"The Epstein class"

Sometimes, just sometimes, you have to love Americans.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Narrator: "And they're BOTH in the Epstein Files"

Re-upping this in light of the discussion with Secretary Bessent today. The oil companies have all been put on alert that they are financially exposed if the WH is selling them oil without clean title. Bessent said nothing today to assuage that risk.

“.. Not a single Republican member of Congress showed up to the public forum .. on the violence inflicted by federal immigration agents, featuring testimony from the brothers of Renee Good ..” @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/post/206100/...

“Brexit is just the beginning.”

If true, this could explain a lot: Epstein’s mysterious money; the wire transactions to former Soviet states; Trump’s submissiveness around Putin.

The priest at my church got beat up at an anti-ICE protest on the peninsula this week, and when he showed up for Mass today with a black eye all the church ladies swooned like they had seen a Backstreet Boy.

Just think about the amazing Epstein scoops the new CBS Evening News contributors will have just by interviewing each other.

Trump last night: “We’re not going to invade Greenland. We’re going to buy it,” he said. “It’s never been my intention to make Greenland the 51st state. I want to make Canada the 51st state. Greenland will be the 52nd state. Venezuela can be 53rd.”

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

6. Weiss presents her mission at CBS as restoring trust by elevating centrist voices, which is accurate enough if we understand "centrist voices" to mean "the type of men likely to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein."

Brad Karp, chairman of Paul, Weiss, settled with Trump only six days after getting Trump's crazy demands. No fight at all. The New Yorker, baffled, thought the issue might be that a Paul, Weiss partner had worked for Robert Mueller. But maybe it's all even simpler. 2/ web.archive.org/web/20251105...

They are flooding the zone with names to dilute Trump. This is an old playbook “everyone does it”

Here’s Sophie Gilbert in The Atlantic. “Melania shows off her custom-made inauguration gown, stark white with black ribbons overlaying it, a dress that now looks unavoidably like the redacted Epstein files.”

Or only hardcore Maga fans are going to see it?

“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

Calling up your Dem senators and thanking them for doing this is how you encourage them to hold the line, no matter how low your estimation of them is

They already were doing that, but Miller wanted 3,000 arrests per day.

"The endgame is the Insurrection Act....the moment Trump can see a situation in which he feels justified in invoking it, it starts a domino effect that will lead to martial law and the suspension of the 2026 elections." @michaelsteele.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Pod:

Huh. This entire administration is an Epstein Island afterparty.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Holy shit. So this just happened at Minneapolis's legendary First Avenue club. That's Tom Morello introducing Springsteen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jHe...

MELANIA has been nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography in the FIFA Oscars

I wonder if someone did a bulk buy of tickets. 😏

I’ve tried to tell out-of-towners that one of the low-key traumas of living here is these psychos ignoring all traffic laws. I’ve actually reduced my driving further just to avoid their shittery, but they can cream you on a bike or roll up on sidewalk just as easily.

Standing with Minnesotans tonight and paying my respects to Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

They always have the energy to be petty.

STICK TO THE BOAT, is your true motto in whaling; but cases will sometimes happen when LEAP FROM THE BOAT, is still better.

After everything we’ve seen the past few days…are we feeling confident about this gang giving up power after the 2028 election?

"This isn’t about immigration enforcement. This is straight-out fascism. ... They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are beating up and killing citizens to create disruption, so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office."

The march to fascism may pause or slow down briefly, but it doesn't end until Trump and his minions are totally and completely gone. He must be impeached and removed.

Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning

“Eyewitness video appears to contradict Trump administration claims about incident” CBC News, both-sidesing fascism. (Americans, this is about Canadian news, *NOT* CBS).

Also in attendance: the CEO’s of #$AMD #$AMZN #$ZM #$GE (we bring good things to light irony alert)

Still hard to believe this is in America.

So maybe there is hope?
