They've done everything they can to hide the Epstein files. If/when they do come out, don't be surprised if many files are redacted or still hidden under claims of "national security."

It speaks volumes that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, hand-picked by Trump himself, says he "has an alcoholic's personality" and uses tactics to deal with him like she does her alcoholic father. This is apparently "leadership" to the GOP.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

I wish I had a dollar for every time a Republican tried to walk back their criticisms of Trump. Complicit cowards.

Maybe it's just me, but if I was chief of staff and I felt like I had to treat my boss like I do an alcoholic father, I'd be looking for another job rather than making myself complicit.

Just like we saw again with Trump's chief of staff, Republicans have said lots of things that Dems say, but Dems get crucified for it because they've got some next level Jedi skills in denial and hypocrisy.

Biden took over a shutdown economy in the middle of a global pandemic that brought on global inflation. The economic headlines leading up to the 2024 election were mostly about how our economic recovery was the envy of the world.

Of course, these are behaviors, not personality traits. But we know he's often incoherent, sleeps on the job, and said to "grab em by the p***y," so you've really gotta wonder.
White House chier of staff Susie Wiles says Trump "has an alcoholic's personality" and uses tactics to deal with him like she does her alcoholic father. I'm seriously wondering if that means he gets touchy feely, slurs his speech, and can't think or walk straight.

It's been nearly a month and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Enforcement of Texas’ bathroom bill draws challenges
In its first week, one group’s test of the new restrictions was met with ID checks at women’s restrooms at the Capitol while the Austin City Council moved to circumvent the law's intent.

A new investigation revealed that school districts and local governments are reportedly overpaying for supplies because of Amazon contracts that bind them to dynamic pricing.
Rather than allow for competitive bidding, the deals “covertly raise prices and inflate costs for governments.”

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.
Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

In a world where fewer and fewer people concern themselves with the plight of others, the loss of Rob Reiner, who cared deeply about humanitarian causes, feels that much more devastating. RIP: 1947-1925.
