Fuck you if you support him.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

There is literally no reason for the military to be in D.C.

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.’ George Orwell, Animal Farm

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

A foreign country bribed the president with a bar of gold. Where are my Originalists at?

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

In 2017, the sitting president had Thanksgiving with his old friend who had been convicted of sex crimes with a minor. And we’re only learning about this now?

Our leading news organizations turned a cache of ultimately-innocuous emails into a scandal-coded weeklong series of front page stories leading into the 2016 election. If they do not cover the "emails from notorious pedophile implication the President" emails with the same fervor, it's curious!

A message for the senate democrats

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

You mean we gotta spend an extra hour in the middle of all this

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Andrew Cuomo loves New York City so much he will abandon it if he can't be in charge

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish. The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

In spite of the headline, there is the pesky legal matter that neither billionaires or anybody else can “give” money to “pay troops” or anything else. However, a great compromise would be for billionaires to pay more money into the general treasury through “taxes.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

Just disgusting.

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.

"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

It sounds like the Republicans should stop protecting Bill Clinton and release the Epstein files.

Once again, one reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is bc every societal institution, including the media, has totally normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

unless those jokes are about charlie kirk, in which case the vice president absolutely believes your life should be ruined

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Fordham Law Professor signs memorandum declaring the Buffalo Bills winners of Super Bowl LX, escalating his challenge to the authority of the NFL* on football matters.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

checks and balances? in this economy?

It will never not be wild that the people who never stopped talking about Biden’s alleged corruption haven’t said a word about Trump’s actual corruption, which is on wildly larger scale. dekleptocracy.substack.com/p/trumps-she...

this is genuinely how klein sees himself right now

Ezra Klein shut the fuck up challenge

They're trying to rig the election and get rid of Ossoff. Get rid of absentee and early voting and then whoops Fulton County doesn't have enough machines on election day and the lines are 7 hours long. Old playbook but it works

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired

charlie kirk is MLK. camera is hamas. chair is astronaut. baby is stove. yawn is owl.

Leaving aside the creepy implication that "traditional political violence" is OK and this is somehow different ... they're still insinuating that this attack came from "the left" and "the left" bears responsibility on the whole, even though everything we know suggests he was somewhere on the right.

Set aside Sen. Mike Lee's storm of lies and incitement here. Lee literally made jokes on Twitter about the fmr Speaker of the Minnesota state house being murdered in her home by a right wing extremist. Hard to imagine any more twisted and malicious person in public life.
