A group of Epstein survivors just formally demanded that the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation into how the heavily redacted Epstein files were released. They’re demanding action now to release the files and we stand with them.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Actor Brian Cox on meeting the orange felon:

"He’s nuts. He’s mad. He’s unpleasant. The man just made me feel like I wanted to go and have a shower.”

Anyone with morals would find him disgusting in every way, so meeting the evil piece of shit in person must be a nightmare.

This presidential “pardon,” as it’s for a state crime, is the equivalent of digital toilet paper, only flimsier and serving a less useful purpose.

Trump expects to be nominated for "his Noble Prize" while the bombs are still falling on Ukrainian cities and killing Ukrainians. He wants all the praise and glory without ever having to do any work or cross his long time benefactor in Russia.

Mitch McConnell:

“Putin has spent the entire year trying to play Trump for a fool. If Administration officials are more concerned with appeasing Putin than securing real peace, then the President ought to find new advisors. Rewarding Russian butchery would be disastrous to America’s interests”
