If someone makes a joke about a trump distraction, they’re not falling for the distraction. They’re making a joke. Humor is important. If it weren’t, Trump wouldn’t have gotten Colbert fired.
Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.
Trump is so desperate to change the subject from Epstein that his DOJ is literally putting out press releases about Hillary Clinton’s emails.
Trump: “People don’t explain to me, I explain to them.” Now apply this to Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi didn’t explain the results on an investigation to Trump. Trump explained to Bondi the conclusion he wanted.
This is, to me, the defining dyamic of everything the last six months. Any game theory notion of deterrence or the shoe being on the other foot ever is entirely gone. Either 1) They don't think they'll ever lose power again or 2) they're confident Democrats won't ever do the same things back to them
Guy who posted this tried to avoid felony charges in four jurisdictions by arguing that presidents are absolutely immune from criminal prosecution

Folks, we are having some serious weather pop up in areas of the state, with warnings in the Northern region. Please have your weather alerts on and take shelter if needed.
"Execs at CBS’s parent company Paramount may have dumped Colbert not to appease Trump, but to join with him. There’s ample evidence that billionaires genuinely, sincerely like Trump’s vision of authoritarian rule by billionaire, and want to do their part to crush dissent and discipline the proles."

White House removes Wall Street Journal from Scotland press pool over Epstein bombshell.
If you aren’t already following @rachelwells1.bsky.social, who reports on reproductive health from Tennessee & scooped the story about the woman who was denied care for a pregnancy because she was unmarried, you’ll want to follow her immediately!
I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary. Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.
BARCLAYS cuts $TGT to Underweight: ".. absent a bigger strategic shift, we believe sales will continue to underperform. .. the macro seems like it could get worse as inflation is just starting to accelerate. .. Further, our work suggests trends weakest among TGT's more frequent shoppers .."
This is what fear looks like.
Doesn't matter how we feel about immigration, undocumented folks or anything else. This is happening in your name & w your dollars. You good with that? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
I hope everyone notices that Trump is trying to normalize the idea of arresting political opponents for no reason (Trump attempted a coup in 2021 so miss me with the false equivalences)
The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. The president's job is to "faithfully execute" the decisions we've made and he has signed into law. He may not impound, redirect or confiscate money outside federal law.
Constitutional crisis is here
notice that all they do when they talk about the need to stop talking about the Epstein story is to talk about the Epstein story so let’s not tell them not to stop talking about the need to stop talking about Epstein so that they will keep talking about him 🤫🤫
Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities.

The amazing thing about brave people speaking out is that it inspires others to do the same by creating a permission structure. Since I published this article 4 hours ago, I've heard from multiple sources confirming what's in it. www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...
Have any of these politicians trying to get access to ICE facilities actually sued to get access? i think the courts would absolutely allow it. Also, only cowards hide their faces, ICE.
JACKSONVILLE — TW ⚠️: Unarmed Black driver has his window smashed + face punched by a sheriff’s deputy after being pulled over for not having his headlights on… during the day. 🤔 Sheriff TK Waters says they’ve launched an “internal investigation”: www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news...

I really hope it’s true that FIFA is now considering moving the 2026 World Cup games from the U.S. to Canada, that would be beautiful. 💙🇨🇦
Hate is powerful. In fact it’s powerful enough to convince people to destroy the programs they benefit from, to give more money to the very rich, because they somehow believe it hurts the people they don’t like.

She’s an idiot. And she’s lying.
A new report by Human Rights Watch and partner nonprofits released today confirms that migrants at the downtown Miami ICE facility were indeed shackled with hands tied behind their backs, forced to kneel, and made to eat from styrofoam plates “like dogs.”

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

A judge in DC has ruled that the Trump administration has to stop violating public disclosure laws. This is about the administration's efforts to take over Congress' power of the purse & altho the opinion is 60 pages, what the judge has to say is worth your time. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...
"What I saw and heard on my recent trip confirmed a shift that, like an earthquake, had been building for years: The Baltic states are no longer on the periphery of NATO. They are part of its new core. They are now NATO’s strategic conscience."

Years later he got hair transplants, heel lifts, started wearing orange makeup, and founded a cult that believes he’s a tough alpha male who is a great family man and devout Christian.

NEW. @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and I on Epstein’s past crimes and Trump’s present coverup, how scandals like this often progress and why coverups unravel, and what developments may lie ahead. www.youtube.com/live/WaVreAv...
JFC this story. Guy survived torture under Pinochet and was granted asylum in 1987. Went to replace his green card after losing his wallet & was disappeared and deported without explanation.
Thank you Stephen Colbert for your willingness to speak truth to power. Staying far from timid. And never bending the knee to a wannabe king.
Good on him 👏 hopefully more people follow Stephen’s lead and boycott the orange idiot.
A U.S. citizen and former Marine detained. A 15-year-old boy with no criminal record held at "Alligator Alcatraz." A father who has lived here for 30 years. No criminal record. Still held by ICE after nearly 6 months. We are witnessing the cruelty of Trump's police state.

The Florida Supreme Court upheld a congressional map drafted by Ron DeSantis — even as it acknowledged that the map weakens Black electoral power in the state. The 5th Congressional District, held by Black representatives for nearly 30 years, was dismantled at DeSantis’ request in 2022.
It’s almost like it was never actually about protecting children… Release everything today….
Wild! We can’t get bipartisan support for anything in Congress right now. But look who’s lining up to support the release of the Epstein files…
If you haven't listened to "Die for You" by #CallumScott, you should. The lyrics are exquisite and Callum's performance is perfect. No flashing lights, choreographed dances, or drone photography. Just heartbreaking emotion delivered with sincerity and simplicity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWD5...

JAMIE LEE CURTIS REACTS TO 'LATE SHOW' CANCELLATION: 'THEY'RE TRYING TO SILENCE PEOPLE'
I’m looking forward to Stephen Colbert sharpening his knife over this year to show the capitulating Paramount what free speech is all about.
It’s a cover up.

Dem Party: We are spending $20M to figure out how to talk to male voters. Mamdani: Save your money. I have +45 favorability with male voters & +73 with men under 45. Endorse me. Dem Party: No way dude. Now—why is our favorability is -54? Let's spend $20M on wealthy consultants to figure it out!
Talarico speaking on Rogan: I'm a Christian, and I think there is no more dangerous form of government than theocracy—because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God.
