If Donald Trump wants to release the Epstein files, he could just release them, instead of green-lighting the House resolution. And it's not as if he cares whether he has statutory authority to do a lot of what he's been doing. But he needs a law for this?

Q: Speaker Johnson is calling on the Senate to make revisions to this bill because he says it's doesn't adequately protect survivors MASSIE: That's been a red herring all along. The survivors have always been in favor of this legislation. He's trying to save face.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems. "Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map." Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There's definitely a consistent theme with the Trump White House

I saw Del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN late tonight, and I thought it was a pure delight. In the last scene the Creature walked toward the sunrise. Then suddenly, to my surprise…

It's not just that he's a pedophile, he was the least popular pedophile

He's proposing this again today: 1. Take money away from insurance companies. 2. Give that money to the people. 3. The people can then buy their own insurance. 4. From, presumably, companies that sell insurance. 5. Which are also known as "insurance companies."

I’ve watched them gaslight for ten years, but I never thought they’d dismiss pedophilia based on the victim’s age. Yet here we are.

Deeply ashamed just because you were soliciting a convicted child predator for advice on cheating on your wife my pressuring a younger colleague into sleeping with you while sneering at her and her work? Gosh Ross Douthat better write another piece decrying woke culture

They’re not going after criminals. “Criminals don’t get up and go to work and pay their bills.” These are not criminals; they’re hard-working people. EVERY LAST WORD OF THIS🔥

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Accused of mistreating and degrading women, Donald Trump mistreats and degrades a woman.

Some pig

Speaker Johnson is already laying the groundwork for massive redactions in the Epstein files. He lies so easily it barely looks like effort.

LOL. Why does he need to sign a bill to release the files when he can just RELEASE THE FILES?

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

We're primarying John Fetterman. Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians. We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

Massie: "There are a thousand survivors. They can't open enough investigations to cover up everything that's in these files."

As I told the Columbia Journalism Review, this swatting incident occurred just before I published an investigative report that unmasked the operators of four major neo-Nazi accounts on X. I don't think the timing was coincidental. www.cjr.org/analysis/loc...

These records indicate that someone successfully impersonated the FBI in order to get me swatted. I was already aware this had happened but had to wait nearly a year to get the document that proves it. My reports to the Dallas Police Department about this have gone unanswered.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

Andrew Johnson — a Jan. 6 rioter who went by "Am🇺🇸rican T🇺🇸rrorist” on Elon Musk’s platform — has been arrested on child molestation charges, with police saying he used the promise of a taxpayer-funded payout from Trump's DOJ to try and keep one of the victims silent. theintercept.com/2025/11/17/p...

Epstein’s brother has said this repeatedly

Not just arresting her--POINTING A FUCKING GUN AT HER.

“My sister is not a political tool for you to use. These survivors are not political tools for you to use. These are real stories, real trauma. And it's time for you to stop just talking about it and act. Vote yes.”

notably, Fox News is not broadcasting the Khanna/Massie/Greene Epstein news conference live. CNN and MS are.

“ At just 16 years old, she took a job at Mar a Lago, believing she had secured a dream summer position. But that dream quickly morphed into a nightmare when Ghislaine Maxwell preyed upon her…. They trafficked her”

Unless it wasn't a suicide at all....

I can usually translate him, but either I’m losing my mind, or he is.

Epstein survivor: "Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them."

When the facts are on your side, argue the facts. When the law is on your side, argue the law. When neither is on your side, glare menacingly while pointing and calling someone “piggy”. - Snarl Sandburg

“You are our president. Please start acting like it. Show some class. Show some real leadership. Show that you actually care about the people other than yourself. I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment.”

The misogyny is the point

WHAT A FUCKING SURPRISE

Trump was MIA 11 days before this and I posted he was about to stage something while Harris was gaining momentum. The big tell was Trump supporters were yelling at secret service agents when they saw the guy on the roof and they did nothing and that includes not securing the roof to begin with.

I'm hearing the reason Trump wants the files released is to distract from Tucker Carlson stating the assassination attempt in Butler, Pa was fake. I do know, none of the crowd ran after hearing shots, even the ones directly behind Trump. But we all know it was fake anyway.

Quiet, Piggy! I'm trying to explain how I would never disrespect girls and women!

Every outlet worth a damn should be calling this out. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

/2 The article and headline don’t arise in a vacuum, they arise on the front page of the New York Times, which has selected a very specific way to approach moral and political issues, characterized by detachment, both-sidesism, and trolling.
