It's like Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre have come back from the dead to totally unwind US politics. 🤔

I was thinking it would have been awesome if Bobo had worked with the DOJ and FBI on a bribe sting but then I caught myself cuz I know Pammy Jo and Kashish would never try to topple the orange king.

Today's Epstein news reminds me that in 1994 the Washington Post called for an independent counsel investigation of Whitewater "even though -- and this should be stressed -- there has been no credible charge in this case that either the president or Mrs. Clinton did anything wrong."

A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?" She did not respond.

🎯🎯🎯

Not the most important point but today's Epstein emails make it clear that Maxwell committed gross perjury in her interview with Todd Blanche, and it will still be within the statute of limitations when President (insert your favorite Dem) takes office in January 2029

In the US, law enforcement isn't just legally allowed to lie to you, they're ENCOURAGED to. OTOH, your lawyer is legally prohibited from lying to you and can lose her license for it. Which of those professions, though, do you reflexively associate more with lying? You're not immune to copaganda.

🚨BREAKING: At long last, Mike Johnson will swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4 pm ET.

Trying to think of a more vulgar person—or someone with less understanding of or appreciation for American history. No one comes immediately to mind.

I suspect you could say that about all his policies. It's a sad testament to the power of corporations and oligarches in the U.S. that are policies are oriented around profit which makes the wealthy wealthier.

Trump, Vance and Miller are repugnant.

Medicare for All is the answer.

What in the fuck

Latest polling shows her down by 8 with a 3.5 margin of error. That is amazing in these parts ( I live here). Thanks to everyone for their continued support 🫰💙

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy, said he would run for the congressional seat being vacated by Representative Jerrold Nadler.

🤷🏼

Incredible eulogy. Two class acts.

Newsom's latest troll 😆

Paul Begala has been deeply irrelevant for a long time.

Reprehensible. Ernst is terrible.

And they are absolutely correct. Providing intel to the United States would absolutely make the UK complicit in murder,

Josh Marshall pretty much sums up my own views about how the shutdown ended. He doesn't like it, but thinks that Dems gained a lot from the shutdown anyway, and that this will all come to a head again at the end of January, so don't despair. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-qui...

Score another one for the good guys.

This incendiary language from Trump will incite violence against Democrats. People will get killed. It’s already happened.

So, he basically made a handy list of 77 people who were definitely guilty of crimes surrounding the 2020 election. Otherwise, why would they need pardons?

Unconscionable.

What do you think about children being detained by Trump in facilities where they have to fight for clean drinking water? Where the water is cloudy, smells & upsets stomachs & the soap for showers causes rashes & they have to sleep on concrete floors? #ICELawlessness share.google/Bqxqbap6Nb0W...

Senator Chris Murphy Should Be The Minority Leader…..💙 BREAKING: Democrats most vulnerable Senator Jon Ossoff just voted no because he won’t stand for Republicans driving up Americans’ healthcare. That’s real leadership.

A majority of his supporters in red states receive SNAP benefits “food stamps.” We told them he doesn’t care about them. They didn’t listen. I am sad for their innocent children.

No they didn't. What they failed to understand is that the Republican party would keep the government shut down indefinitely because they couldn't care less about the damage.

Both parties are complicit in it at this point. Single payer and getting the insurance racket / parasites out of ROUTINE health care is the only thing that makes any sense. Catastrophic coverage is another matter entirely but the insurance 'industry' has metastasized into something completely toxic

Reporter: Dr Oz said that— Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for assisting in & participating in the rape of countless children & without explanation, the Trump admin moved her to a Club Fed where she is now being waited on hand & foot & they even gave her a fucking puppy. Anyone wanna explain that?

When asked to comment, Mike Johnson replied, “I’m not sure I’ve heard of Adelita Grijalva, but I’ll get back to you on that.”

Translation: we have nothing

Thoughtful take on the CR/minibus
