I wish this were not so true as to be nearly indistinguishable from satire

Analysis | The Epstein revelations have roiled Trump’s base. Here’s how many kids worldwide his administration will have to starve to win the base back.

But his emails… open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Hm. Really. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Russia, Wikileaks, NYT, and James Comey absolutely refused to allow that.

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

ngl It would be pretty funny if Bill Clinton turned out to be a total boy scout in this and that KEN STARR was the guilty one.

Powerful words from @robertgarcia.bsky.social.

The future Pope apparently loved the Blues Brothers and was intentionally dressed that way: www.thetimes.com/world/europe...

That’s…a lot of staff turnover.

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

It's funny how many evil people randomly crop up in these. Bob Kerrey is remembered as a footnote in political history now, but he should be remembered as one of America's most prolific Vietnam war criminals:

WHAT THE FUCK? _Bill Clinton_ loved that guy. Some older Dems thought he was worth talking to. But the idea that the current Democratic establishment loves Summers is ridiculous. Even people who thought he was good on policy—he’s regularly shat on Dems for 25 years—never liked him.

Nope!!

Jeffrey Epstein to Peter Thiel: trump delegate? fun

👇👇👇👇

New Jersey’s populous Cumberland County, in southern Jersey, has counted its provisional ballots. And we now know that Democratic challengers have ousted both GOP incumbents. The GOP’s 6-1 majority becomes 4-3, setting up a chance for Dems to flip the board in the next cycle.

"skin as part of brain?" This is that great intellect people talk about?

They calling them “catch kits.” A nightmare.

Holy shit, this column from @jamellebouie.net is the whole thing

Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”: wapo.st/448fDw6

Gonna be a whole lot of Repub retirements.

bonkers sentence from @semafor.com: "Khan and Mamdani, in this way, are outcome-oriented populists in the mold of President Donald Trump, who has repurposed executive powers in new ways"

They like Trump and want to help him

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou on Donald Trump: “Ghislaine Maxwell did introduce me to him and she introduced me to him with a clear message of my being with him in the same way that she had trafficked me and brought me to Jeffrey Epstein”

If Republicans got rid of the filibuster, then Republicans could pass what they want, and that would be bad, so instead Democrats helped Republicans pass what Republicans want, that showed ‘em.

The correspondence between a NYT reporter & Epstein is extraordinary. But the NYT also has questions to answer: it fired him for soliciting a donation from Epstein. Did it not conduct any sort of investigation? Or did it just decide to not make public?

From today’s Russian papers: “Nearly 7,000 transport companies in Russia on the verge of bankruptcy”, “A record one in four companies have overdue loans”, “decline in civilian sectors of industry.” #ReadingRussia

Me, wisely: "But *his* emails"

Do they include a recording of the Horst Wessel Song? www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/7ad4687...

Now we know - Epstein's Nov 13 visit to Trump Tower was no coincidence. On Nov. 10 he was still in Paris but preparing to fly, and emailed: "Trump gives many new things to do." The next year, 2017, he spent Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago with Trump. Once Trump had power, Epstein was all in. 8/

Here's the full exchange from the email drop, a complicated thread with multiple replies. The screenshot of Sept.-Nov. 2016 is from the Jan 6 'Big Timeline' (link below). That was a dark period full of dirty tricks, foreign influence.. and Jeffrey Epstein. 6/ docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Part 3: Epstein and Stone email again a week after the election is called for Trump. Now Epstein seems onboard with the winner. He tells her: "I'm in Trump Tower". 5/

Part 2: on Sept. 26, three days after Stone asked Epstein if he thought Trump could win, he answers: "too soon to tell, we will know more come oct 15". He doesn't explain: what would he learn then? Meanwhile Stone isn't even sure if Epstein supports Trump: "Which team you pulling for?" 3/

Why would Epstein know Trump's election prospects on Oct. 15? Maybe Russia. That month Epstein arranged for Trump advisors Peter Thiel & Tom Barrack to meet Russian Vitali Churkin. Russia fed hacked emails to WikiLeaks. Then Thiel's folks spun up Pizzagate: a conspiracy about a pedophile ring. 4/

In 2017, the sitting president had Thanksgiving with his old friend who had been convicted of sex crimes with a minor. And we’re only learning about this now?

Priorities. 🤡 @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Epstein was scheduled to have breakfast w/Bannon 2 days before his arrest.

WAPO: “.. The Agriculture Department is preparing to fire an employee in the division that handles food benefits after she publicly warned that the shutdown could have negative impacts on the millions of Americans who rely on the federal government ..” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

No wonder DOJ had to have an army go through the Epstein Files to identify all of Trump’s appearances

Ken Starr, immediately after being fired for his role in the coverup of sexual abuse at Baylor: I should reach out to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein this happened! this is a thing that happened!

Chicagoans say their iconic Michigan Avenue retail district is called the Magnificent Mile. Donald Trump says it is called the Miracle Mile Shopping Center. As with most controversies, the truth may lie somewhere in between.

Democrats say Donald Trump molests children. As president, he's been far more likely to starve or deport them. Two Pinocchios.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Bill Barr's dad, Donald Barr (who later became headmaster at my school, while I was there) sure knew how to find a great intellect

Jeffrey Epstein, dating counselor to a former university president Also … “dint”? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

"Literally every single word the President said was wrong... We have enormous anxiety among voters. The cost of living is rising, and people are understandably upset. I just want to be crystal clear there's not a word coming out of the man's mouth that is correct."
