Sarah Beckstrom passed away. I just posted the article. Her father said she wasn’t going to make it. My condolences to her father, her family and friends. May she Rest in Power.

It's easy to be numb because it's par for the course nowadays, but repeatedly calling a reporter who asks a reasonable question "stupid" is conduct unbecoming for a small-town mayor, let alone the President of the United States. The press exists to play a watchdog role, not be a supplicant.

This is exactly the sort of thing that is going to require people to go to jail for a very long time if we are to avoid this ever happening again. We're going to be told we need to move on. We've been told that every time since ~1865. Which is why the crises keep happening. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Nobody, I repeat…nobody should be surprised by this. Steve Witkoff works for Donald Trump. Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. So of course Witkoff works for Putin as well. It’s despicable, it’s traitorous, but it sure the hell isn’t surprising.

"The U.S. must not pressure Ukraine to give up its land, its people, or its future...The Ukrainians are not asking for troops. They are asking for equipment, but mostly for political backing. They are asking us to keep faith with the principles we proclaim." www.thebulwark.com/p/ukraine-ru...

Following the release of the Epstein Files: How will we hold accountable those that are in powerful positions and were either complicit or participated in the crime?

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Slotkin: I’m not going to be dissuaded from standing up for the Constitution just because he threatens us. I’m not going to let him intimidate us out of speaking our minds.

“The FBI gained access to conversations in a ‘courtwatch’ Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.”

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States: - Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party - Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children - Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats Those are just factual statements.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Federal Agents Arrest More Than 200 Immigrants in Charlotte, North Carolina

The did vote on counts 2 and 3 in the ORIGINAL 3 count indictment. But the U.S. Attorney drafted a 2nd , two count indictment. That 2nd indictment was NOT presented to the GJ (this is the problem) but was presented to the Court.

GOP Rep. Salazar: "Talking about Charlotte -- 200 people in 48 hours were arrested. 70% of them did not have a criminal record according to DHS. That's a mistake ... do not touch the lady who has been here for 10, 20 years contributing to the economy ... that is why those people are protesting"

Remember Jamal Khashoggi.

Life is becoming more expensive for millions of Americans, and we know why: Republicans care more about their billionaire allies than the well-being of the working class.

“My sister is not a political tool for you to use. These survivors are not political tools for you to use. These are real stories, real trauma. And it's time for you to stop just talking about it and act. Vote yes.”

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet. It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition. (1/2)

The Butcher's Bill for 10 Months of Trump 2.0 open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Welcome back @realtexaspaul.com from vacation!!! We DEMAND that the Trump admin Realease The Epstein Files!!!!

ICE raids a Charlotte church and arrests a member whose child was inside www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

The journalists waxing nostalgic over Epstein's NYC sex trafficking parties are the same ones also freaking out about Mamdani and they're all in the fucking emails chatting with the guy a decade after his conviction.

Release the #EpsteinFiles

Steve Bannon advised Jeffrey Epstein for years on how to rehab his reputation, texts show

"Former workers and local campaigners told Rest of World that most of the positions are in security and cleaning."

"to the second Trump Administration" 👀

Men, in particular young men, swung to the Dems in this year's election. The notion that most men are bigots and many had at least a bit of a Nazi phase at one point so Democrats have to be more welcoming to that stuff lest they lose elections forever was always a bad read on 2024, and now worse.

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document— "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

Day #297 Any red that tells me they hate gov't waste..grrrr 😡😡. $50000 bonus & Student loan forgiveness for ICE, Billions in cost to change DOD to DOW. Millions to be awarded to 8 who had their phone LEGALLY investigated and now.... more vacation! What a grift! www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

17 year old girl, who was paid $400.00 to have sex with Gaetz was homeless and did it to pay for braces. #GOPPartyOfPedophiles #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.salon.com/2025/11/13/u...

The death toll in Kyiv from the russian attack last night has risen to five ‼️

That April raid on a birthday party in Hays County resulted in zero criminal charges, despite claims this was some big TdA bust. www.texasobserver.org/prosecutors-...

If you know anyone who is still a staunch Trump supporter, even after all this, I would keep them away from any kids this Thanksgiving.

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.

www.propublica.org/article/chic... We ruined lives, but Stephen Miller got a cool video out of it. 😣

An absolute powerhouse of a @propublica.org team has done what U.S. officials refuse to do: identify the men and women swept up in that midnight raid in Chicago. Life in the building was not perfect, but reporters found little evidence to back up government claims: www.propublica.org/article/chic...
