When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate." When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video. He's a tyrant.

It looks like Lindsey Halligan misled a grand jury, prosecutorial conduct equivalent to committing perjury, in order to manufacture an indictment against James Comey for… wait for it… perjury.

Do you really think a Department of Justice that lies to judges about grand jury indictments is going to be open and honest about the Epstein Files?

This is mostly right. It's more than 24 million, though. It's everyone who has health insurance, because this is driving up premiums across the board. If there's one thing capitalism has taught me, it's that when prices go up on that stuff they never come back down.

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

You don’t speak up inside a captured agency because it’s fun. You do it because the stakes are deadly serious. Dr. Norton was placed on administrative leave for defending Americans’ health. She's a hero for saying what needs to be said. We stand with her. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

Because the jury found sandwich guy not guilty the frogs have chosen their weapon.

The Hemp thing is about cutting off revenue that gives states independence from Fed $.

One of my earliest moments of radicalization was in 2005 when Larry Summers said that women biologically have less aptitude for science than men. Following that, scores of equally unimpressive people wrote pieces trying to explain or justify his remarks, when they should have called for his removal.

This. And we are not screaming this loudly enough.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Republicans. Cool with pedophilia, but absolutely certain they have to stop weed. thehill.com/newsletters/...

If you’re wondering, this is exactly how we federal workers feel We’ve been fighting for this country since Jan 20th. Leadership needs to fight too "We went into this shutdown knowing we would suffer but it would be worth it for the country. This deal is a slap in the face to every federal worker"

The cave caucus COULD say "we'll get people fed and paid through the holidays, give the American people the gift of the Epstein files, and take up the fight in the new year" but they're saying "we had a generational electoral victory and nothing we were doing was working so we quit"

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

Last time in the hospital, total bill was $177,000. Without insurance, I would be bankrupt. $2,000 wouldn't pay for one day's care. He's an idiot.

Universal healthcare -like every other developed nation has - is the only answer. ACA was a compromise. It’s not working. We’re wasting time money energy stress and bankruptcy on this. Universal healthcare is the only answer. That’s damn clear.

Powerball jackpot tonight is 467,000,000. So to get to a trillion, I’d only have to win a jackpot like tonight’s … 2,141 times. To put it another way, I’d have to win the lottery, once a week, every week, for … 41 years Hot streaks like that? Very rare. Have to be quite lucky. Fingers crossed.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as normal and expected Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What the fuck is wrong with the people running our government?

This the best explanation I've seen so far

Watching RFK jr run away from someone collapsing feels like a harbinger of things to come

I dunno which old healthcare industry vulture needs to hear this, but don't lock your knees when you have to stand for a while. Your blood pressure might drop and cause you to pass out and annoy an old man with dementia

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

If you aren't looking at the news in other countries, this is what we look like to the world at the moment.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

It’s starting to appear as if the shutdown IS the coup.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I just don’t understand the mindset of constantly ceding this ground to the right. We can wrap ourselves in the flag and patriotism and fight for what is right instead of being oh so savvy ironic cynics.

People are saying that Portland is burning to the ground, is it true? isportlandburning.com

The GOP “concept” of a health care plan Is literally FUCK OFF AND DIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE. youtu.be/b8BRzLwX8y4?...

Maybe the campaign can make it through tomorrow without any new controversies. At least one day would be nice.
