NOTE: This is part of a series of stories based on emails and other documents sent to and from Jeffrey Epstein's private Yahoo account obtained by @bloomberg.com earlier this year. These weren't included in more than 20K pages of docs that a congressional committee released publicly on Nov. 12.

I asked grok who was the better role model for humanity, Jesus Christ or Elon Musk. GUESS WHAT.

Checking in on MechaHitler

Interviews and records show the White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation. The incident is the latest in a string of matters where the Trump administration has inserted itself to help friends and target foes.

New reporting that the Trump White House intervened through Trump lackey, Paul Ingrassia, on behalf of accused international sex traffickers, the Tate Brothers. My latest with the details including a deep dive into Ingrassia’s own scandal-ridden history. youtu.be/FK7fPBKcDnc?...

christ this is grim

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Congrats to Bill Pulte for being named Washington Main Character of the Week (Non-Epstein Division)

🔥“Ten years ago you said Trump was an authoritarian. I’ve gotta hand it to you Scott, that was a remarkable forecast.” @MilesTaylorUSA (who worked in the first Trump administration) hands smug @ScottJenningsKY’s his ass for becoming a Trump loyalist for personal ambition

Repeating this insight.

Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.

Oct 29, 2025 - Some pastors and their followers are angry that Trump's administration has lifted bans on immigration agents going into churches to make arrests. Others are dismayed by cuts to humanitarian aid programs at home and abroad. www.axios.com/2025/10/29/e...

It’s weird for Republicans to say out loud that Charlie Kirk’s murder should have helped them win elections. It’s fucking weird.

Sometimes you have to reeducate grown folk

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

TIRED: “I alone can fix it.” WIRED: “Do something Democrats!!!”

That’s a trillion dollar increase in two months.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Trump, the self-declared “father of IVF,” promised to lower costs and expand access — but delivered nothing more than a PR stunt.

A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

“I love America more than any other country in the world, and exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” ~James Baldwin

Wait one damn minute‼️ I know Lisa Murkowski isn’t up on her high horse talking about the lack of trust between Republicans and Democrats after she cast the deciding “Yes” on the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill and slipped in backroom deals for Alaska. She’s part of the problem & needs to own it!

My understanding is this means he will be elected president next.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Today's Letitia James indictment appears to relate to a *different* property in Norfolk, Virginia, from the one that was the subject of Bill Pulte's April "criminal referral" letter. While Pulte described a property in zip 23505 bought in 2023, the indictment refers to one in 23509 bought in 2020.

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Is hysteria an essential ingredient for fascism?

“Hello. You have reached the voicemail for the FBI. All our agents are currently busy redacting names from the Epstein files, doctoring evidence to politicize mass shootings and investigating anyone the President does not like. Please leave your contact info and someone will call you back soon.”

SCOOP: PA prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parent's address in Pennsylvania for years. Me with @marisakabas.bsky.social slate.com/news-and-pol...

"About six in ten adults say they have heard “a little” (30%) or “nothing at all” (31%) about the expiring ACA subsidies, showing widespread lack of information on the cost of coverage for over 24 million people in the U.S." www.kff.org/affordable-c...

The kids are not alright, but they’re at least aware of the problem.

Lutnick on being invited over to his then-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein's house: He invites us in and there's a massage table in the middle of the room. I say, "Massage table in the middle of your house? How often you have a massage? And he says, "Every day...and the right kind of massage."

"One clinical psychologist [said] he considers Trump such a 'classic' pathological narcissist that he is actually 'archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there’s no better example' of the characteristics of the disorder he displays."

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Crockett: "What assurances do we have if we entered into an agreement with these Republicans that they wouldn't go back on their word and just say, 'Oh yeah, we'll sign off on a rescissions package'"

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Update: Kai Trump's brand tells me her clothing line's fabrics are made in Bangladesh

BARTIROMO: How do you get back to pre-covid spending when you're bringing some healthcare subsidies back? MIKE JOHNSON: We're not. The subsidies for Obamacare would expire at the end of the year. I'm not in favor of that. I think it's bad policy. But that's not an issue for right now.

Crow: They’re doing things that are deeply unpopular. Their approval ratings continue to go down—that is, Republican members of Congress and this administration—and yet they don’t seem worried about it. Which raises the obvious question: what are they going to do?

It looks like Trump's hand picked Supreme Court isn't going to stop him from rescinding money that Congress already agreed to use. How can Democrats agree to a Republican budget that lets Trump delete the parts of it he doesn't like?

Reminder that Trump's initial rationale for sending the troops in Portland was something he saw on TV

that we have built an alternate media ecosystem in which every American city is an apocalyptic hellhole - completely unmoored from reality - and the political system has collapsed to the point that the president can use this fabrication to send troops against his own citizens is a staggering failure

Instead of helping our farmers, the Administration is sending a $20 billion bailout to Argentina. Even as Argentina is taking markets away from our farmers. As the American Soybean Association put it: “The frustration is overwhelming.” www.axios.com/2025/09/24/t...
