Schrodinger's Immigrants

Immigrants too lazy to work & stealing all the jobs.Destitute while buying up all the housing. Military police to keep us safe but guns because the police can't keep us safe.

Its a core tenet of fascism. The enemy is both the weakest & strongest when convenient.

From a psychological perspective, violently destroying the East Wing and covering the rest with hideously gaudy reminders of himself is one of the more obvious things he’s done.

Which US carrier is currently in the Carribean to support Operation Epstein Distraction?

The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78)

Acosta 🧵
Sweetheart deal is the big thing:

A secret meeting at a West Palm Beach Marriott between Miami U.S. Attorney Acosta and Epstein’s powerful, politically connected lawyer Jay Lefkowitz gave rise to an extraordinary “non-prosecution agreement”

Virginia Giuffre says in "Nobody's Girl" that Epstein himself made these same pseudoscientific arguments to justify his crimes, too:

"it is no longer morning in america. it is now high noon."
"Fuck moving forward. Screw coming together. We are going to hire a team of prosecutors so large it needs its own building, fund them so well they have their own helicopters, and instruct them to go after everyone who broke the law from the White House to individual ICE agents."
i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna
bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

"Now you can understand why trump wakes up in the middle of the night sweating when he hears you and I are friends"
-Epstein, 6/28/2019

Apparently plotting both a movie with Chomsky and also the Sep 2019 elections in Israel with someone who wants to announce he's Ehud Barak's "strategic advisor"

Was Trump personally meeting with Epstein even after he got elected?

And it's THREE YEARS after the disastrous deal from Alex Acosta. They are discussing their personal knowledge in context where they think they are immune from further prosecution. This isn't an "allegation"; this is an admission by co-conspirators.
Devin, I don't think many non-lawyers understand just how "yeah, that underlying fact's 100% true" it is when you have a private email between two parties with no reason to lie discussing the implications of something they agree is a fact they both have personal knowledge of.

Is Schumer still the minority leader? Is Durbin still the whip? Is Cortes-Masto still a vice chair? Good Democrats -- rank and file, those committed to restoring party --must tell Act Blue and every candidate with hands out for the coming midterms -- that there's no cash coming without new leaders.

If you are a Democrat in the Tennessee 7th, you have a chance to do something incredible starting tomorrow as to the special election on December 2nd

The Republican Party appears to be collapsing there, perhaps in part because it is trying to starve everyone
Turnout was down 75% in Middle TN U.S. House special election, particularly in GOP strongholds • Tennessee Lookout
Turnout in the special election primary for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District race was down compared to the 2024 General Election.

many such cases

Kash Patel in his book: "All their attacks only convinced me that we were on to something big. Who knows, maybe if they didn't attack me so hard I wouldn't have had such certainty about [Russia Gate] or pursued it so fervently."
Seems clear that Pulte 1) broke the law while going on fishing expeditions for baseless mortgage fraud claims 2) immediately removed everyone who tried to investigate that wrong-doing.

How can the Dems legitimately claim to be anti-corruption if no Democrat can adequately explain wtf just happened?
Either didn't control them, or did control them and just tried to save face by having retiring/non-election year Dems vote for it.

It's not like he's calling them out, so what's he leading?

Right before finding out which way SCOTUS comes down on the question of starving millions of children? That's the worst, stupidest time to cave. It's really weird that Dem Senators are posting pretending like they don't know that.

Sheldon Whitehouse absolutely understood what Jackson, J did. 🧵

Kash Patel's book, Government Gangsters (2023), is here. It begins with an official albeit somewhat ominous letter from the DoD regarding a security review done on the manuscript, so you immediately know you're in for some heavy shit.

Please don your tinfoil hats before reading my thoughts: 🧵

every time a state reaches a certain pop, it must undergo mitosis
you actually have to end the American republic to end the senate. it is literally the only institution which is explicitly impossible to reform even by amendment

you can however create as many states as you like
Part of me thinks “yeah, primary every last one of these fuckers!!!”

And the other part of me thinks “eh, fuck it. We’re gonna need wholesale constitutional reform anyway. Just abolish the damn Senate.”

Anecdote: my dad was glad the shutdown might be ending, being a retired govt employee himself and a Texas democrat. Called it a pointless shutdown. But he was also genuinely bemoaning the destruction in Gaza and how US weapons were used, in the same conversation.

There’s two Senate Dem problems imo:

1. Leadership out of touch
2. Not enough progressives; too many centrists

So they feel like a party of never-Trumpers rather than a true Democratic party, aka controlled opposition that underrepresents the base
November 10, 2025 at 6:07 AM
Hot take but if I had to pick a Senator as leader from what I saw last couple weeks, I’d pick Senator Ben Ray Lujan.

Seeing him go at it with Thune felt right. And considering all the shit with immigration rn, having a gen-x Mexican-American as leader would help counter all this right-wing racism

The Congressional Progressive Caucus has 94 seats in the House.

They have 1 seat in the Senate (Sanders. Not even Warren? lol). So the mismatch is real.
