What's interesting abt this story is 18-yo who returned to MAL saying Epstein had pressured her for sex is not clearly IDed as girl whose father was MAL member who really let Trump have it. She could still be, but if not, it would be THREE (known) MAL girls Epstein assaulted before he was reported.

Slightly fascinated by a local news outlet factchecking AP in this story’s comment section. apnews.com/article/thre...

just when will this shit ever end?

Second, how do you repeat this bullshit abt 2016 w/o noting that it is either a deliberate lie and/or deliberate cope? Want to explain why Trump (needs to) believe Russian lies, you start there.

NYT piece on Trump's abandonment of Ukraine is necessary reading but there are a few weird bits. First, how do you drop the news that Kushner has done business w/Kirill Dmitriev w/o further context? That was the barely disguised goal in Dmitriev's 2017 outreach. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

read or die.

The next conservative that takes responsibility for their own actions will be the first. "Party of personal responsibility," my ass.

"President Donald Trump is using his first veto of his current term to kill funding for a major drinking water project in Colorado. The Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit (AVC) Act passed unanimously in the House and Senate." "drinking water, very bad" ~ trump

Here a novel idea, let’s let the survivors redact the Epstein files.

😮 What a winner it would be for a candidate to run for the French presidency on the basis of justice and holding Musk to account! www.joe.co.uk/politics/fra...

What you describe there is a monumental and catastrophic dereliction of duty by the news industry.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

More people need to know this: In Epstein’s 2008 federal deal, prosecutors agreed not to pursue federal charges against Epstein or any unnamed “potential co-conspirators.” That functioned as protection for people involved before 2008, similar to immunity.

I'd expect a fake Trump DOJ "antitrust inquiry" into the Netflix, Warner Brothers deal sometime in early 2026. It will feature a lot of fake-populist right wing propaganda about how Trump is protecting the public interest from Woke Netflix when he's really just helping Larry Ellison dominate media

Who agrees? ✋

Why do Americans enjoy getting screwed so much? Why? #activism

I hear they’re developing a new reality show for Trump & Co. Apparently it’s European.

I find it strange that this incident has somehow been memory holed in the collective political consciousness It’s weird to discuss politics, parties, horse race etc without this being the first topic in every conversation In an important sense all other details about politics are irrelevant

How do we know that billionaire-owned AI is not going to be some great boon to society? Because we already know these guys and how they operate. All of them have had ample time and opportunity to give back or make a positive difference and passed every time. Most of them won't even pay their taxes.

for the love of god, AI systems aren't "just tools that are neither good nor evil in and of themselves". AI systems *are* tools of capitalism. they exist as tools of capitalism. there is no AI system "in and of itself" outside of capitalism

bill bar's been pretty quiet...

has putin applied for his gold membership yet, or is he holding out for the platinum... no thanks to russians and afrikaaners. we have plenty of rascists to last an eternity.

"That 60-count indictment was supported by an 82-page prosecution memorandum detailing the evidence supporting those allegations. Had that federal indictment been filed and prosecuted, there is no doubt that Jeffrey Epstein would have been convicted back in 2007" ""We need to see that indictment,"

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

but that happened so long ago...

Once again raising the question -- why is the president's son-in-law at this official event?

"From my experience as a prosecutor, the principal way a person becomes a confidential informant is when the FBI uses a person’s involvement in criminal activity to turn the individual into an informant to avoid prosecution,"

every republican knows it.

done deal. I had to go a bit further last month, but Lowe's is my new hardware/home improvement go-to...wasn't difficult.

lol, but republicans won't do anything because they'll all need a pardon when this is over...

I was almost at the end of this (excellent) piece and was going to share with a comment about how reality is important, hard things aee food and add value etc.... And he just wrote it. Strongly recommend this.

I realize we've moved on to the new daily outrage, but enjoyed this post re: steven miller's atrocious behavior...

No one has ever been able to adequately explain what Putin is meant to have thought NATO expansion would threaten him with, apart from limiting his expansionist ambitions. "He was worried they'd invade Russia." No he wasn't. He just wasn't. That's not a thing anyone thought might happen.

"a Democratic president could then repurpose ICE's budget as a reparations fund for families of immigrants who were improperly deported or denied due process, RELEASE THE NAMES OF ALL AGENTS who broke the law...prosecute every lawbreaking agent for crimes who wasn't preemptively pardoned by Trump"

*-There are no pre-sold tickets. There are no reserved seats. It's first-come first-seated. So there's absolutely no guarantee to anyone that they'll be admitted to the venue. Only in Trump world can one lose $1M by deciding to not give away (for free) something they're not even paying for. 2/2

If I were a wealthy, commercially successful non-Trump Kennedy Center honoree, I would very publicly offer to pay 100% of Redd's legal fees, all the way up to the Supreme Court, as well as any fines imposed.
