Gill on Epstein Files: I reached out to sources and they say that not only did New York send over everything they had in March, but that the entire review process—using roughly a thousand analysts from the FBI’s Information Management Division—was specifically to review the files from New York

Republicans make the worst deals. Also they are all creeps.

Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday. According to her office, she is citing that his actions have allegedly "endangered public health" and "gutted lifesaving medical research."

Donald Trump: “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood,” Trump said. “I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart.”

Trump freezes ALL CHILDCARE FUNDING IN AMERICA after bullsh*t fraud conspiracy allegations from idiot YouTuber. On the same day that the health insurance premiums of millions of Americans skyrocketed, Trump decided to heap even more hardship on us by freezing all childcare funding for every state

This AFTER remains of a 30 ft boat washed ashore, with burned bodies inside & packages (small) of what residue tests establish was nothing more than Marijuana; which is legal for recreational use in several states. It's just murder. apnews.com/article/boat...

Tragic fact: About 1/3 of Americans don't believe in the United States of America.

Millions of Americans who purchase their health insurance through Obamacare are ringing in the New Year with an unwelcome gift: health care premiums that are more than doubling in most cases, thanks to Republican lawmakers who failed to agree on a plan to extend the enhanced tax credits.

So it’s OK for Trump to commit fraud but nobody else. Do I have this right?

A New Year’s Thought for the Day…

Ha! 🤣🤣 I’m STILL not going to see anyone perform at the Kennedy Center as long as the asshole’s name is on the building.

House Republicans asked Jack Smith about me. I continue to live rent free in the heads of these MAGA idiots. h/t: @emptywheel.bsky.social

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

The more you know…

The GOP’s midterm strategy is literally just Comet Pizza

If there was no constant gaslighting of an uneducated base, MAGA would dry up like an elderly person on Republican healthcare. Senator Markwayne Mullin The Working Families Tax Cut bill, which every Democrat voted AGAINST, included the largest EVER federal investment in rural health care.

As we bid goodbye to 2025 — and all the thuggery, corruption, squalor, and cruelty it spewed — I want to thank you for standing up to it. Some thoughts on the year that was... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/thank-you

Kyiv was hit with 500 drones and 40 missiles. Civilians died. Trump’s response? Understanding Putin’s inconvenience. This isn’t diplomacy. It’s a bromance—paid for in Ukrainian lives. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

🚨BREAKING: One Republican lawyer who worked to overturn the 2020 election alongside leaders of the effort, and a second who was a senior member of Cleta Mitchell’s anti-voting network, were recently hired to work on voting issues at the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.

Trump's not welcome in Colorado. If they could give another 5 years to Tina Peters for being a MAGA C'nt that would be a service to the country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-b-...

Large law firms are siding with Trump over their clients and employees. Let me give you one statistic to exemplify this: DOJ is suing 22 states for access to sensitive voter data. My firm of 60 lawyers is fighting in all 22. Not a single big law firm is fighting along side us in any case.

ROVE: “.. He’s gone way too far by slapping his name on buildings .. “.. the public is tiring of his hyperbole and insatiable desire for retribution. Increasingly, they may hear only the offensive or cruel things he says.” @thehill.com thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Just ask a postal clerk to postmark it for you. Always.

🦋Amazing how an entire entity that is supposed to work for the people is being weaponized to be used for one person only...I guess that actually applies to our government as well...VOTE EARLY!!🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵

The United States Postal Service (USPS) finalized a rule on postmarks to reflect changes in its mail pickup processes that could cause an uptick in blown deadlines for documents sent by post, including mail-in ballots. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Get this guy off the stage…

“Out of touch” isn’t it. A president who gilds the Oval Office in gold, slaps his own name on a cultural institution, tears down the East Wing for his own vanity project, and then tells us the affordability crisis is all in our heads. It’s not out of touch; it’s contempt for the people he governs.

RFK Jr. Will Let Us All Die Just to Make a Buck “Kennedy can kill off access to vaccines and make millions of dollars while he does it. Kids might die, but Robert Kennedy can keep cashing in.” newrepublic.com/article/2044...

More out of touch rhetoric coming out of the White House. My health insurance premium just went up over $1000 per month. A one time refund of $1K-$2K is not “gignatic”.

All the far-right strongmen are in one big bro-club under leadership from Trump. They want nothing less than one big global autocracy. The planet is experiencing “a veritable global wave of autocratisation" english.elpais.com/internationa...

Every so-called "leader" Trump included now parroting 🦜 the made-up ‘attack’ on one of Putin’s palaces is exposing themselves. They don’t give a damn about people. They worship wealth, power, and palaces. That’s the truth.

Who agrees? ✋

To me, the Democratic party as an institution projects weakness. The vast majority of Americans have had enough of Trump, but they expect a clear vision of what the alternative will look like. They also expect moral clarity and a readiness to fight for our democracy. They're not getting that.

Trump posted a clip to his Truth Social account Wednesday that suggested the Kennedy name be removed entirely from the Kennedy Center. The clip complained that Kennedy had been “elevated to obscene levels.”

In any other reality, this statement would cause a major uproar, investigations, a demand for trump's resignation. Here? It's just Tuesday.

Now that the Christmas and New Year’s concerts at the Kennedy Center have been canceled, guess who’s going to be up all night posting crap?
