The Epstein saga lays bare the playbook: right-wing media, GOP politicians & MAGA propagandists colluding to hide heinous acts, divert attention and protect the powerful. It’s what they do on EVERY issue. If your eyes are open, you can't miss it — unless you are willingly looking the other way.

RFK Jr looks like that one guy in every zombie movie who gets bitten but refuses to disclose it out of stubborn egotistical idiot selfishness, all while getting progressively clammier and more unhinged, until he finally goes full monster and gets spectacularly killed

Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…

As prices rise and job growth slows — due to Trump’s tariffs, his attempt to take over the Fed, and his attacks on immigrants — America will likely fall into the dread trap of “stagflation.”

If nothing else brings him down, Trump's authoritarian control over the economy will.

Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want?

Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?

Chile is one of the safest places for LGBTQ+ to reside. They have some of the worlds strongest anti discrimination laws.

Watching how Mayor Jacobs and Gov. Pritzker are having to explain why they oppose Trump’s military occupation is infuriating. Those of us who live in Baltimore, Chicago, and other cities cited by Trump are not a backdrop for a strongman’s show of power.

Phang: We have to pump the brakes here—because for someone like Ghislaine Maxwell, who’s already gone to court, professed her innocence, and claimed she had nothing to do with it—what value could she possibly offer now?

Let’s not be naive. Donald Trump quite literally holds the keys to her freedom
