Me, wisely: "But *his* emails"

New motto just dropped for the moderate Dems — Your billions, our choice

Dirac speculated that only one single electron existed in the entire universe and it was doing all the work that we see. Similarly, perhaps Epstein was personally involved in every sex crime everywhere all at once

healthcare reform in the sense that teeth and eyes shouldn’t be a separate insurances and systems

Jail is the moderate option

Inshallah, soon we will [ToS violation]

Showing how the elite protect the elite, even when they know their own is likely a child predator, is a whole untapped layer of populism for the American left and center.

The funniest possible outcome to this is JD refusing to pardon him

Not to put too fine a point on this, but "a mass defection of Republican lawmakers on the vote [in the House] — perhaps 100 or more" constitutes a veto-proof majority. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Johnson picked up the threat this evening that the vote happens now, or there will be a new Speaker who will hold the vote ...

Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me. — Jesus of Nazareth

the correct way to handle truly odious defections from an enemy is just to refrain from spitting on them. you don't have to make friends with them and you absolutely shouldn't trust them. just refrain from spitting on them when they are attacking your enemies

I don’t mean to be glib but this is probably a more damning indictment of American elite culture than the Iraq Invasion.

Genuinely hadn't occurred to me until today that maybe some of these tech billionaires are so psyched about AI because they are unironically impressed by LLM's writing skills.

Trump spent his first Thanksgiving after getting elected President with Jeffrey Epstein. 2017.

honestly my estimation of House Democrats has grown a little bit from the fact that they were clearly eager to leak this *entire* trove of emails even though they would damage or ruin the reputations of a bunch of Democratic Party luminaries who are in the emails

Senate Brain vs. Hakeem Jeffries randomly knifing people

240 years later the House and Senate are performing exactly the roles the framers of the constitution envisioned for them and those framers who abhorred the nature of the senate are completely vindicated.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

The crisis of elite impunity that is ruining our society cannot be more clearly or convincingly demonstrated than with the fact that all of these people wrote all this stuff into an email and hit Send.

My initial feeling that Trump’s reelection had more to do with a bunch of factors aligning in his favor, rather than a broader realignment of American politics, turns out to be correct.

Maybe reports of Trump & Co. high-fiving in the ruins of the White House last night while hollering that Democrats are "pussies" & "cucks" pushed a Dem past the breaking point

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

Via @wildstein.bsky.social, Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in the New Jersey township of Parsippany (population of 56K. Pulkit Desai finished ahead of the GOP incumbent by 77 votes after the final count.

This is a huge win for progressives in the PNW!

Are we in recount territory now? @samshirazi.bsky.social @djsoke.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/tani...

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

From the top rope

New names just dropped for Ye's next kids

this is a twofer because both Dr Gay Hitler and George Washington Hitler are incredible names.

They’re calling it the quickest we’re so back it’s so over we’re so back cycle in history

senate democratic surrender caucus actually ended the shutdown to create the most harsh epstein news cycle yet

The Chuds are turning!

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
