I think there’s this thing people do where when they imagine a 15 year old they think of the 25 year old who would play them on tv. Actual 15 year olds look like children.

Love to see him trashing his base when polls show that lots and lots of Republicans want those files released.

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

None of them wanted to be singled out for retribution by being the final vote on the petition, but being one of a hundred defectors on the actual vote provides some cover.

as I said before, everyone keeps dancing around the fact that this is open nativist blood libel. This is how you legitimize mass dispossession, en masse, of an entire sub-population of a nation. And this is now an institutionalized belief in ostensibly the most powerful org in international finance.

now we know how the "tariff shelf" is getting cleaned out and won't be available to repay the American public

And just like that, they stopped caring about emails.

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms: ✅He personally directs criminal investigations. ✅He is targeting opponents. ✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents. Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

Remember on the Tonight Show when Ed McMahon used to stroll over to the side of the stage and do a commercial?

Platkin: They didn’t go to the mat to make sure people could eat. They didn’t go to the mat to make sure people could afford their health care. But they sure as hell made sure they could make hundreds of thousands of dollars on our backs based on some bogus theory of how they were harmed.

They talk about "our Homeland" and then can't understand why we call them Nazis.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

By the end of the year, they'll be claiming that Trump walks on water.

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

If I were Venezuelans right now, I'd be pretty pissed that my odds of dying had just increased because a pedophile needed to protect himself. I mean, talk about innocent bystanders.

epstein in dozens of pieces of written documentation: the presidential candidate my best friend loves coming over to my house for the young girls i rent reporters: we are getting closer to busting this thing wide open

It's even more outrageous because Biden actually had a very good economy to boast about and if NPR reporters are too ignorant to know that, they are in the wrong line of work.

The Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

If only all the brown people would leave, houses would cost *checks notes* twice as much because there would be no one to build them.

Whoa! Immigrants come here with nothing and the next thing you know they’re buying houses that established citizens cannot afford? Those enterprising newcomers sound like just the sort of folks we need. Never mind that JD’s premise is as BS as his 30M number.

Just came across an email where Michael Wolff and Epstein are discussing how to discredit Dylan Farrow's story about getting r*ped by Woody Allen by getting Soon-Yi Previn to "turn this into a love story with Soon-Yi. She's the only one who can save him" and I think I need a break now. Christ.

"There is a lot more." Rep. Garcia shares the DOJ is hoarding files from federal Epstein investigations. "Photographs, possibly videos, they have information we need to actually bring justice to the survivors and to implicate the wealthy and powerful men that abused and raped children and women."

anyone planning to ask the White House about the stock market tanking today?

Trump's focus is on blocking the release of the Epstein files. And he sure doesn't want to answer questions about that.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Just letting you all know so you can block her.

I understand how paragraphs like this emerge from the editing process, but of course “little attention has been given” to a story no one knew about a minor victim whose identity was protected by a bunch of laws. As Schmidt says in his post, this is our first encounter with this information.

A lot of people have helped Trump cover up his involvement with Epstein. They need to think very carefully about their choices going forward. It's one thing to cheer on his ballroom or root for DOGE. Running interference for pedophiles is something the history books won’t forget.

It's like everyone woke up this morning and figured out that even though the shutdown is over and the planes are flying, the president is still incompetent, crazy, and vengeful.

just a reminder this guy slashed the tires on his much younger female coworkers tires to trick her into getting in his car he was married at the time

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.” Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration. Weird coincidence.

Raskin: "The DOJ hasn't released any of these emails that mention Trump's name & identify his role in all these activities. Those came from the Epstein estate. So this is a demonstration the govt is deliberately withholding the info everybody is actually looking for & could be damaging to Trump"

And yet I was attacked last week for pointing out that descending on an apartment building in the middle of the night in full body armor and arresting everyone in the building, including children, without any evidence of terrorism means we are now living under fascism.

They probably starved to death.

And who among us has not needed to send $500 million worth of bitcoin on a Sunday night? Oh, wait, I forgot - I don't drink wine. Never mind.

The party that sees, hears, and speaks no evil unless a Democrat is involved - in which case IT'S THE WORST THING SINCE ADAM AND EVE WERE CAST OUT OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN OMG HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE UP TO

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."

Not only was the Times obsessed with Hillary Clinton's emails while ignoring emails about Donald Trump sent to its own reporter, but since then it has constantly attacked anyone who dared look into questions of Trump's character. All with sanctimony. Now we know it was all a big lie.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years." When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

If people seeing a list of who Graham had calls to and from in that short time period is so incredibly dangerous, then maybe it's a good idea if we have that list.

AOC: How can we, as members of congress, Republican or Democrat, vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people? That is what this legislation does. In fact, Senator Graham said he was going to seek well over $1 million from the American people, from this.

Neither can legally consent to sex, so no, there is no difference.
