstein joking about Epstein being a child rapist before a meeting in March 2019, three months before Epstein was arrested. "Im easy , the meeting is now Piled [sic: billed] as the child rapist meets the nitwits intellectual. . not sue which is funnier" drive.google.com/file/d/1EKKd...

Private equity firm Sycamore Partners bought Walgreens. Now Walgreens has stopped giving most workers paid vacation on Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays. Private equity takeovers are a disaster for workers, and customers.

President Trump is not above the law. His pardons for allies who tried to overturn the 2020 election are a threat to our democracy.

If there is a clear and present danger to the United States, the President must present this to the American people and to Congress before starting a war. If that isn’t done, then Trump must immediately stop before the lives of our service members are put in greater danger.

I condemn the Trump Administration’s unprecedented and illegal strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific.

“I didn’t love the idea of protecting pedophiles, but it was ultimately the right thing to do,” explained the Republican, “because that was the only way I could hurt the economy, get secret police tear-gassing kids, end Constitutional democracy, and pocket some cash while I’m at it. You understand.”

A mutation in the flu virus means this year’s flu season is expected to be a bad one, potentially even worse than last year’s record-breaking season. www.huffpost.com/entry/severe...

Here's Trivers insulting Jamaicans to Epstein

Here's an email to Epstein, from someone named Robert Trivers, calling Alan Dershowitz a "Jewish Nazi" and Trump a "Narcissistic Psychopath"

US DROPS BIDEN PROPOSAL TO REQUIRE AIRLINES TO PAY COMPENSATION FOR DISRUPTED FLIGHTS -- NOTICE

I want to be clear that the House passing the government funding bill tonight does not mean the fight for health care is over, far from it. We get louder, we fight harder—and we make our voices heard at the ballot box to win power and help people.

We seriously have Republicans talking about going back to the “good old days” of high-risk pools, which just meant that people with preexisting conditions like cancer couldn’t get health insurance.

The Trump administration can go on as many cable news shows as they want to lie about prices—but American families know the truth. The costs of everything from groceries to electricity are UP—and Trump and Republicans are doing NOTHING to help.

PSA: There is no Republican health care plan.

A new report lays bare the horror inside El Salvador’s CECOT prison: migrants tortured, brutalized, sexually assaulted. One detainee said guards forced them to kneel, shaved their heads, beat them with batons. The director greeted them with: “You’ve arrived in hell.”

"Fuentes’ politics are not a betrayal of the Heritage Foundation’s principles, they are their culmination. Fuentes is the fly born of Heritage’s maggot: the next stage in the life cycle of hateful politics motivating Roberts and the wider conservative movement."

The notion that noted Nazi Fuentes is a “betrayal” of Heritage Foundation principles is laughable. Heritage has long played footies with fascism. @Adamlaats shows in his book about conservative education reforms, Heritage’s coming out was in support of book banning protests supported by the Klan.

The next question should always be: What about Jack Smith? Was he appointed properly? If not, why not?

LOL: Eric Adams. ERIC ADAMS sent an email out today reminding state employees they can't accept gifts this holiday season. BAHAHAHAHA

Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines? Sure, Jan.

Epstein survivor Annie Farmer: "It was very unlikely that we would get the signatures we needed for this discharge petition. And here we are. ... For years people said it was unlikely that anyone would care or know about the crimes of Epstein and his co-conspirators." @kaitlancollins.bsky.social

A reminder that in 2022, President Biden signed the “Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act,” eliminating the statute of limitations to file civil action for federal sex offenses. Seems relevant.

There's a lot we have not visualized in a useful way. One of the big ones is the SHIFT in govt employment from "people who cure cancer" and "people who make sure your Social Security comes on time" and "people who care for veterans" to "people who kidnap your neighbors."

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Worth 1,000 words. This picture is so revealing about so much about this “administration.” Step back five feet from the dram of any photo about any Trump action or policy, and you’ll see the boom arms, the rigging, the floodlights…

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends. It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

Great week for Pulte. @wsj.com @apnews.com @politico.com

Who knows. For years I thought, "*Now* will they finally say 'enough'?" Is this finally the big—as some have so aptly put it—jailbreak? Let us hope and pray that it is. But let's not hold our breath.

NEW: The Nevada Supreme Court has revived the criminal case against the Trump 2020 fake electors, ruling that AG Ford was correct to bring the case in Clark County. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

There's a lot of real estate between "reject someone as forever irredeemable" and "give them one of the most powerful positions in the world."
