I'm about 60% through "Second Chance Romance" the latest masterpiece by @oliviawrites.bsky.social & I keep stopping to *gush* at my partners about how much I love this book. Plus-size rep for both the hero & heroine, & the HEART in this book is just -chef's kiss-. NOBODY does it like Olivia Dade.

Epstein files.....

The Senate rebuked Trump on his tariffs. The nation rebuked Trump in the November elections. The entire Congress rebuked Trump for his ongoing cover up of the Epstein crimes. Next week Congress is likely to rebuke Trump again, this time over his selling out of Ukraine and our European allies.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan. And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

That isn't a reasonable solution, Scott.

I am enjoying watching these guys -- Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Marjorie Taylor Greene -- all discover in real time the ugly truth about their own shitty Republican party, which we've known forever. Still... it's all just noise until they start telling people to vote Democratic or stay home.

I'm wondering if Kegseth is hell-bent on going after Mark Kelly because he outranked him. Small men do that kind of thing.

Unbelievable. Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

Thou shalt not shame people for not being dressed up and super nice on commercial flights when you use tax dollars to buy private jets for yourselves.

Where are those Epstein Files? Still deleting his name & image from thousands of pages, Pam?

Seth is right about this. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him. Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Best comment I've seen on the internet today: MTG criticized Dems for literally years --- and never was afraid. She criticized Trump for a few weeks, and resigned in fear for her life. Says everything about which party is actually promoting violence.

TONIGHT: Trump calls for the arrest of Democratic lawmakers who urged troops to refuse illegal orders – JD Vance asks the American people for “a little patience” on the economy – & concerns over the White House selling some of America's most advanced fighter jets to Saudi Arabia.

🚨VP SAYS TRUMP “NOT A VIOLENT PERSON”🚨 JD Vance is running defense like the LAPDOG he is as Trump escalates his VIOLENT rhetoric, calling for the execution of his opposition this morning. 🐾

Ivana died the day before she was to be deposed in the Trump Org case. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4mw...

Yeah, almost like Dictators work together to dismantle their countries and wield authoritarianism. Who would have thought? But I'm sure Hitler, Stalin, & Mussolini just *seemed* to be working together.... right? RIGHT?

Front page of NYTimes. Trump holding hands with MBS, Saudi leader who ordered the murder and dismemberment of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. His best friends: Putin and MBS. Murderers. Butchers.Tyrants. How low can he go?

This joyful photo of Kamala Harris and Justin Trudeau was taken four years ago today. 💙 Four years later and the president is welcoming the Saudi Prince while isolating our Canadian friends and other allies.

Journalist Jamal Khashoggi was ambushed by a 15 member Saudi kill squad, strangled to death, and then had his body dismembered with a bone saw. Or as pillar of democracy and rule of law Donald Trump described today, “things happen.”

Saudi money is indispensable for complete control of US media by pro-Trump techbros.

I don't want more Saudi money in this country.

Trump’s Unflinching Support for Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman In Wake of Jamal Khashoggi's Murder. youtu.be/em0LLWSifdU

A journalist asked the Saudi Prince what he could tell Americans about why we should trust him after the assassination of Khashoggi, & Trump reacted by saying, “Things happen” & that the Prince knew nothing & it was rude to ask him about it. Khashoggi was killed for criticizing the Saudi govm’t.

A coalition of 9/11 survivors, first responders, and family members of those lost had urged Trump to demand MBS take accountability for "the overwhelming evidence of Saudi government support for the 9/11 plot." Instead, he gave Saudi Arabia fighter jets and designated them a non-NATO ally.

The bill only forces the release of unclassified information. Pass it on.

ICE/CBP seem to be trying it everywhere at once right now. I hope everyone hollers at them real good

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

😬

“Quiet, Piggy” would be fitting for his tombstone.

The Epstein files aren't getting released, people. Face the facts. The GOP didn't turn on Trump. He gave them the go-ahead. Notice, they did this after he changed his tune. It's because he can open investigations into Dems and claim the files are part of an "ongoing investigation."

The assumption that we have to deter asylum seekers is never questioned. The reasons they have left their countries are hardly even considered. #R4Today

Every time I see a Microsoft 365 Copilot advert I am SO glad I don’t have the kind of life that would need me to use Microsoft 365 Copilot…

Whose shocked?

"The grace shown to Olivia Nuzzi is never shown to Black women," is pretty much the fire take of the month.

Yeah I can shit on Keith Olbermann but I’m going to also say that Olivia Nuzzi has no self respect & is really a damaged woman. I can see white women making excuses for her already. The grace she’s being shown is never given to black women. Ever.

Really important on a day people keep trying to defend Keith Olbermann

It is wild to me that anyone is still saying Trump isn't in the Epstein files when he's literally intervening to try and protect the man behind the most public sex trafficking scandal outside of Epstein. Like.... For fuck's sake.

Guess who’s back? It’s Paul Ingrassia! With a new government gig! That’s right! It’s everyone’s favorite far-right troll who was a fake lawyer for Andrew Tate who became a Trump nominee www.nationalmemo.com/paul-ingrass...

While everyone's paying attention to the Epstein files, a big story just broke about another alleged human trafficker with ties to Trump — Andrew Tate:

Doesn’t This Fall Under Obstruction Of Justice?!? HUGE BREAKING: Trump lawyer Paul Ingrassia reportedly obstructed justice into a DHS sex trafficking investigation of Andrew Tate by demanding Tate gets his phone back from DHS – by orders of Trump's WHITE HOUSE. 😳 These people are sick.

It was just 8 months ago that Andrew Tate was again accused of sexual assault. This time in the United States. Tate nearly choked his girlfriend unconscious during a violent sexual encounter. Bri Stern filed a police report & provided photo documentation of injuries.

Because the President of the United States of America thinks that ad-hominem attacks are absolutely chill and fine, even in the face of his being a kiddy diddler.

honestly pathetic for every institution that larry summers beat them to the punch by announcing he’s stepping back before anyone outright fired him. CAP wyd

Pretty sure it's 1, 3, & 4 for most of MAGA. Especially the menfolk with the ignorance / laziness --- let's be honest, people worship Homer Simpson --- the moron who wrecks his down regularly and strangles his own son constantly. Because he's a lazy, drunken, slob.

Yeah. Because now it's going to be an "ongoing investigation" until Trump is dead and buried.

Great description!
