Best Twitter riposte of the day

Pam Bondi, you can fuck off. I have a First Amendment right to film ICE. In fact, we’ve built an app for immigrants to lawfully fight back against ICE. We’re raising $ to get the “know your rights” app to those who most need it. Hey Pam, make a contribution. Here’s the GoFundMe link: PAXIS.app.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

A smarter model for paying for college: income-based repayment. You start paying your student loans only once you earn enough to comfortably get by. That turns higher ed debt into something more like a tax surcharge on success, not a choke collar on people who are struggling.

Everyone should read this week’s WSJ story on Trump selling pardons. It’s some of the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen—you can literally corner him at one of his lame parties and walk away with a pardon. How is this not the biggest story in the country?

Epstein survivor Marijke Chartouni reacts to Donald Trump's latest post about Jeffrey Epstein: "Every accusation is a confession. Cheers. 🥂"

In February, Elon Musk posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He asked if we suffered childhood trauma and concluded by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This was my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

some good climate/energy news: * 96% of new US power capacity was carbon-free in 2024 (56 gigawatts!) * 2025 included the first month ever when 51% of power on the U.S. grid was carbon-free * The golbal trend is overwhelming: The world is now investing more $ in clean energy than fossil fuels

Today - DOJ releases files from redacted Assistant U.S. Attorney flagging that Trump "traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)."

I love that he's explaining the housing crisis from the landlord perspective

“He raped me.” “Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” “She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.” Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

This victim told a driver that she couldn't report Trump raping her because "They will kill me." In 2021, another victim said that Epstein told her girls who don't behave are fed to alligators and took her where they die. He threatened to kill her and her son.

As you know, I am an expert on letters/documents. This one is an obvious fake, clearly made by someone in the days after Epstein died as a very sick joke. The content is preposterously ridiculous in every way and the postmark is from North Virginia. DOJ obv wants it out there for the reason below.

Alan Dershowitz, Mr “I kept my underwear on” is not going to be happy about this. The redacted document says he negotiated the Epstein agreement in order to protect himself. More generally, Epstein’s buddies are not going to be happy, as there seems to be a way to see behind the redactions …

Implausible deniability

these are the kind of numbers that, *at the end of a president's term*, herald a total wipeout for his party in the next election. we are in december of year one.

This is Bari Weiss in stonewalling, chin-out, "I won't let the haters get to me" mode. Whether she gets away with it will be determined by whether Sharyn Alfonsi's colleagues at 60 Minutes and CBS News decide to fight back. Pelley, Stahl, Cooper--this decision goes on everyone's permanent record.

There will need to be a full changing of the guard when this is over.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

Pope Leo: “Creation is crying. But many powerful people do not hear this cry: the wealth of the earth is in the hands of a few, very few, increasingly concentrated – unjustly – in the hands of those who often do not want to hear the groaning of the earth and the poor.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

BREAKING: Democrats are now +16 on the general ballot. I don't think I've seen anything like this. Also, this is a A+ poll taken BEFORE the government botched the Epstein release today.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Schiff: "I think we ought to bring Pam Bondi before the Senate Judiciary Committee demand answers as to why the DOJ has violated the law."

Schiff: "Part of this is a consequence I think frankly of Chief Justice Roberts giving the president absolute immunity when it comes to his instructions to the DOJ. He can pretty much order them to do what he wants and know that he will never be held criminally liable."

It gets even more pathetic— x.com/RepBeatty/st...

The Pulitzer Board is actually fighting back against one of Trump’s vexatious lawsuits, saying, ‘If you were harmed, prove it — with medical and financial records.’ Not rolling over like some of the capitulating companies we’ve seen. newrepublic.com/post/204475/...

If Trump launches an illegal war against Venezuela without congressional authorization Congress must impeach him immediately. He has no legal authority to start a war. It’s insane, unconstitutional, and criminal.

Hegseth repeatedly misled the public about this strike. The boat was headed for Suriname, not the U.S. It wasn't carrying fentanyl. The survivors didn't "radio for backup." This strike was illegal, and Hegseth is trying to cover up what happened by refusing to release video.

"Wiles believed a middle ground on tariffs would ultimately succeed, she said, 'but it’s been more painful than I expected'” They're admitting what we've all known - the cost of everything is going up, the economy is flailing, jobs are disappearing, and Trump is everything worse.

It's bad.

This is so fucking insane and disqualifying. Vance is a profoundly hollow man.

James Talarico’s message to Gen Z: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. Your boss, your landlord, and your insurance company cares about politics. And until you care about politics, they're gonna keep using the political system to screw you over.”

BREAKING: Russia has indicated it's open to Ukraine joining the European Union as part of a potential peace deal to end the war, U.S. officials said.

He's losing more court cases,aura of invincibility, power to convince Congress they should fear him > voters and to convince voters to disbelieve own experience, and losing strength to bend state legis to his will. Most vividly, he has lost control over himself. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

It's a defining feature of the Trump Era: unqualified people in big important jobs who don't want to do them and can't anyway so they spend a lot of time pretending to do it on TV and social media.

Fox News’ Chief National Security Correspondent. We are about to go to war for oil, while citing a lie as justification. Again.

Damnit this is good writing, @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social.

Thinking of this quote and Senator Cassidy for some reason. #MAHA

oh my GOD its worse than Dukakis

👀👀👀👀 Release the Epstein files.
