Thank you @balint.house.gov. You did your job.

Factoid I was unaware of.

Trixie really wants my attention #caturday

House Republicans should bring in the person who is named the most in the Epstein Files, Donald Trump.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

I hope all my favorite WaPo writers who left earlier and were reasons for dropping my subscription are feeling like they read the room correctly.

I call this one “Heated Rivalry”

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Bring it!

This is the best explanation I've seen. And it further demonstrates the dangers of semi-professional, poorly-trained thugs with weapons (which is also why they had to shoot the man on the ground so many times. Too many times for a properly trained law enforcement official).

Amen, sister.

I really, really dislike Vance. Ain't no way this guy is being elected President ever! He's got zero charisma and will throw his wife and kids under the bus if he thinks it will serve him. Gross.

Jack Smith is a fucking hero. The antithesis of tRump in every possible way. Marry me, Jack!

WATCH — @pissedoffbartender.bsky.social: “The Epstein files are over a month late while the DOJ uses your taxpayer funds to find a way to vilify Renee Good's widow… are you tired of this administration playing in your f*ckin’ face yet?”

Can we please protect the children? I remember being a kid and being told to go back to Africa. And that was before Trump. Kids right now have it so much worse. The cruelty is louder, more public, more sanctioned. Shelter the little ones. No one deserves this treatment, but especially not them.

Violent, angry people should not be "enforcing the laws of this country".

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

release the files

RIP pagan Santa. You were no match for the dachshund.

Bless the liberal, white wine moms.

I've never been a fan of the Clintons. I won't go into the why unless someone wants to in the comments. But I'm super proud of the stand they are taking in this letter. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

My people, especially if dogs can be in the gang.

This woman! You go!

It was cool to like Jerry (and I did), but I was always a Bobby girl. RIP Bob Weir.

Ya'll! January is killing me.

As of today, January 9, less than 1% of Epstein files have been released. The DOJ has more than 2 million documents that remain unreleased in “various phases of review and redaction.” Meaning various stages of "cover-up"

Could someone just feed her a cheeseburger? I'm sure she'd be a lot less bitchy if she just ate something.

Damn

Five years ago.

At least I live in the most beautiful place. #adirondacks

Ya'll! Just when I hoped to find and make a less political Bluesky. Congress best get off their collective ass today and take some action. General strike? Of course not, they killed labor in the USA too. Sigh...

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

The big man found himself a leftover leg. #adirondacks #wolf

This is why they want us talking about day care scams.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

WHY NOT? Medicare could be modified to benefit all American Citizens, not just the old. Instead of putzing around and getting nothing done, it's time for our elected officials to step up and join the other democratic nations that have already made healthcare a citizen's right.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

Ya'll! T and I are fine. Not even in Providence for the shooting.
