Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.

For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Is it bad if a sitting federal judge was (allegedly) part of a conspiracy to commit murder? It seems bad ....
OMFG-ex DOJ official (& now federal judge) Emil Bove was involved in the administration's plots to murder individuals via lethal strikes

"At a DOJ conference ... Bove told drug prosecutors the ... administration wasn't interested in interdicting ... Instead... the U.S. should "just sink the boats."

anyway there's probably some decent traffic for someone who puts together a decent "did your congressperson vote to release the epstein files?" website after the vote in the House, bonus points if you link to info on any progressive opponent of theirs if they're a No

A Republican congressman just called Trump a pedophile on CNN.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

One thing is clear, the campaign to threaten and sue networks over their coverage definitely worked
"Trump has not been implicated in wrongdoing" -- CNN offers this dubious disclaimer in every interview they do about Epstein

Trump is a pedophile
"...Mr. Epstein flatly asserted that Mr. Trump 'knew about the girls,' many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage. In another, Mr. Epstein pondered how to address questions from the news media about their relationship as Mr. Trump was becoming a national political figure."

Everyone already knows Republicans don't care about their healthcare costs! It's why the government was shut down for 40 days in the first place! They had just rejected a one year extension outright like two days before you all caved! A vote does nothing!
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

Honestly, if you're a Dem Senator who genuinely opposed this deal, you should go on record spilling the beans on Schumer's orchestration. This is not the moment to bury your outrage. Your colleagues are not meeting the moment and you need to cut the dead flesh away.
November 10, 2025 at 9:45 PM
@markwarner.bsky.social I expect you to oust Schumer for this or I'm voting for your primary opponent and getting all of my neighbors to do the same

if a Senator cannot compellingly and aggressively call for these bare minimum changes to party leadership—*any* Senator, no matter their name, policies, past accomplishments—then they cannot remain in office. and they should not know a single fucking moment of peace until they’re cast out for good.
The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

A vote in December does nothing to hold Republicans accountable because everyone already knows they don't want to cut healthcare subsidies. You already were holding them accountable! Now you're not!
