DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

It’s hard not to want to see the whole thing come crashing down when voters from Mississippi to Montana get to decide the standard of living of people in blue states. It takes enormous pain to get Americans to make a change that uncouples them from paying red states to oppress them. Geeze.

I spoke in Warren County, Indiana tonight. The organizer of the event said they usually have around 30 folks who come to their holiday supper. Tonight there were 150 people there. Things are changing. Especially in red states.

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

At the Civil Rights Museum today, I heard this musical rebuke to Richard Nixon written by Stevie Wonder. I was struck by how much the words also apply to Trump.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Carney: We know that this decades-long process of our ever-closer economic relationship between Canada and the US has ended. And as a consequence of that, many of our strengths have become our vulnerabilities, particularly in those industries that are most tightly integrated with the US….

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers." We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

With the U.S. continuing to advance Russian interests over Ukraine’s, join @michaeldweiss.bsky.social and me on Thinking Live today, Nov. 24, at 2:00pm ET, as we break down what’s really happening. snyder.substack.com

We are in a bizarre moment of diplomatic history. The purported "peace plan" that appeared a few days ago beings in Russian unreality and American weakness. Demanding everything of Ukraine and nothing of Russia, its purpose is imperialism and profiteering. snyder.substack.com/p/russian-un...

According to Leviticus in the Old Testament, "If a man lies with another man as he lies with a woman he should be stoned." I'm uncertain if this is a prohibition of telling fibs to both men and women or an encouragement to get high before doing so.

I just think Trump understands Mamdani is not someone he wants to tangle with. Too smart, too charismatic, too New York, too straightforward, too young. Easier targets elsewhere, like everyone who works for him and most of Congress. (1/2)

Together, let’s flip Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District. The special election is coming up fast voting day is December 2.

SPECIAL: We got this conversation up as fast as possible because Tim Snyder's analysis of the Trump administration's agenda and methods is so important. Also: Why No Kings matters, and what’s at stake in Ukraine. This is, if I may say so, a must-watch. youtu.be/qq-V_k3HPLY?...

Politics came for healthcare and the only way to fight back is by getting political. So proud to be one of many doctors running for office this cycle and so grateful for @314action.bsky.social and their support. 🇺🇸

Bucks County ousts ALL Republicans from the Central Bucks and Pennridge school boards after both school boards were ground zero for anti-trans policies in 2021. The wave is receding.

Paterson NJ is ~65% Hispanic, ~20% Black, ~10% white. I’m sure that’s not at all a coincidence. Democracy literally dies in bomb threats.

As @abigailspanberger.com said, Virginians will fight back against Trump at the ballot box.

This is what I know about Republicans: they don’t want us to have healthcare or food. They don’t want us educated. They think people are only worth as much as they can produce in GDP. They don’t like gay people or trans people.They treat women with disdain. I would never vote for a Republican.

Can you imagine hungry kids existing in the same country as billionaires?

Thank you! California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced today that the state will send its own observers to keep an eye on federal election monitors sent out by the Trump administration before the upcoming election.

I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.” I beg to differ. This is curated failure. jesspiper.substack.com/p/i-know-exa...

Eric is a Missouri congressman. He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

I looked it up once. SNAP takes 2% of the US budget and 93% of the money goes to the actual poor people instead of to the bureaucracy. So it's kind of like if you paid $1000 in taxes, you spent $20 on the poor of which they got to keep $18.60, and you spent $166.66 on the military.

Great framing.

Honestly the full-body disgust and horror I felt the first time I saw a post from that man, went to block who I had assumed was a random racist asshole of no consequence, and saw he was a former Gorsuch clerk and Grassley's Chief Counsel for nominations and now advises Trump on judicial nominations

Ummm…

My feelings, exactly.

The current administration is lying to the courts.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.
